A residential community consisting of 2,000 families will be established in the Seoripul 2 area of Seocho-gu, Seoul. The administration intends to reduce the time between district approval and the commencement of building work by about two years, with hopes of holding an official ground-breaking ceremony as early as December 2028.
On the 11th, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport revealed plans to provide homes for 2,000 families within the Seoul Seoripul 2 Public Housing Area located in the Umyeon-dong district of Seocho-gu. This area spans approximately 193,259 square meters. Seoripul is among the four zones designated as Development Restriction Areas (known as Greenbelts), which were previously declared by the government in November 2024 to be opened up for housing development. This marks the initial removal of a green belt restriction in Seoul after twelve years. After the announcement of the Seoripul 1 District last February—intended for 18,000 households—the inclusion of another 2,000 units in the second district brings the overall number of available residences in the entire Seoripul region to 20,000. The Seoripul 2 District underwent a public evaluation starting from November 2024 and was approved at the meeting of the Central Urban Planning Committee earlier this year in March. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, "the Seoripul District will develop into a living space close to job sites that support high-tech sectors in the Yangjae and Gangnam regions."
The Department of Land, Transportation, and Construction set a target to reduce the period between area classification and the beginning of home building by over two years. Normally, land development initiatives require about 56 months from approval to starting construction, but the department intends to speed up future steps and conduct construction planning simultaneously with site readiness, hoping to begin construction in December 2028. Earlier, the Seoripul 1 Area managed to move forward its initial planned groundbreaking date for 2029 so that homes could be available in 2029 using actions like forming specialized groups.
Nevertheless, an issue persists because certain inhabitants of the Seoripul 2 District, such as members of Umyeon-dong Cathedral, are advocating for the protection of the cathedral along with the neighborhoods of Songdong and Sikyuchon, making up 1.8% of the area. They have filed requests with the government and municipal officials asking that the cathedral and these two areas be removed from the list of properties subject to purchase and destruction.
