An apartment complex with 999 households will be built in the aging residential area around 101 Eungam-dong, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul.

The Seoul city government said on the 9th that it held the 13th Urban Planning Committee's delegated subcommittee on the 8th and conditionally approved the decision on the maintenance plan and the designation of the maintenance zone (proposal) and the landscape review (proposal) for the "housing-oriented redevelopment project in the area around 101 Eungam-dong."

The site has a vulnerable residential environment due to hilly terrain, narrow roads and a concentration of old houses.

Under the 2030 basic plan for urban residential environment maintenance, this maintenance plan significantly improved business feasibility by applying a floor area ratio system and a business feasibility correction coefficient. It also upgraded the existing Type 2 (seven stories or fewer) general residential zone to a Type 2 general residential zone.

Accordingly, to the baseline floor area ratio of 190% by use district, an additional relaxation (20%) was applied through the supply of small dwellings, along with a 20% incentive for allowable floor area ratio and the business feasibility correction coefficient, expanding the allowable floor area ratio to as much as 247.8%. After a review by the Urban Planning Committee, the legal cap on the floor area ratio was also set at up to 300%.

Through a street-responsive layout that considers the surrounding low-rise residential areas and mountainous topography, the plan creates a harmonious skyline and secures a view corridor toward Baengnyeonsan, enhancing the complex's openness and visual spaciousness. In addition, resident shared facilities and community spaces within the complex are arranged along the perimeter so nearby residents can easily access them.
