Redevelopment of Seongsu Strategic District 4 Unlocked After 15 Years... Groundbreaking Set for 2031

Up to 64 Floors and 1,439 Units Along the Han River
"Increased Momentum Expected for Other Seongsu Strategic Maintenance District Projects"

The Seongsu Strategic Maintenance District 4, located in Seongsu-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, will be transformed into a high-rise complex with up to 64 floors and 1,439 residential units along the Han River. After 15 years of delays since the maintenance plan was confirmed in 2011, the project has officially entered the implementation stage through an expedited integrated planning process and consolidated review.

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government on February 27, the 3rd Integrated Maintenance Project Review Committee conducted a comprehensive review of eight areas-including architecture, landscape, transportation, education, and parks-for the Seongsu Strategic Maintenance District 4 Housing Redevelopment Project and gave a ‘conditional (reporting) approval’.

The project site is located in 219-4, Seongsu-dong 2-ga, Seongdong-gu. In this area, all four districts of the Seongsu Strategic Maintenance District had to move forward simultaneously to enable the development of infrastructure such as roads and parks, which led to prolonged delays after the maintenance plan was established in 2011. Last year, the maintenance plan was revised through an expedited integrated planning process to allow each district to proceed independently, and with this consolidated review, the project has finally entered full-scale execution. The plan is to accelerate the processes for project implementation approval and management and disposal plan approval, with groundbreaking targeted for 2031.

According to the plan, the site will accommodate a residential complex consisting of 10 buildings ranging from 6 basement floors to 64 above-ground floors, totaling 1,439 units (including 267 public housing units). Public facilities such as a government office and parks will also be created through public contributions. The complex will feature an open layout along the Han River with a 10- to 40-meter-wide view corridor, enhancing the sense of openness. A linear park will connect Seongsu Station to the Han River, aiming to create a residential environment that harmonizes culture and nature.

Inside the complex, an open community street will be established in connection with the existing Seongdeokjeong-gil street system, and shared facilities such as childcare centers and small libraries will be positioned around a central public pedestrian pathway.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government has made it a condition that supplementary plans for the main building forms must be developed to strengthen structural safety in line with the construction of these high-rise apartments.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government stated, “Starting with the approval of the consolidated review for Seongsu Strategic Maintenance District 4, we expect increased momentum for other projects in the Seongsu Strategic Maintenance District. We will actively support the remaining administrative procedures to proceed swiftly so that housing supply can continue without delay.”
