Hansol Village Complexes 1, 2 and 3 in Jeongja-dong, Bundang, have cleared a key hurdle toward designation as a special redevelopment zone. Seongnam said it accepted a special redevelopment plan submitted by residents, a step expected to speed up the project.
Seongnam recently notified the project that it had accepted the special redevelopment plan for the Bundang Hansol 1-2-3 rebuilding, according to redevelopment industry sources on the 2nd. The decision came about a month after the main plan was filed on Sept. 1. Such notification is the procedure under the special act on the redevelopment and support of aging planned cities, through which the designating authority informs applicants whether it accepts a proposed special redevelopment plan.
The Hansol 1-2-3 complexes are pursuing a plan to build 18 residential buildings of up to 37 stories on a site of about 157,124 square meters around 110 Jeongja-dong in Bundang. If the project proceeds as planned, the number of units will rise to 3,447 from the current 1,872, an increase of 1,575.
Korea Land Trust, which signed a business agreement with the Hansol 1-2-3 complexes, submitted the special redevelopment plan to Seongnam in July through the resident proposal route, together with the rebuilding preparatory committee. It later filed the main plan formally, reflecting the city's advisory opinions and consultations.
When the plan was submitted in July, the consent rate among residents, including commercial unit owners, stood at 93.1%, far above the 50% required for a resident proposal. The complexes had also secured a consent rate of about 94% during last year's first round of applications for pilot districts.
The plan also includes a green network linking the complexes with surrounding green space. It calls for securing pedestrian routes connecting Bulgoksan, Tancheon and Bundang Central Park, and for placing open community facilities along pedestrian-only roads inside the complexes so that nearby residents can use them as well.
Seongnam is now holding a public inspection and notice period following the acceptance. The city plans to make a final decision on the second round of special redevelopment zone designations in December, after steps including hearing opinions from the city council.
Separately, Seongnam on Sept. 29 selected five districts — Imaechon 1, Sibeom Complex 1, Park Town, Pureun Village and Hansol Village 2 — totaling 13,429 units as candidates for the second round of special redevelopment zone designations, following an evaluation by a selection committee. That is 1,429 units more than the 12,000 units originally slated for redevelopment this year.
