On the 25th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that it conditionally approved two project plans for the redevelopment of 'Hagye 5-danji and Sanggye Madeul-danji in Nowon-gu,' the leading sites for Seoul's aged rental housing redevelopment project, at the 7th Public Housing Integrated Deliberation Committee meeting.

Hagye 5-danji and Sanggye Madeul-danji are aged public rental complexes completed in 1989, marking their 36th year of occupancy this year. They have been inconvenient for elderly and disabled residents due to the absence of elevators. Through the aged rental housing redevelopment project, the old public rental housing will be demolished and replaced with a supply exceeding the existing number of households. The revision of the 'Act on Supporting the Improvement of Quality of Life for Long-term Public Rental Housing Tenants' in 2021 provided momentum for the redevelopment project. A total of 1,699 households will be supplied by combining the two complexes, and some of the 889 additional households compared to the existing number will be supplied as Long-term Jeonse Housing 2.

Located in the station area of Hagye Station on Line 7, Hagye 5-danji will be redeveloped into 6 buildings, ranging from 4 basement floors to 47 above-ground floors, totaling 1,336 households. Currently, it consists of 13 buildings with 5 floors each, totaling 640 households with an exclusive area of 33㎡. After redevelopment, the housing sizes will be diversified from 36㎡ to 84㎡ to accommodate up to three generations living together.

Hagye 5-danji was selected as a pilot complex applying Seoul's rental housing innovation plan in 2022, expanding unit sizes and creating a comfortable living space. Previously, the units were a single size of 33㎡, but after redevelopment, the proportion of medium-sized units (59㎡ or larger), which are more preferred, will increase, and resident-centered layouts will be applied based on the number and composition of household members. High-quality interior materials will be used for finishes such as flooring, wallpaper, and lighting, reflecting the latest trends.

Facilities such as a panoramic caf?, healing care center, and fitness center will also be established. The facilities installed in each building will be connected by a skywalk. Social welfare facilities, a dementia relief center, and a communal childcare room will be installed as convenient living facilities accessible not only to residents but also to nearby community members, and these will be operated by Nowon-gu.

Additionally, Hagye 5-danji will be designated as a special architectural zone to secure open sightlines, and a public pedestrian passage will be created from the public open space on the north side of the complex through the central courtyard, Junghyeon Children's Park, and Gyeongchun Forest Park.

Sanggye Madeul-danji is a low-rise aged apartment complex adjacent to welfare facilities such as the Disabled Social Welfare Center, Seoul Energy Corporation, and the Education and Technology Institute. The complex, currently consisting of three 5-story buildings with 170 households, will be redeveloped into three buildings ranging from 2 basement floors to 19 above-ground floors, totaling 363 households. It will be transformed into a rental housing complex equipped with facilities such as an apartment, a small library, a fitness center, and a community caf?.

Sanggye Madeul-danji will create green and resting spaces on the 7th floor of the apartments to provide views of Jungnangcheon Stream and Choansan Mountain. The first floor will be designed as a 'Park for Everyone,' featuring abundant street greenery and facilities such as a park and daycare center that residents and nearby community members can use together.

Both complexes are scheduled to receive housing construction project plan approval in December, begin construction in the second half of 2025, and complete and open for occupancy in the second half of 2029.

Han Byung-yong, Director of the Seoul Housing Office, said, "Through the redevelopment of aging public rental housing, we will present a new vision for rental housing complexes and do our best to supply high-quality housing by providing a high-quality residential environment and convenience facilities that everyone wants to live in."
