A 124-unit residential complex will be built on the site of a former passenger bus terminal in Mang-u-dong, Jungnang-gu, Seoul, while the Seonsa Hyundai apartment complex in Gangdong-gu will gain 268 units through a remodeling project.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced Wednesday that four agenda items cleared review at the 20th Architecture Committee session held Tuesday: the designation of building permit restrictions for rapid integrated planning candidates, the Mang-u-dong 360-1 shared housing project, the Seonsa Hyundai apartment remodeling project and the G Valley Special Planning Zone 5 development project in Gasan-dong.

On the former bus terminal site at 360-1 Mang-u-dong, 124 residential units will be built, 24 of which will be supplied as long-term jeonse housing — including units under the "Mirinaezip" program for newlyweds. Neighborhood living facilities and public support facilities will also be included.

The site had been used as a parking lot under a free-use agreement with Jungnang-gu from June 2012 to January 2023, but was closed after the agreement expired. The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to develop a shared housing complex there — three basement floors and 25 above-ground floors across two buildings — with completion targeted for 2030.

The Seonsa Hyundai apartment complex in Amsa-dong, Gangdong-gu will grow from 2,938 units to 3,206 units — an increase of 268 — through remodeling. The additional units are expected to be offered through general pre-sale.

Completed in 2000, the complex will be rebuilt up to 35 floors through vertical and horizontal expansion while retaining the existing structural framework. A pedestrian pathway connecting the complex to Han River Park via the Amsa interchange will also be improved.

Within the complex, community-shared facilities will be established, including a youth reading room, a children's library, a senior lifestyle center, the Amsa Family Lounge and a residents' cafe. A water playground and part of a general playground will also be opened to local residents.

In Geumcheon-gu, a mixed-use complex will be developed at G Valley Special Planning Zone 5 near 319-7 Gasan-dong, housing office facilities, officetels, neighborhood living facilities and public facilities. The site covers 15,021 square meters and will consist of four buildings ranging from five basement floors to 24 above-ground floors.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to designate about 22.8 percent of the total site as publicly accessible open space, providing a plaza, green areas and rest zones. The development will also be linked to Geumcheon-gu's G Valley Garden Factory project, connecting surrounding green spaces and pedestrian paths.

Three officetel buildings will offer compact residential units for G Valley workers, with unit types of 42 square meters and 59 square meters designed with newlyweds and two-person households in mind. A shared residents' facility spanning about 4,380 square meters will include a restaurant, fitness center, small library, book cafe, study cafe and guesthouse.

A public contribution facility of about 13,290 square meters is also planned. Under consideration are an exhibition hall and conference facilities for companies based in G Valley, as well as a vitality center for local residents.

Myeong No-jun, head of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's housing bureau, said the city plans to supply new housing on underutilized sites, increase the housing stock through remodeling of existing apartment complexes, and at the same time expand lifestyle and pedestrian spaces for local residents. "We will actively support the follow-up procedures," Myeong said.
