Samsung C&T's construction division said on the 26th it proposed a "custom master plan for integrated reconstruction" to ensure the successful execution of the integrated reconstruction of Shinbanpo 19th and 25th complexes.
The Shinbanpo 19th and 25th reconstruction is a project to integrate the area around 61-1 Jamwon-dong into a single complex. When completed, the complex will have seven buildings with four basement levels to 49 above-ground floors and 614 households.
An integrated reconstruction project must consider each complex's location, conditions, and existing maintenance plans together. Accordingly, Samsung C&T closely analyzed the conditions of four complexes—Shinbanpo 19th, Shinbanpo 25th, Hanshin Jinil Villat, and Jamwon CJ Village—to enhance business feasibility and present a balanced design plan for the entire complex.
Samsung C&T applied the same floor area ratio and sales area ratio to the two main pillars, the 19th and the 25th, and kept the ratio of rental units exactly as in the association's original design, maintaining fairness in the integrated reconstruction while improving business feasibility.
Through optimal design, including layout adjustments reflecting association members' preferences, it raised both sides' floor area ratios equally to 299.99% and thereby increased the sales area by 64 square meters (19.4 pyeong) each. For example, assuming the general pre-sale price is about 1 billion won per pyeong, additional sales revenue of about 3.9 billion won is expected.
In contrast, the rental units were kept exactly the same as in the association's original design—34 units in the 19th and 41 units in the 25th—blocking risk factors that could cause project delays, such as potential disputes between complexes.
The placement plan also reflects a differentiation strategy. Samsung C&T reduced the seven residential buildings in the original association plan to six, allocating three buildings each to the 19th and 25th, and created a balanced complex centered on two 180-meter-tall landmark buildings located in the middle. In addition, a sky community on the top floors of the landmark residential buildings was designed to provide symbolism and a residential premium that does not lean to either side.
Samsung C&T also configured landscaping, community spaces, and movement lines with balance. In the space secured by reducing one building, it planned a large sunken plaza and a themed square measuring about 5,900.62 square meters (1,784 pyeong), and it strictly adhered to the announced maintenance plan by applying a simple movement line to the public pedestrian passage without changing the start or end points.
Instead, by adjusting the angles of the residential buildings, it increased the distance between buildings to as much as 132 meters and greatly expanded the view corridor axis, enhancing both the openness of the complex and pedestrian convenience.
The entrance to the underground parking lot was planned as an extra-wide three-lane ramp to ensure smooth vehicle movement and safety. An underground community linked to symmetrical ancillary facilities also enhances residents' convenient movement lines and overall convenience.
Im Cheol-jin, head of the dwellings sales division at Samsung C&T, said, "The integrated reconstruction of Shinbanpo 19th and 25th is not a simple physical combination, but a process of completing a complex that becomes a new symbol of Banpo," adding, "Based on a balanced master plan—the core of integrated reconstruction—we will push forward a project that has both business feasibility and symbolism."
