On the 16th, Seoul City announced that the redevelopment project in the vicinity of 314-14 Singil-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, which has been stagnant for over a decade due to the partial lifting of the Singil Redevelopment Promotion District, has been confirmed as a fast-track integrated planning area.
The area in question is noted for having significant differences in residential environment depending on the development status of the Singil Redevelopment Promotion District.
In the case of the southern side of Gamasan-ro, where the redevelopment promotion project has been completed, the improvement of old residential areas and expansion of infrastructure, such as roads, have greatly enhanced living conditions.
On the other hand, the northern side of Gamasan-ro, including the subject area, has experienced delays in redevelopment after the lifting of the redevelopment promotion district, resulting in disparities in the residential environment.
The subject area has 93% of its buildings categorized as old (over 20 years), and the ratio of semi-basements exceeds half, reaching 52%, indicating a high necessity for redevelopment.
The area in question is adjacent to the Dorim Intersection Station on the Shin Ansan Line (scheduled to open in 2026), which is expected to enhance the regional transportation network. Additionally, significant changes in the environment are anticipated due to numerous redevelopment initiatives, including urban public housing complex projects and public redevelopment in the area.
Seoul City expressed expectations that the completion of the Singil Redevelopment Promotion project (southern side), the opening of the Shin Ansan Line (scheduled for 2026), and various development movements in the area (northern side) will lead to widespread changes.
Together with the subject area, there are multiple development activities around the subject area, including the promotion of the Singil 15 urban public housing complex project on the eastern side of the redeveloped area, public redevelopment of Dorim 1 on the northern side of Dorim-ro, and the redevelopment project in Changmi Village.
Seoul City has focused on these regional conditions and changes, preparing planning proposals aimed at improving the living environment of the stagnant northern side of Gamasan-ro and creating complexes that energize the area. To realize this, the plan includes ▲ establishment of pedestrian pathways that ensure safe and convenient consolidation ▲ provision of region-specific living convenience spaces ▲ creation of open landscapes that harmonize with the surroundings ▲ application of flexible urban planning and various realization strategies.
First, while ensuring that existing pedestrian flows, such as school routes, are not interrupted, pedestrian convenience and safety will be significantly improved. A public pedestrian corridor will be arranged within the complex to connect the low-rise residential area on the west side of the subject area with Dorim Elementary School on the east side, ensuring a safe and convenient commuting route without disrupting existing pedestrian flow.
Second, customized living convenience spaces reflecting the characteristics of the street will be provided. Facilities related to children's care, such as educational communities, will be prioritized near the school. Placement of neighborhood living facilities along the Dosin-ro considering the future formation of a station area, and arrangement of community facilities linked to the main pedestrian flow within the complex will also enhance the convenience of residents' lives. Additionally, local customized public facilities, including public parks in response to future public service demands, will be expanded.
The national and publicly-owned land within the subject area will be utilized to realign essential infrastructure, such as roads. Some existing national and publicly-owned land will be reconfigured into public parks, and its use as a land reserve for newlywed couples will be considered, ensuring that flexible adjustments can be made in response to future public facility demands.
Third, considering the sunlight effects on Dorim Elementary School (eastern side) and the construction of the new Dorim Intersection Station (western side), a diverse skyline of 'high in the west, low in the east' will be created. Furthermore, securing a landscape axis oriented east-west linked to pedestrian pathways will create an open urban landscape within the complex and for the surrounding area.
Taking into account the educational environment of Dorim Elementary School and the low-rise residential area on the western side, low- to mid-rise units will be arranged along the street. Additionally, a tent-shaped skyline gradually rising toward the center of the complex and main units up to 38 stories high will be placed.
Finally, a tailored urban plan applying upward designation of land use and a flexible height plan with a maximum of 38 stories will be implemented, along with active introduction of project support measures such as the business viability correction coefficient of the 'Basic Plan for Urban and Residential Environment Renewal in Seoul City 2030.'
Various measures will be implemented to enhance the feasibility of the project, including a two-step upward designation of land use (Type 2 (7 stories), Type 2 residential → Type 3 residential) and adjustment of the business viability correction coefficient (1.52) and increased standard floor area ratio by 20%.
