The target site covers an area of 17,716㎡ (15,135㎡ for multi-family housing lots) and is located within 350 meters of Samyang Sageori Station on the Ui-Sinseol Line, making it a transit-oriented location. The area had poor residential conditions, with 95% of buildings being old or substandard and 57% of buildings over 30 years old.

With this designation as a maintenance zone, a total of 661 households (including 239 public rental housing units) will be constructed in the area. Among them, 190 units will be supplied as transit-oriented long-term lease housing.

On the west side of the site along Samyang-ro, retail and neighborhood living facilities will be arranged to activate the street. A small park-style public space will be created to secure open space, and a senior welfare center (with a total floor area of 657㎡) will be newly built within the complex to strengthen senior welfare and local community functions.

The width of Samyang-ro 46-gil on the south side of the complex will be expanded from the existing 6 meters to 9 meters to improve traffic conditions, and a sidewalk-type front public space (3 to 4 meters wide) will be created along the road at the boundary of the zone to enhance the pedestrian environment.

A Seoul city official stated, “With the establishment of the redevelopment plan and designation of the maintenance zone for the Samyang Sageori transit-oriented long-term lease housing redevelopment project, we will improve the residential environment considering local characteristics and supply high-quality long-term lease housing. Through this, we aim to contribute to the stability of housing for ordinary citizens.”
