Songpa District Accelerates 41 Redevelopment Projects... All-In on Supportive Administration

Jamsil 5th Complex Targets Relocation in 2028

Songpa District in Seoul (Mayor Seo Gangseok) announced on February 3 that it is smoothly advancing 41 urban renewal and redevelopment projects within its jurisdiction under the principle of "supportive administration."

The district office has provided administrative support over the past three years, maintaining fairness while reducing the burden on residents and enhancing the quality of the projects, recognizing that urban renewal and redevelopment are directly linked to residents' daily lives.

Since the launch of the 8th popularly elected administration, a total of 31 approval procedures have been completed: six sites finalized their maintenance plans, six received approval for the formation of promotion committees, four were approved for the establishment of associations, seven received project implementation plan approvals, five were granted management disposition plan approvals, and three were completed. In particular, Ogeum Hyundai became a prime example of expedited administration by receiving association establishment approval just 16 days after applying on January 8 this year.

Jamsil Jinju (currently Jamsil Raemian I-Park) and Jamsil Miseong·Clover (Jamsil Le-EL) apartments received completion approvals at the end of last year and are currently in the move-in phase. Apartments such as Garak Sanga 1st, Garak Plaza, Garak Samik Mansion, Garak Miryung, and Jamsil Woosung 4th, which have received management disposition plan approvals, are now preparing for relocation and demolition.

Progress had been slow at Jamsil 5th Complex, but after revising the maintenance plan and undergoing an integrated review, the project implementation plan was submitted for approval on December 24, 2025. The process is moving forward with the goal of obtaining management disposition plan approval in 2027 and completing relocation and demolition in 2028.

Three large complexes in the Jamsil area of Songpa, including Jamsil Woosung Phases 1, 2, and 3, applied for integrated review in January this year. This integrated review process, which previously took one to two years for separate reviews on architecture, landscape, education, and transportation, can now be completed at once, significantly shortening the project timeline.

Other major complexes such as Olympic Family Town and Olympic Athletes' Media Village are also accelerating their redevelopment by simultaneously designating maintenance zones and establishing associations. The Geoyeo·Macheon district, including Macheon 4th Zone, which is scheduled for demolition this year, is expected to be transformed into a new city-scale area by around 2033.

The district office analyzed that efforts to change perceptions, mediate conflicts, and shorten procedures have worked together to create synergy in speeding up the redevelopment projects.

Seo Gangseok, Mayor of Songpa District, stated, "Urban renewal and redevelopment are not just about supplying housing, but about improving residents' quality of life and the city's competitiveness. With supportive administration that considers both speed and fairness, we will make Songpa District a leading premium residential city in Seoul."
