‘Garibong-dong’ in Guro-gu, Seoul, well known as a symbolic area of Korea's industrialization era, is undergoing transformation. The surrounding area, densely packed with aging multi-family houses, is set to be completely revitalized through reconstruction.


The Daeheung Yeonrip Reconstruction Association near Namguro Station in southern Guro announced that it will begin full-scale sales in August.


Daeheung Yeonrip is located in Garibong-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul, and consists of a complex of four buildings with a total of 84 units, ranging from basement level 1 to the 3rd floor. It is known as a representative aging complex with a construction year dating back 33 years.


This multi-family housing will be transformed into the ‘Namguro Station Dongil Centasia’ brand, consisting of three buildings from basement level 2 to the 7th floor, with a total of 162 units. It is expected to become the first apartment complex in Garibong-dong. The units for sale this time total 91, excluding those for association members, and feature a variety of types ranging from 33㎡ to 67㎡ in exclusive area.


The project budget is approximately 40 billion KRW, with occupancy scheduled for March 2024. Construction will be handled by Dongil Construction, which is diversifying its business into civil engineering, architecture, housing, and overseas construction projects.


This project obtained approval for the implementation of the small-scale reconstruction maintenance project of Daeheung Yeonrip near Namguro Station under the government’s ‘Special Act on the Maintenance of Vacant Houses and Small-scale Housing’ enacted in February 2018. The act aims to improve the quality of residential life by efficiently maintaining abandoned vacant houses and revitalizing small-scale housing maintenance through necessary provisions and special cases.


In the case of Daeheung Yeonrip, architectural review was passed in May last year, and demolition and relocation have been completed. The Daeheung Yeonrip side explained, “Despite numerous difficulties and hardships related to this project, the association members united as one, which allowed the project to begin.” They added, “We will make every effort until completion to ensure our apartment becomes a premium landmark apartment in Garibong-dong.”


The biggest feature of this complex is its location within walking distance of subway stations. Namguro Station on Line 7 is about a 4-minute walk away, and Gasan Digital Complex Station and Guro Digital Complex Station, transfer stations for Lines 1 and 7, can be reached within about 10 to 15 minutes on foot. This allows access to Seoul Station, Express Bus Terminal Station, and Yeouido within 20 to 30 minutes. Additionally, Siheung IC, which connects to Nambu Beltway and Siheung-daero, is nearby.


Furthermore, the complex is located near the residential areas behind Guro Digital Complex and Gasan Digital Complex, where approximately 158,000 workers are employed, making both residential and rental demand abundant. In addition, Guro Nam Elementary School and Guro Middle and High Schools are in close proximity, providing an excellent educational environment.


Guro Nam Sports Center is right next door, and convenience facilities such as E-Mart Guro Branch, Mario Outlet, Garibong Traditional Market, Gasan Rodeo Street, and Guro 3-dong Community Center are easily accessible. Medical facilities including Korea University Guro Hospital and Gangnam Sungshim Hospital are also located nearby.



Meanwhile, Choi Mija, head of the Daeheung Yeonrip Reconstruction Association, stated, “With the consent of all 84 association members, after a long-standing wish, we will begin general sales in mid-August,” and added, “We plan to showcase the Namguro Station Dongil Centasia brand at the promotional center.”
