Banpo Mido 1st Apartments in Seocho-gu, Seoul, 39 years after its completion, is being reborn as a residential complex with 1,743 households.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 19th that the 12th Maintenance Project Integrated Deliberation Committee on the 18th of this month conditionally passed an integrated deliberation plan in seven areas: architecture, landscape, education, transportation, disaster, environment, and park for the 'Banpo Mido 1st Apartment Reconstruction Project' in the area of 60-4 Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu.
According to this integrated deliberation, a housing complex with 9 apartment buildings, up to 49 floors, and 1,743 households will be built.
The target site is on the south side of the Seoul Express Bus Terminal and the Express Bus Terminal Station on subway lines 3, 7, and 9, and on the east side of Seoripul Park and Seoul St. Mary's Hospital of the Catholic University of Korea.
We plan to create two public pedestrian passageways connected to the entrance to the Seoripul Park trail on the north side of the complex and install an elevator.
Open community facilities for residents, such as a small library, senior center, and resident lounges, will be created along the public pedestrian passageway.
A daycare center and neighborhood living facilities are scheduled to be built on Gomurae-ro 9-gil, to the east of the site.
At this Integrated Deliberation Committee, an integrated deliberation plan in 7 areas including architecture, landscape, transportation, education, environment, disaster, and park for the 'Urban Maintenance Redevelopment Project in Area 1 in front of Maintenance Window' in the area of 40-641, Hangang-ro 3-ga, Yongsan-gu, was also conditionally passed.
The target site of this project is near Yongsan Station and Shinyongsan Station, adjacent to the Yongsan International Business District urban development project area.
The site, which is currently dense with old low-rise buildings, will be home to 706 apartment complexes (including 114 rental units) with a maximum of 24 floors and 624 officetels, following this deliberation. Sales facilities will be placed on the lower 1st and 2nd floors.
In addition, reflecting the metropolitan traffic improvement measures of the Yongsan International Business District urban development project, the width of Hangang-daero 21-gil will be widened to 45-50m, and public open space and a cultural park will be placed.
Inside the complex, considering the continuity of the existing urban structure, a public pedestrian passageway was installed and a public open space was planned to connect with the pedestrian flow line.
An integrated review in five areas of architecture, landscape, transportation, education, and disaster for the 'Seongsu 1 Housing Reconstruction Project' in the area of 656-1267 Seongsu-dong 1-ga, Seongdong-gu was also conditionally approved.
The Seongsu-dong 1-ga area, which was designated as a maintenance area in 2008, is an old and low-rise residential area that is in urgent need of maintenance. However, business was stagnant for a long time due to lack of business feasibility due to being a semi-industrial area. However, business feasibility was secured last year by relaxing the floor area ratio of semi-industrial areas and applying the legal upper floor area ratio.
With the passage of this integrated review, the target site will become an apartment complex with 31 buildings, up to 31 floors, and 290 units (including 37 public rental units).
It was planned as an ‘open complex’ that would be open to nearby residents without installing a fence. In addition, we plan to create a communication plaza in the northwest and secure a pedestrian path in the south.
The city explained about the target site, "It is included in the 'Seongsu IT Cultural Contents Industry and Distribution Development Promotion District' and a synergy effect of local industrial development and residential development is expected."
