According to the approved plans, a Moa Housing Complex with 871 units will be built in Sinhae 1-dong, and another with 1,851 units in Mook 2-dong. Combined, the two locations will provide more than 2,700 housing units.

Moatown is a project that systematically redevelops aging low-rise residential areas of up to 100,000 square meters into a single, integrated complex. It aims to improve the living environment in areas with insufficient infrastructure by simultaneously expanding roads, green spaces, and community facilities for residents.

The management plans for both Sinhae 1-dong and Mook 2-dong commonly include upgrades in zoning and the widening of roads. Both areas focus on improving vehicle and pedestrian environments, as well as expanding community facilities such as senior centers and daycare centers, and enhancing overall convenience for residents.

In particular, the Moatown project in Sinhae 1-dong is the first case in Jungnang-gu where the management plan was approved and notified through the "resident proposal method," which was introduced in July 2024. Previously, districts designated Moatown areas through public contests, but under the resident proposal method, residents can directly propose the project and participate in the management plan formation process.

A Jungnang-gu official stated, "Through the Moatown projects in Sinhae 1-dong and Mook 2-dong, we are systematically pursuing improvements to the living environment and expansion of basic infrastructure in aging low-rise residential areas. We will continue to support redevelopment projects that reflect local characteristics and residents' opinions so that they can proceed smoothly in the future."
