Seoul City is pushing to supply approximately 2,500 units of long-term rental housing near four subway stations, including Sookdaeipgu Station, Sinseoldong Station, Singil Station, and Saetul Station.
According to Seoul City on the 21st, the 13th Urban Planning Committee meeting held on the 20th approved the designation of maintenance areas and the decision on the maintenance plan for urban refurbishment redevelopment projects.
The target areas include 52-6 Galhwal-dong, Yongsan District, near Sookdaeipgu Station; 91 Sinseol-dong, Dongdaemun District, near Sinseoldong Station; and the vicinity of 96-24 Singil-dong, Yeongdeungpo District, near Singil Station. The long-term rental housing project at Saetul Station's area also received a modified approval for the designation of the maintenance zone and the decision on the maintenance plan.
The area of 52-6 Galhwal-dong, Yongsan District, will be designated as a maintenance zone covering an area of 36,611 square meters. A total of 870 apartment units will be built, reaching from 4 basement floors to 40 above-ground floors. Among these, 265 units will be long-term rental housing, and 59 units will be mandatory redevelopment rentals. About half of the long-term rental units will be supplied as "Miri House" for newlyweds. The maintenance plan includes the creation of a pleasant and convenient residential area that harmonizes green networks, housing, and urban functionality.
The area of 91 Sinseol-dong, Dongdaemun District, will be designated as a maintenance zone covering 17,414 square meters. 609 apartment units will be built, reaching from 4 basement floors to 38 above-ground floors (with a maximum height of 106 meters).

Seoul City is moving to establish an organic pedestrian movement system connecting the surrounding Seongbukcheon Stream and Sinseoldong Station. In addition, the city plans to revitalize the surrounding Hanbit Road and the Seongbukcheon Stream area.
The site at 96-24 Singil-dong is an old low-rise residential area covering an area of 13,497 square meters. Through this maintenance plan, 505 apartment units will be built, ranging from 3 basement floors to a maximum of 45 above-ground floors (with a maximum height of 141 meters). Among these, 154 units will be long-term rental housing, and 32 units will be mandatory redevelopment rentals.
