Nowon District Requests Maintenance Zone Designation for Sangye Hanshin 3rd Apartment Just 11 Months After Initial Proposal

First Case of Rapid Integrated Planning in the Sangye Area

Nowon District in Seoul (Mayor Seo Juno) announced on September 8 that it had requested from the Seoul Metropolitan Government on September 7 the designation of Sangye Hanshin 3rd Apartment as a reconstruction maintenance zone, as well as the approval of its maintenance plan. This is the first time in the Sangye area that a housing complex has reached the stage of requesting a maintenance designation after going through the integrated rapid planning advisory process. It has been 11 months since the initial proposal was submitted.

Seojun Oh, Mayor of Nowon District, is holding a regular meeting with officials from the Task Force for Rapid Promotion of Reconstruction and Redevelopment. Provided by Nowon District.

According to the maintenance plan, Sangye Hanshin 3rd Apartment will be reconstructed with a floor area ratio of 299.93%, up to 35 stories high and consisting of 464 units. The plan is to secure a setback space inside the complex to create a walkable street environment, and to install open community facilities such as a Group Care Center so that local residents can share the amenities.

The district explained that since the start of the project, it has supported procedures such as rapid integrated planning consultations, resident information sessions, and public inspection, by working together with the Sangye Hanshin 3rd Apartment Reconstruction Preparatory Committee (Chairman Lee Sangmin) and the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Once Sangye Hanshin 3rd Apartment passes the review by the Seoul city authorities and is officially designated and notified as a maintenance zone, the next steps will include collecting consent forms to designate a trust company.

Reconstruction is also underway at neighboring complexes. Sangye Hanshin 1st and 2nd Apartments are in the process of initiating a maintenance plan, which includes rapid integrated planning consultations, public inspections with residents, resident briefing sessions, and hearing opinions from the district assembly. The goal is to complete the urban planning committee's review in the second half of this year and have the area officially designated as a maintenance zone in the first half of next year.

Sangye Boram Apartments, which borders Sangye Hanshin 1st, 2nd, and 3rd complexes, has also recently received approval to form a reconstruction association establishment committee. When the reconstruction of these four complexes is completed, a residential district of about 6,000 units will be created. The area is backed by Suraksan Mountain and is equipped with Subway Lines 4 and 7, the planned Dongbuk Light Rail, and elementary and middle schools nearby.

Elsewhere in Nowon District, Wolgye Samho 4th Apartment, Wolgye Siyoung High-Rise (Mimi Sam), Hagye Hanshin Dongseong, and Sangye Jugong 6th Complex are also awaiting review by the Urban Planning Committee.

Mayor Seo Juno stated, "The rapid progress in requesting maintenance designation for Sangye Hanshin 3rd Apartment was made possible thanks to the strong commitment from residents and the district's prompt administrative support. Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen administrative support at each stage of the project and remove unnecessary procedures and institutional obstacles, in order to accelerate both the speed and economic viability of the reconstruction projects."
