Redevelopment plans advance in two Gaepo-dong villa areas
Two villa-heavy areas in Gaepo-dong, Seoul, are pursuing redevelopment under the city’s rapid integrated planning scheme.
The scheme is being pursued in neighborhoods of detached homes and villas in Gangnam District.
The first area has about 62% resident support and is awaiting a Seoul city review to decide whether it can be selected as a candidate site.
A nearby third area has begun gathering resident support to apply for candidate status.
Expectations of new apartment buildings are rising, and some villas are selling for more than before.
One 41-square-metre villa was priced at 940 million won, according to the headline.
The next steps are the city’s review of the first area and the third area’s application process.
