Seoul Housing and Urban Development Corporation (SH) said on the 27th that the Sin-gil 13 redevelopment promotion zone reconstruction project in Yeongdeungpo District received approval for its project implementation plan. With this, since the designation of the Sin-gil New Town in 2005, the long-stalled Sin-gil 13 zone project is moving into full swing, laying the groundwork to reorganize the aging residential area into a pleasant living environment.
The Sin-gil 13 zone was designated as a maintenance zone in 2007. However, the project was delayed due to land ownership issues in some complexes. SH joined as the project implementer in 2011, and after signing a joint public reconstruction implementation agreement in Dec. 2021, it has accelerated the project. With this approval of the project implementation plan, the Sin-gil 13 zone, spanning 15,123.9 square meters around 340-1 Singil-dong, Yeongdeungpo District, is planned to be developed with apartment housing and living SOC, consisting of six buildings from five floors underground to 35 floors above ground and 586 households.
As a co-implementer, SH has supported procedures for project implementation plan approval, including establishing advance planning guidelines and integrated deliberation. It plans to systematically support the entire process from "management and disposal plan approval → relocation → demolition → start of construction → completion" to advance the project stably. In particular, because the Sin-gil 13 zone is progressing the fastest among Seoul's public reconstruction sites, it will be made a model case that raises both public interest and housing quality.
Hwang Sang-ha, SH president, said, "We will normalize the drifting project based on public-sector expertise and transparency, push it forward stably, and expand the supply of dwellings," adding, "We will focus all our capabilities on transparent and swift administrative support so the project proceeds without a hitch."
