Eunma and Jamsil 5 Reconstruction Moves Ahead With 12,000 Homes
Eunma Apartment and Jamsil Jugong 5 have become central to Seoul’s reconstruction cycle. Eunma secured project approval 41 days after filing, while Jamsil 5 advanced as the first approval of the ninth elected city administration. Together, the projects cover about 12,000 homes and target construction starts in 2028.
Eunma Apartment and Jamsil Jugong 5 have finally entered the main track of reconstruction. After more than two decades of delay, the two landmark aging complexes in Seoul’s Gangnam housing belt have passed key administrative hurdles, setting about 12,000 homes on a path toward construction starts in 2028. The move is more than a local project milestone. It changes the timetable for supply, rental demand and the future residential map of southern Seoul.
Approvals Accelerate After Long Delay
Eunma received project implementation approval 41 days after submitting its application. Large reconstruction projects usually face long reviews because traffic, schools, infrastructure and cooperative procedures all converge. The speed of Eunma’s approval signals a stronger reconstruction drive under Mayor Oh Se-hoon’s fifth term. Jamsil Jugong 5 also gained symbolic weight as the first signed approval of the ninth elected city administration. Because both sites sit at the heart of Seoul’s housing demand, every step forward carries a wider market effect.
Why 12,000 Homes Matter
The combined scale of Eunma and Jamsil 5 reaches about 12,000 homes, an unusually large supply variable in Seoul’s core districts. The city’s pledge to supply 310,000 homes depends heavily on whether redevelopment and reconstruction projects actually move into execution. These approvals mark the point where policy numbers begin shifting into construction schedules. Still, the road to 2028 includes management disposal approval, relocation, demolition, construction cost talks and final member contributions. Rising building costs and financing burdens will make negotiations between cooperatives and builders a decisive factor.
Market Impact and Outlook
In the short term, approval momentum can support asking prices by reducing uncertainty and making future new-unit value easier to price in. When relocation begins, nearby rental demand may rise and place pressure on jeonse and monthly rents. Over the longer term, more new supply in Gangnam and Jamsil could reshape demand around schools, transit and retail districts. If the 2028 construction target holds, Seoul’s prime reconstruction calendar will move forward meaningfully. The market’s attention is now shifting from approval itself to cost control, relocation planning and the ability to reach actual groundbreaking.
