Aged Residential Area at Opaesan in Gangbuk to Be Reborn as a Large-Scale Complex with 7,551 Households Near Green Spaces

The old residential area located at the foot of Opaesan Mountain near Mia Station on Seoul Subway Line 4 will be reborn as a large-scale complex with 7,500 households.

On March 5, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it had held an Urban Planning Committee meeting and approved with amendments the decision on the Housing Maintenance-type Redevelopment Plan and designation of the maintenance zone for the areas of 258 Mia-dong and 148 Beon-dong in Gangbuk-gu.

This redevelopment plan upgraded the zoning from Type 1 to Type 2, considering that the area had previously been excluded from development due to lack of business feasibility. By adjusting the zoning, higher-density development becomes possible, which is advantageous from a business perspective. Building height regulations were also applied flexibly to establish an urban plan tailored to the local area.

At 258 Mia-dong, a maximum of 4,231 apartment units (including 654 rental units) will be constructed in buildings up to 25 stories high. At 148 Beon-dong, up to 3,320 apartment units (including 446 rental units) will be built in towers up to 29 stories high.

The existing park, which had low utilization, was incorporated into the site, expanding the overall development area. The existing road system, which posed a high risk of traffic accidents due to steep slopes and irregular structures, has been reorganized. The construction of a new road on the southeastern side of Mia-dong will further improve traffic flow.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government stated, "We will provide ongoing administrative support in the future procedures so that residents can enjoy a high-quality living environment in a residential complex with convenient transportation, pedestrian access, and green spaces."
