The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on November 11 that four agenda items had passed review at the 20th Building Committee meeting: ▲ designation of candidate sites for the Rapid Integrated Planning program as areas where building permits will be restricted; ▲ the Sangsaeng Housing development project at 360-1, Mangu-dong; ▲ the Seonsa Hyundai Apartment remodeling project; and ▲ the Gasan-dong G Valley Special Planning District 5 development project.

The former passenger bus terminal site at 360-1, Mangu-dong, Jungnang-gu, is expected to be transformed into a residential complex with 124 apartment units. Of these, 24 units will be supplied as long-term rental housing, including Mirinae Houses for newlyweds. The project will comprise two buildings, with three basement levels and 25 floors above ground.

The Seonsa Hyundai Apartment complex in Amsa-dong, Gangdong-gu, will increase from 2,938 to 3,206 units through remodeling, adding 268 units. The additional units will be offered for general sale. Completed in 2000, the complex will retain the structural frames of its existing buildings while undergoing vertical and horizontal extensions to reach a maximum of 35 floors.

The “Road to the Han River” route from the complex, through the Amsa Interchange, to the Han River Park will also be improved. Nearby parks will be renovated, and open-style fences and pedestrian areas will be created so that residents of the complex and the surrounding area can safely and conveniently access nearby green spaces, including Amsa Ecological Park and Gwangnaru Hangang Park.

A range of community facilities will be built within the complex, including a study room for teenagers, a children's library, a senior life center, an Amsa family lounge, and a residents' cafe.

A large site in the Gasan Digital Complex will be developed into a mixed-use facility combining offices, officetels, daily convenience amenities, and green spaces. The project will cover a 15,021-square-meter site around 319-7, Gasan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, and comprise four buildings with five basement levels and 24 floors above ground. About 22.8% of the site will be set aside as publicly accessible open space. In coordination with Geumcheon-gu's G Valley Garden Factory project, the development will add much-needed spaces for rest within the industrial complex.

The three officetel buildings will offer a range of unit sizes, including small living spaces for G Valley workers and 42- and 59-square-meter units designed with newlywed couples and two-person households in mind. A residents' communal facility of approximately 4,380 square meters will include a restaurant, fitness center, and small library.

In addition, approximately 13,290 square meters of facilities for public contribution are planned. The project is considering exhibition and meeting facilities where companies based in G Valley can network and conduct business, as well as a community vitality center for local residents.

Myeong Nojun, head of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Housing Office, said, “Through these projects, we plan to supply new housing on underutilized sites and increase the number of homes through the remodeling of existing apartment buildings, while also expanding everyday amenities and pedestrian spaces for local residents. We will actively support the subsequent procedures to ensure the smooth delivery of housing and the creation of community spaces that meet local needs.”
