Korea Land & Housing Corporation (LH) on the 11th held a briefing for residents at KBS Arena in Gangseo District, Seoul, to swiftly push forward the "mixed-use urban public housing project near Hwagok 2-dong Community Service Center."
The briefing was arranged to raise residents' understanding and interest in the "mixed-use urban project near Hwagok 2-dong Community Service Center" and thereby speed up the project. About 1,000 people, including land owners and local government officials, attended.
The mixed-use urban project near Hwagok 2-dong Community Service Center was announced in 2022 as a ninth-round candidate site for mixed-use urban projects. At 240,000 square meters and 5,973 households, it is the largest among the candidate sites for mixed-use urban projects announced to date.
LH plans to continue holding resident meetings, starting with this briefing, to secure resident consent and complete district designation in 2026.
Jin Gyo-hun, Gangseo District chief, said, "This project systematically refurbishes an aging area and recreates it as a mixed-use space where residential, commercial, and cultural functions blend harmoniously," and added, "We will work to make it a new landmark area that will lead Gangseo District's future and a place where everyone can feel proud."
Park Hyun-geun, head of LH's Seoul Regional Headquarters, said, "As the 'mixed-use urban project near Hwagok 2-dong Community Service Center' plays an important role in expanding dwellings supply in the southwestern area of Seoul, we will do our best to push the project forward swiftly."
