The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 14th that the third small-scale housing maintenance integrated review subcommittee, held on the 13th, passed the integrated review for the "Yongsan District Wonhyo-ro 4-ga 71 area Moa Town" and two other projects.
The items approved in this review include ▲Moa Town in Seongbuk District Seokgwan-dong 334-69 and one other area ▲Moa Town in Yongsan District Wonhyo-ro 4-ga 71 area. If the projects proceed, a total of 3,490 dwellings (including 660 rental dwellings) will be supplied.
Moa Town is a redevelopment project for aging dwellings in Seoul that integrates 4 to 5 multi-family and multi-unit housing associations, each comprising 100 to 400 dwellings.
The target area for this Moa Town, Seokgwan-dong, is located near the royal tomb of King Gyeongjong of the Joseon Dynasty, an area subject to height restrictions. It has many aging buildings and narrow roads, resulting in poor living conditions; however, low project viability due to the height restrictions made redevelopment difficult.
Once the redevelopment project is completed, two apartment complexes with 1,703 dwellings and 1,183 dwellings will be established in the area.
In the Yongsan District Wonhyo-ro 4-ga area (covering 26,192 square meters), a redevelopment of 604 dwellings is being promoted. This area has a 74% ratio of aging buildings and a 24% ratio of semi-basement dwellings, making it a low-rise residential dense area. Narrow roads and lack of parking space led to its selection as a Moa Town target area in 2022.
Through the project, the road width will be expanded from the current 8 meters to 12 meters, and a public pedestrian path connecting the Yongsan Cultural Center and the community center will also be created.
