Jungnang-gu Designates Myeonmok Station Area Redevelopment District for 2,195 Homes, Up to 40 Stories

Upzoned to a quasi-residential zone; 6,600-square-meter park to be built near the station and elementary school

An aging residential area around Myeonmok Station on Seoul Subway Line 7 will be redeveloped into a station-area residential complex of up to 40 stories with 2,195 households. Jungnang-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi), said on Nov. 2 that the maintenance plan for the Myeonmok Station Area Urban Renewal-Type Private Redevelopment Project around 542-7 Myeonmok-dong was finalized and the maintenance district designated in a Seoul Metropolitan Government notice on Oct. 29.

Following approval with revisions by the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Urban Planning Committee in April this year, the project was designated as a maintenance district after subsequent administrative procedures. The area is densely populated with homes more than 20 years old. Under the plan, 2,195 households will be built in buildings of up to 40 stories above ground, including 727 public rental homes.

The area’s zoning, which had included both Type 2 General Residential Zones (up to seven stories) and Type 3 General Residential Zones, was upgraded to a quasi-residential zone. A park of approximately 6,600 square meters will be created near Myeonmok Station and Myeondong Elementary School, and a view corridor connecting to existing streets will improve the sense of openness and pedestrian environment.

District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi said, "The Myeonmok Station area will become a residential complex representing Myeonmok-dong and provide an opportunity to raise the area's standard of housing. We will provide all necessary administrative support to ensure the redevelopment proceeds without disruption."
