Approval of Architectural and Landscape Plan Revisions
Creation of a Community Complex Open to Local Residents

Heukseok-dong 90, located near Heukseok Station on Subway Line 9, will be transformed into a large-scale complex with 1,540 residential units.

On August 8, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it had convened the Integrated Review Committee for Redevelopment Projects and approved the proposed changes to the architectural and landscape plans for the "Heukseok Redevelopment Promotion District Heukseok 9 District Housing Redevelopment Project."

The project site is located near Heukseok Station on Subway Line 9 and Olympic-daero. In the future, the area is expected to house 20 buildings, with 1,540 residential units in apartment complexes ranging from seven basement levels to 25 above-ground floors, along with various community and welfare facilities.

The complex will be developed to harmonize with the surrounding landscape by improving the facade design of the buildings, focusing on the main entrance. Additionally, two previously planned small daycare centers will be merged into a single, larger facility to expand its capacity.

Community facilities for the neighborhood will reflect residents' opinions, with the inclusion of an observatory and lounge spanning two buildings. This approach aims to enhance residential satisfaction and foster connections within the local community.

To maximize usability, community facilities will be distributed across both buildings, and a new connecting passageway will be created to enable quick evacuation in the event of a disaster. The passageway will be open and easily accessible to everyone via dedicated elevators and stairs. The city has instructed that the structural stability of the connecting passageway be ensured during the integrated review process.

Choi Jinseok, Director of Housing at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, stated, "With the introduction of spaces that reflect the unique characteristics of the Heukseok-dong area, we expect to see revitalization in the region. We will actively support the project not only to ensure profitability but also to create a residential complex with enhanced public value, thereby improving residents' lives and promoting balanced regional development."
