A mixed-use facility combining business, commercial, and residential spaces will be newly established around the Anam Station area.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 25th that it had passed a revised proposal for the 'District Unit Plan Decision for 85-7 Anam-dong, Seongbuk-gu related to the Anam Station area revitalization project' during a meeting of the Urban and Architectural Joint Committee.
The project site is located in the Anam Station area of Seoul Subway Line 6, which currently has dwellings, commercial establishments, and a university hospital. Korea University and a university hospital are located there, and a food alley business district has formed in front of the university. Most buildings are in a severely deteriorated condition, leading to an evaluation that development is necessary to strengthen and revitalize the area's station functions.
The city decided to create a complex hub centered on business, leisure, and residential functions at the site. After undergoing traffic impact assessments and review and permitting procedures, construction is expected to commence in the second half of next year, aiming for completion in 2029.
The project will include an apartment building with 5 underground floors and 29 above-ground floors, comprising 138 households. Mixed-use facilities such as community living facilities and shared offices will also be built. Among the apartments, 109 households will be offered as long-term general private rental housing. On the 1st and 2nd floors, a shared office with a total floor area of 1,500 square meters will be constructed and provided as a startup support space.
On the 3rd floor, a rooftop garden will be established as an open resting space connected to the outside. The north side of the project site will ensure smooth traffic flow by connecting a dead-end road to adjacent roads, allowing for connections to Korea University Road, Anam Road, and Korea University Road 24.
A Seoul city official noted, 'This Anam Station area revitalization project will breathe new life into the living environment of Anam-dong, near Korea University.'
