Transformation of Large Residential Complexes

Gwangjin District in Seoul (Mayor Kim Kyungho) is accelerating improvements to the residential environment by launching large-scale maintenance projects focused on redevelopment and reconstruction.

Currently, a total of 40 housing projects are underway, with diverse development types to expedite the process: 6 rapid integrated planning projects, 8 Moa Town projects, and 19 small-scale housing maintenance projects.

Kim Kyungho, Mayor of Gwangjin District, is giving a greeting speech at the residents' briefing session on the housing redevelopment project maintenance plan (draft) for the area of 227-147 Jayang 3-dong. Provided by Gwangjin District.

The large-scale maintenance projects are centered around the areas of Jayang-dong, Junggok-dong, and Gwangjang-dong. The Area A of Jayang 4-dong covers approximately 139,000 square meters and is planned to become a large-scale complex with up to 49 stories and 2,999 units. Following the designation as a maintenance zone, the procedures for establishing a residents' association are currently underway.

The Shinhyang Villa reconstruction project in Junggok 4-dong covers about 15,000 square meters around 18-24 Junggok-dong. By easing height restrictions, the project is being pursued as a 20-story, 339-unit complex, and preparations are ongoing for the association establishment approval.

The Geukdong Apartment in Gwangjang-dong is a reconstruction complex located along the Han River near Gwangnaru Station on Subway Line 5. In April this year, it is scheduled for designation as a maintenance zone and finalization of the maintenance plan. With a floor area ratio of 339.5%, the plan is to develop up to 49 stories and 2,049 units. All procedures for public viewing, residents' briefings, and collecting opinions have been completed.

The area around Guui 2-dong, which had previously been left out of development, has been selected as a candidate site for rapid integrated planning, and the establishment of a maintenance plan is underway, signaling that changes are spreading throughout the district.

For the Moa Town projects, step-by-step procedures such as establishing management plans are being carried out at 8 locations in the areas of Jayang-dong, Gwangjang-dong, and Guui-dong. Small-scale housing maintenance projects, including street housing maintenance, voluntary housing maintenance, and small-scale reconstruction and redevelopment, are being carried out at 19 locations, with some already in the construction phase.

Since the launch of the eighth popularly elected administration, Gwangjin District has strengthened administrative support from the early stages, including creating a dedicated department and operating residents' briefing sessions and maintenance project academies. Mayor Kim Kyungho stated, "The maintenance of aging residential areas is a key task for improving residents' quality of life," and added, "By ensuring close cooperation between residents and the administration, we will carry out the projects swiftly and stably to transform the district into a premium residential area."
