Bongcheon District 14 in Gwanak District, Seoul, will be reborn through redevelopment as a complex with up to 27 stories and 1,571 households.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government said on the 21st that the 8th Urban Planning Committee, held on the 20th, approved as originally drafted the "Change to the redevelopment plan for Bongcheon District 14 in Gwanak District and designation of the maintenance zone and landscape review."

Bongcheon District 14 is an old low-rise residential area around 4-51 Bongcheon-dong. After being designated a planned maintenance zone in 2008, the area went through a maintenance zone designation notice in 2014 and a change to the maintenance zone in 2022, and received approval for the project implementation plan last year. With a floor area ratio of up to 299.99%, it will be reborn as a multi-family housing complex with up to 29 stories and 1,571 households. Of these, 236 households will be supplied as public housing.

In the Myeonmok-dong area within the Sagajeong Station sphere in Jungnang District, a long-term jeonse housing complex will be built. In three plots (54,437.60 square meters) within the maintenance zone around 571-2 Myeonmok-dong, a total of 2,037 households in 16 buildings of underground four floors to aboveground 40 floors will be supplied, with 567 households built as long-term jeonse housing and 137 households as redevelopment rental housing.

The long-term jeonse housing maintenance zone around Gwangheungchang Station in Sinsu-dong, Mapo District, will be reborn as an apartment complex with up to 35 stories and 640 households. Of these, 156 households will be supplied as long-term jeonse housing, and half will be used as "Mirinae Home" units for newlyweds.

In Namyeong-dong Zone 4-1 around 17-1 Namyeong-dong, Yongsan District, redevelopment will add 190 multi-family housing units and about 14,000 square meters of office and neighborhood living facilities. In return for public contributions, the floor area ratio was relaxed to as high as 662%, and the land-use zone was upgraded from a Category 2 general residential area to a general commercial area.

The city said it expects the Namyeong-dong area to be reorganized into a key gateway connecting Seoul Station and Yongsan Station and a new mixed-use core space.
