11 Sites in Seoul, Totaling 18,000 Housing Units

The government has designated 11 locations in Seoul, including Gangseo-gu and Seongbuk-gu, as new candidate sites for the Urban Public Housing Complex Project. Through future urban complex projects, it is expected that an additional 18,000 housing units will be supplied in Seoul.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on September 30 that it has selected 11 new candidate sites out of 44 resident-proposed project sites over a two-month period since last March.

The selected sites are as follows: the east side of Achasan Station in Gwangjin-gu; near Seongdong Elementary School in Gwangjin-gu; the south side of Oryu-dong Station in Guro-gu; the east side of Isu Station in Seocho-gu; the north side of Sungshin Women's University Station in Seongbuk-gu; the south side of Yeomchang Station in Yangcheon-gu; the north side of Hyochang Park Station in Yongsan-gu; the east side of Hwagok Station in Gangseo-gu; near Mangwon Sports Park in Mapo-gu; the west side of Baekryeonsan in Eunpyeong-gu; and near Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, totaling 11 locations. By type, there are six station area types and five low-rise residential area types.

Among the candidate sites, this is the first time locations have been designated in the Gangnam area, including Seocho-gu and Songpa-gu. The candidate site on the east side of Isu Station in Seocho-gu stands out for its transportation infrastructure, as it is close to Isu Station, which offers transfer service between Line 4 and Line 7. In Songpa-gu, the area near Olympic Park was included.

In addition, sites with favorable residential conditions have been designated as candidates. The candidate site on the north side of Hyochang Park Station in Yongsan-gu is adjacent to Hyochang Park Station, which provides transfer connections between Line 6 and the Gyeongui–Jungang Line. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport expects that around 4,000 housing units can be supplied here in the future. The candidate site near Mangwon Sports Park in Mapo-gu is within a 10-minute walk of Mangwon Hangang Park and is also close to Gangbyeonbuk-ro.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to promote the rapid supply of housing through the urban complex project. Currently, projects are underway at 47 locations, with the Jemulpo Station Complex District in Incheon scheduled to break ground later this year.

Jung Woojin, Head of the Housing Supply Promotion Headquarters, emphasized, "The urban complex project is a key redevelopment tool that can quickly meet housing demand in the urban core," adding, "As we promised to expand urban complex projects through the August 13 measures, we will not stop at selecting candidate sites but will fully support subsequent procedures, such as district designation and project plan approval, to ensure they proceed without delay."
