Samsung C&T's construction division has been selected as the contractor for the remodeling project of the Han River Samsung Apartments in Mapo District, Seoul. The project is estimated to cost approximately 281 billion won.
On August 29, the Han River Samsung Apartment Remodeling Housing Association approved Samsung C&T as the final contractor during a general meeting, the company announced on August 30.
The remodeling project involves transforming the existing three-building complex, which was completed in 1997 and consists of 456 units across 28 floors, into a new structure with 482 units across 29 floors, including a new annex. The project will also enhance the facilities.
This marks the first instance of Samsung C&T remodeling an apartment complex it originally constructed in 1997, rebranding it as 'Raemian.'
The Han River Samsung remodeling site offers views of the Han River to the southwest, providing a pleasant living environment. It is conveniently located within walking distance of Mapo Station on Line 5 and has easy access to the Gangbyeonbuk-ro expressway. The site also boasts high accessibility to major business districts in Seoul, including Yeouido and Gwanghwamun.
Samsung C&T has proposed the new complex name 'Raemian Lacier Han River.' The name combines the French definite article 'La' with 'See' and 'Sight,' along with the suffix '-er,' conveying the idea of a high-end residential space facing the Han River.
The company plans to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the building's exterior by incorporating an art facade that reflects the waves of the Han River. The new buildings will feature two sky lounges and a rooftop garden to maximize the river views. Specialized floor plans, including spacious living rooms, will be implemented to take advantage of the panoramic views.
Community facilities will also be improved, with plans for a fitness center, golf lounge, healing community space, and welcome lounge, totaling approximately 1762 square meters of community amenities, or about 3.7 square meters per unit.
As demand for remodeling in aging complexes in prime locations in Seoul continues, the combination of river views and the reapplication of the original contractor's brand is intensifying competition for high-end remodeling projects.
Kim Myung-seok, Vice President of Samsung C&T's Housing Product Marketing Division, stated, “We will maximize the advantages of this exceptional location with direct views of the Han River to create the best living space. We aim to successfully execute the Han River Samsung Apartment remodeling project and provide the highest pride to the members of the association.”
