The city of Seoul announced on the 6th that it revised and approved the amendment to the maintenance plan for the Sadang 5 housing redevelopment maintenance area near 303 Sadang-dong during the 3rd Urban Planning Committee held on the 5th.

The Sadang 5 project site is a low-rise residential area with an area of 20,316 square meters located between Sadang-ro and the southern circular road. It was designated as a housing redevelopment maintenance area in March 2017 and received project approval in February last year.

With this change in the maintenance plan, the building height is set to increase from 12 floors to 20 floors, and the number of dwellings has increased by 20 to 530 (including 35 public rental units).

In accordance with the '2030 urban and residential environment maintenance master plan,' the current floor area ratio has been recognized and the business viability adjustment coefficient has been applied. The zoning, height, and other factors have been relaxed considering changes in the surrounding area's development conditions, and the floor area ratio has been raised from 209.25% to 249.58%.

An open space will be secured at the entrance of the complex approaching from Sadang-ro, and neighborhood living facilities will be arranged. Play and care facilities necessary for the area will also be installed around the public walking path within the complex.

The proposal for the urban planning facilities (electricity supply facilities) for the installation of the Jangwi substation underground power transmission line was also approved as originally planned at the 3rd Urban Planning Committee of Seoul.

This is a decision on underground power transmission lines for the expansion of power generation and transformation facilities in the area around 50-27 Jangwi-dong, where revitalization promotion projects are actively underway.

A Seoul city official explained that the project is being promoted to address the expected increase in electricity demand in the area, including the Daesang development project, to prepare for the increased load of electricity supply.
