The Seongsu District 3 redevelopment project has submitted an integrated review application to the Seoul city government based on its existing design plan. The union plans to expedite the project by preparing a final plan that incorporates Samsung C&T's alternative design while concurrently proceeding with the review process and contractor selection.
According to the construction industry on September 4, the Seongsu District 3 redevelopment union submitted the integrated review application to the Seongdong District Office. Once the relevant departments complete their review and discussions, the application will be forwarded to the Seoul city government for consideration.
This application follows a decision made during the 39th general assembly held on August 27. To avoid delays in the project schedule, the union initially applied for the review based on the design from Haean Comprehensive Architectural Firm.
Subsequently, the plan will be finalized to reflect Samsung C&T's alternative design. A union official stated, “We plan to proceed with the project without any disruptions according to the established procedures and principles while incorporating Samsung C&T's alternative design.”
Previously, Samsung C&T was the sole participant in two rounds of bidding for the construction contractor selection, both of which failed. In July, the union selected Samsung C&T as the preferred negotiation partner for a private contract, and last month, Samsung C&T submitted its bid proposal along with the alternative design.
The alternative design from Samsung C&T is set to be unveiled at an explanatory meeting for union members on September 5. The final decision on the contractor selection will be made through a vote by union members at a general meeting scheduled for September 19.
The integrated review process consolidates evaluations related to architecture, landscape, traffic, education, and environmental aspects of the project implementation plan. After completing the integrated review, the union plans to pursue project implementation approval.
Seongsu District 3 encompasses an area of 114,193 square meters in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and aims to redevelop the site into a complex featuring up to 72 stories, 10 buildings, and 2,213 housing units, with an estimated construction cost of approximately 1.8275 trillion won.
