Sanggye Boram Apartment in Nowon-gu, Seoul, which was completed 38 years ago, will be transformed into a large-scale complex with 4,483 residential units. Myeongil Woosung Apartment in Gangdong-gu is also expected to be redeveloped into a residential complex with 997 units through reconstruction.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on May 7 that it had convened the 6th Special Subcommittee on Maintenance Projects of the Urban Planning Committee and approved, with amendments, the designation of the Sanggye Boram Apartment reconstruction maintenance zone and the determination of the maintenance plan and landscape review.

This complex offers excellent access to public transportation, with Nowon Station (Lines 4 and 7), Madeul Station (Line 7), and Sanggye Station (Line 4) all within walking distance. It is also connected to major arterial roads such as the Dongbu Expressway and Dongil-ro.

Through measures to improve project profitability, including easing the permitted floor area ratio (FAR), a total of 4,483 units (including 323 public housing units) will be supplied, with an FAR of up to 300% and buildings up to 45 stories tall. This will be the largest-scale development in the Sanggye-dong area of Nowon-gu.

In particular, a social welfare facility (silver care center) will be built in a location offering views of Suraksan Mountain to the north of the complex, and additional spaces such as a daycare center, nursing rooms, and treatment rooms will be provided to enhance welfare services. To meet the increased demand for resident services resulting from the reconstruction, the Sanggye 9-dong community center will also be expanded.

At this committee meeting, the designation of the maintenance zone and the determination of the maintenance plan and landscape review for the Myeongil Woosung Apartment reconstruction project were also approved with amendments.

Myeongil Woosung Apartment is an aging multi-family housing complex that was completed in 1986. It will be transformed from its current 572 units into a new complex with a total of 997 units, including 130 public housing units. The buildings are planned to be up to 49 stories tall.

The new plan focuses on creating an east-west pedestrian axis through the center of the complex to improve student routes to Myeongwon Elementary School and enhance convenience for students. Pedestrian access will be secured to connect with Goduk Station on Subway Line 9, which is scheduled to open in 2028, thereby improving public transportation accessibility. In addition, daily pedestrian routes connecting Myeongil-ro and Godeok-ro 62-gil will be established, strengthening connectivity with the surrounding area.

A national and public daycare center will be located along the southern road of the complex, and small plazas, rest areas, and green spaces will also be created along Godeok-ro 62-gil. In particular, a pilotis design for the lower floors will be applied to provide visual openness both inside and outside the complex, and the existing roads will be widened to improve traffic conditions.

It is expected that approximately 5,900 residential units will be supplied from five complexes in the Myeongil-dong area in the future. Goduk Jugong Complex 9 and Myeongil Hanyang Apartment are soon to be designated as maintenance zones, while Goduk Hyundai Apartment and Myeongil Shindonga Apartment have already been designated as such.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government stated, "The nearby Samik Green 2nd Apartment complex (about 3,500 units) on the west side is also undergoing maintenance plan development," adding, "As the Myeongil-dong area is transformed into a large-scale residential district, a significant improvement in the residential environment and large-scale housing supply are expected."
