원본보기 아이콘On September 25, Seoul City announced that it had conditionally approved the "Yongsan District Unit Plan (Amendment) and Detailed Development Plan for Special Planning Zones 4 and 6 of the Yongsan Electronics Market District" at the 16th Urban and Architectural Joint Committee meeting.
The sites for Najin Shopping Center Buildings 10 and 11 (Special Planning Zone 4) and Building 14 (Special Planning Zone 6) are located at the Yongsan Electronics Market intersection, serving as both the gateway and a key location for the market. With the approval of these two zone plans, development plans for a total of five zones have been established over three months since June.
Under the newly approved plan, Najin Shopping Center Buildings 10 and 11 will be developed with a floor area ratio of 949%, resulting in a 22-story building with a total floor area of 44,814 square meters. Building 14 will have a floor area ratio of 909%, resulting in a 20-story building with a total floor area of 48,147 square meters. The new facilities will primarily house office spaces for emerging industries such as AI and ICT, as well as neighborhood living facilities.

Cho Namjun, Director of Urban Space at Seoul City, stated, "With the approval of this detailed development plan, the Yongsan Electronics Market area is expected to be reborn as a hub for industrial innovation, enhancing Seoul's urban competitiveness."
