Jangmi phases 1, 2, and 3 apartments in Songpa District, Seoul, will be rebuilt into a large complex of up to 49 stories with 5,105 households.
The Seoul city government said on the 20th that it held the fourth urban planning committee meeting on the 19th and approved with amendments the decision plan for the Jangmi phases 1, 2, and 3 apartment reconstruction maintenance plan and the landscape review plan.
According to the maintenance plan, the site will have a floor area ratio of 300% or less and up to 49 stories, with 5,105 households to be built. Of these, 551 households will be public housing.
Public pedestrian passages consolidating three parks around the complex with the Han River and Jamsilnaru Station will also be created. Around Jamsilnaru Station, a neighborhood service center and a children's library will be built, and along Songpa-daero, facilities supporting community and professional sports projects will be placed. Inside the complex, a senior center, a daycare center, a small library, and a community care center will be installed.
The complicated nearby traffic system will also be improved. Hangaram-ro along the Han River, which is cut off after the south end of Jamsil Bridge from Jamsil Sports Complex, will be refurbished, and the roundabouts around Jamsilnaru Station will be removed.
At the meeting the previous day, the city also approved with amendments the reconstruction maintenance plans for the Samik Apartments and the Eunha Apartments in Yeouido. The two apartment complexes will be reborn as a mixed residential complex with 1,302 households. Samik Apartments will be up to 56 stories with 630 households, and Eunha Apartments will be 49 stories with 672 households.
The zoning will be upgraded from a type 3 general residential area to a general commercial area. Under the maintenance plan, a 3,000-square-meter "three-dimensional park" will be created. Private parties will retain land ownership, build an underground parking lot in the lower level, and the public will secure the ground level as green space. The "Regulatory Abolition Plan No. 6" was applied with the aim of securing green space in the city center while maintaining project feasibility.
An "active senior center" for a vibrant old age will be established at Samik Apartments, and a "maternal health promotion center" for infants, young children, and pregnant women will be set up at Eunha Apartments. Public dormitories for one-person households, including young people, will also be created in both complexes. Samik will have 126 rooms, and Eunha will have 135 rooms.
The city plans to finalize the architectural plans through integrated deliberations going forward.
The area around 699 Ahyeon-dong, known as a filming location for the movie "Parasite," will also be transformed into a residential complex of up to 35 stories with 3,476 households, including 696 rental units. At the meeting the previous day, the "decision on the maintenance plan for the Ahyeon District 1 housing maintenance-type public redevelopment project and designation of the maintenance area" was approved with amendments.
Ahyeon District 1 is a sloped area with a height difference of up to 59 meters, and there had been many demands to improve the residential environment, but the project was delayed because many became subject to cash settlements due to fragmented equity shares.
To resolve the cash settlement issue that had been a barrier to the project, the city will supply "minimum-size dwellings for sale" (minimum housing standard 14 square meters).
Co-owners with only small equity shares will also be able to qualify to move into minimum-size dwellings, significantly reducing the number of people subject to settlement and securing momentum for the project. In addition, a business feasibility correction coefficient was applied to supplement feasibility.
Under the maintenance plan, a cultural park will be created along Sinchon-ro, and a children's park will be newly established adjacent to the existing Malli Water Distribution Park.
