Recruitment of Wycombe Abbey School, UK's Top Prestigious Private School, and Construction of Residential Complex on Current Dongjak-gu Office Site

Selection of Preferred Negotiator for Current Government Building Site... Residential Complex with 6 Basement to 40 Above-Ground Floors, Including Ice Hockey Facilities -

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Il-ha) is leveraging the locational advantages of the current government office site to transform the Noryangjin station area into a world-class landmark, thereby enhancing the value of Dongjak-gu.

The district announced on the 3rd that it has selected the 'SJ Holdings Consortium' as the preferred negotiator for the development project of the current Dongjak-gu Office site (Noryangjin-dong 47-2).

The district plans to transform the current government office site into a new growth hub with a development plan centered on a balanced living base aimed at revitalizing the local economy and improving convenience in the Noryangjin area.

The current government office site will be designed as two towers, ranging from 6 basement levels to 40 floors above ground, with a maximum height of 144 meters. It will host Wycombe Abbey School, the UK's premier private school, and include premium residential complex facilities with sports amenities such as ice hockey and swimming pools.

The upper floors of the buildings will allocate residential facilities such as residential officetels and apartments in appropriate proportions, while the lower floors will integrate educational facilities, retail spaces, and public facilities.

The two buildings will be connected by a bridge, allowing for an organic linkage between educational facilities, commercial spaces, residential areas, and public facilities.

The surrounding landscape will enhance a nature-friendly image within the urban environment by utilizing natural greenery and eco-friendly installations, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

Furthermore, the development project of the current government office site will be linked with large-scale residential complexes (9,290 households) being built in the Noryangjin area, establishing it as a future growth center driving the development of Dongjak-gu.

Earlier, the district recruited private developers to participate in this development project through a public competition held in February.

In the second half of this year, the district plans to sign a business agreement with the preferred negotiator and enter into an implementation agreement with the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) to change the settlement method for the new government office construction project.

Through this, the district plans to sell the current government office site to the private developer and complete the settlement with LH for the new government office construction project.

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, stated, “We will enhance the value of Dongjak-gu by constructing a landmark facility with various functions, including international educational facilities, on the current government office site.” He added, “We will continue to reshape the map of Dongjak-gu through urban development projects.”
