The area around 675 Eungam-dong, Eunpyeong District, Seoul, will be reborn as a residential complex with 1,120 households.
The Seoul city government said on the 16th it finalized a rapid integrated plan for a housing maintenance-type redevelopment project around 675 Eungam-dong just seven months after launching it. The site is slated to be developed into a residential complex with up to 27 stories and 1,120 households.
This area is a low-rise, aging residential neighborhood formed in the 1970s. Although a maintenance project had been pursued in the past, operations of the promotion committee were halted, and the area was removed from the maintenance zone in 2017. Since then, it failed to be selected in three rounds of candidate solicitations for the rapid integrated plan due to concerns about declining project feasibility.
This time, the use district, which had been Type 2 general residential area (seven stories or lower) and Type 2 general residential area, was upgraded to Type 3 general residential area, and project feasibility was improved by applying a project feasibility adjustment coefficient.
For a safer traffic system, Gajwa-ro 6-gil will be changed from the existing one-way and time-based traffic system to two-way traffic. Acceleration and deceleration lanes will be newly installed near the entrances and exits to Gajwa-ro, along with a right-turn-only lane to Baeryeonsan-ro. Taking into account a maximum elevation difference of 26 meters, parking lots and community facilities for residents will be efficiently arranged to improve space utilization.
An children's park will be created in front of the school to ensure openness, and a Seoul-style kids café, an open community facility, will be introduced to make it an open space that communicates with the neighborhood. Considering sunlight exposure effects on the school, mid- to low-rise buildings of around 10 stories will be placed on the south adjoining section of Eungam Elementary School, and those of around 15 stories on the adjoining section of Eunpyeong Culture and Arts Information School.
