Eight residential buildings up to 33 stories to rise on 36,270-square-meter site in Jeongneung-dong; groundbreaking targeted for 2029, completion for 2032
Seoul's Seongbuk-gu approved the implementation plan for the Gireum Zone 5 housing redevelopment project in Jeongneung-dong on Thursday, the district said.
The approval brings every zone within the Gireum Redevelopment Promotion District to the implementation-plan stage. With Zone 5 now cleared — following last year's approval of the Gireum Market redevelopment — the Gireum New Town project, which has been in the works for more than two decades, is entering its final stretch.
The Zone 5 project calls for 754 residential units across eight buildings ranging from six below-ground floors to 33 above-ground floors on a 36,270-square-meter site. Supporting amenities and infrastructure, including roads and parks, will also be built.
The plan also includes expanded public facilities — a community welfare center and a women's center — to improve the residential environment and everyday convenience for Jeongneung-dong residents.
The redevelopment association will next proceed with member pre-sale applications and a management and disposal plan approval. After relocation and demolition, the project aims to break ground in 2029 and complete construction in 2032.
Seongbuk-gu District Mayor Lee Seung-ro said the approval puts all zones in the Gireum Redevelopment Promotion District firmly on track. "We will focus our administrative efforts on ensuring the remaining procedures move forward transparently and swiftly, so that residents can enjoy a comfortable living environment as soon as possible," Lee said.
