DL E&C has opened a promotional center for the ACRO Seongsu redevelopment project in the Seongsu 2 District of Seoul, aiming to secure construction rights. Ahead of the assembly meeting on the 21st to select a construction company, the firm highlighted specialized designs that emphasize views of the Han River and proposed financial support conditions.
On November 10, DL E&C announced the opening of the official promotional center for ACRO Seongsu near Apgujeong Station in Gangnam, Seoul. The center provides members with explanations of the overall project, along with video and virtual reality experiences, as well as models and view simulations.
The Seongsu 2 District redevelopment project will consist of nine buildings with a total of 2,350 housing units, rising from six underground floors to a maximum of 62 above ground. The total construction cost is estimated at 2.1 trillion won, and the assembly is set to hold a meeting on the 21st to select the construction company.
DL E&C plans to apply its high-end residential brand, ACRO, to this project, proposing designs that enhance views of the Han River. The layout of the main buildings has been adjusted to secure view corridors and high-rise pilotis, with plans for the number of units classified as 'S-grade Han River view' to be 110% of the total member units.
The exterior design of the complex will involve the global architectural design group Arcadis, featuring a sky bridge connecting the buildings and a curved facade. The structural design for the high-rise buildings will be handled by the British engineering firm ARUP.
Landscape design will be managed by Martha Schwartz Partners (MSP), which plans to create a central plaza called 'Keystone Court,' a sunken garden named 'Secret Valley,' themed gardens, and walking paths. The lighting design will be provided by the German firm Licht Kunst Licht.
Community facilities will be designed by the studio Yabu Pushelberg, which plans to include an indoor infinity pool, wellness facilities, and a cinema. The top floor will feature dining spaces and a library that take advantage of the Han River views, along with pool villas.
The residential units will include penthouses with areas of 400 square meters and 600 square meters, as well as terrace homes and panoramic layouts, with an emphasis on larger housing units.
Proposed project conditions include: full application of CD rates for the assembly's project costs, 100% loan-to-value ratio for relocation costs, a maximum four-year deferral for member contributions after moving in, a 40 billion won burden on the construction company for construction cost inflation, fixed construction costs without price fluctuations after actual construction begins, and 100% compensation for unsold units.
A DL E&C representative stated, "We will complete a landmark that leads future value in the heart of Seongsu by combining ACRO's design capabilities and residential philosophy."
Meanwhile, the selection of construction companies for Seongsu Strategic Maintenance Districts 1 to 4 is nearing completion. Previously, Seongsu District 1 selected GS Engineering & Construction as its contractor in April and is preparing for integrated review, while Seongsu District 3 chose Samsung C&T in September. Seongsu District 4 selected Lotte Engineering & Construction in July and is reportedly preparing for project approval.
