en.Wedoany.com Reported - Samsung C&T announced that it will collaborate with British architecture firm Foster+Partners to transform the Seongsu Strategic Redevelopment Zone District 3 (Seongsu District 3) in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, into a high-end landmark.

Foster+Partners has previously participated in the design of iconic buildings in major global cities, including Apple Park in California, USA, London City Hall in the UK, the Hong Kong headquarters of HSBC, and ICD Brookfield Place in Dubai, UAE.

Samsung C&T previously collaborated with Foster+Partners on the Apgujeong District 4 redevelopment project in Gangnam-gu, where it secured the construction rights.

The two parties plan to discuss structural safety, views, lighting, and privacy for the high-rise complex along the Han River, which will reach up to 250 meters in height in Seongsu District 3, and propose a design that balances external symbolism with internal space efficiency.

Given that the Seongsu District 3 site has a relatively short frontage of approximately 250 meters along the Han River, the design will focus on ensuring all residents have access to high-quality river views through the application of precise landscape solutions.

Im Cheol-jeon, Head of Samsung C&T's Residential Sales Division, stated that Seongsu District 3 is a core redevelopment site in Seoul combining the natural environment of the Han River and Seoul Forest with the cultural value of Seongsu-dong, offering future growth potential. He added that the project will leverage the global-level high-rise design and technical expertise, as well as differentiated residential products, from both companies to create the highest landmark in Seongsu-dong.

The Seongsu District 3 redevelopment project is located in the area of 572-7, Seongsu 2-ga 1-dong, Seongdong-gu, covering a site area of 114,198 square meters. It will include 2,213 apartment units, along with ancillary welfare facilities, comprehensive commercial facilities, and a public office building.
