[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 30th that the architectural plan for the Jamsil Jinju Apartment housing reconstruction and maintenance project in the area of 20-4 Sincheon-dong, Songpa-gu, has finally passed the review by the Architectural Committee.
Jamsil Jinju Apartment was completed in 1980 with a scale of 1,507 households. After reconstruction, it will be reborn as a complex with 3 basement floors, 35 above-ground floors, and a total of 2,678 households. Even considering the loss due to construction, the number of households will increase by 1,171.
There will be 2,326 units for union members and general sale, and 352 rental housing units. Construction is scheduled to begin in July next year and be completed in July 2024, three years later. A public pedestrian passage will be created in the center of the complex.
A Seoul city official said, "We induced the revitalization of the local community and improvement of community consciousness through a community layout plan that enables various activities and communication among local residents." He added, "We proposed a housing plan without discrimination between rental housing and sale housing residents by promoting a 'social mix' of small rental housing."
