The Olympic Family Town apartment complex in Songpa District, Seoul, will be reborn as a mega complex with a total of 6,787 households. Along with the Asian Athletes' Village and the Olympic Media Village, it is called the "big three of Olympic reconstruction."
The Seoul Metropolitan Government said on the 12th that it held the 5th subcommittee on delegated authority of the Urban Planning Committee on the 10th and conditionally approved with revisions the "designation of the maintenance zone and decision on the maintenance plan and landscape review (draft) for the Songpa Olympic Family Town reconstruction project."
This maintenance project was also reviewed in Nov. last year but was put on hold to reexamine the appropriateness of the layout plan for building placement, public facilities, parks, and community facilities, as well as the traffic plan, and it was approved this time after establishing a new maintenance plan.
Completed in 1988, the Olympic Family Town apartment complex is a residential community of 4,494 households close to Garak Market Station and Munjeong Station. It also borders Songpa-daero, Jungdae-ro, and Dongnam-ro, offering excellent accessibility, and is near the Tancheon stream.
With the expedited planning advisory method, a maintenance plan has been established to supply multifamily housing with a floor area ratio of up to 300% and a maximum height of 26 stories. Buildings closer to Tancheon will be limited to 21 stories or fewer. The aim is to reduce visual bulk and have heights rise naturally toward the central and northern parts of the complex.
Near Garak Market Station, social welfare facilities, public sports facilities, and public support facilities will be placed, and the Munjeong 2-dong community service center currently on Jungdae-ro will be relocated for user convenience. A new public pedestrian passage will also be created between the Munjeong Legal Complex and Gawon Elementary School.
