The Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to enforce the designation of a park for the site (pictured) in Songhyeon-dong, Jongno-gu, owned by Korean Air. Fierce controversy is expected because the policy is to surprise the park plan before the final mediation plan from the National Rights Commission comes out.
According to industry sources on the 6th, the city of Seoul plans to hold the 14th Joint Urban and Architecture Committee on the 7th to propose a plan change plan for the Bukchon district for the Songhyeon-dong site. The proposed amendment includes changing the 36642m2 Songhyeon-dong site owned by Korean Air from a special plan area to a cultural park. A city official said: “At the strong request of the department in charge, the agenda was proposed,” but the industry believes the city intended to finish the park designation with a swift decision before being tied to coordinating The authority.
Previously, Korean Air, which was in business difficulties due to the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), announced plans to sell the site in Songhyeon-dong in February to secure cash. This land is a ‘royal site’ in the middle of downtown Seoul, and the market price is estimated to be at least 500 billion won. Then, in late May, Seoul announced that it would designate this place as a cultural park. The plan is to make construction of the Songhyeon-dong site impossible and to purchase the land under the conditions set by the city of Seoul. After the announcement of the sale of the site in Songhyeon-dong by Korean Air in February, 15 companies issued letters of intent to participate in the tender, but none of the offers made in June after the announcement of the Seoul Metropolitan Government park development. .
The Seoul Metropolitan Government offers 46 billion won, well below the market price, as an overland compensation fee to Korean Air. Even this is a plan to pay in installments by 2022. Korean Air filed a complaint with the Authority regarding the illegality of the designation of a cultural park, saying it was suffering damage in the city of Seoul in connection with the sale of the site. in Songhyeon-dong twice in June and August. After going through a mediation meeting, the Kwon Ik Committee announced on the 21st of last month that “we have agreed to resolve it through a mediation in which Korean Air and Seoul City participate.”
Initially, the Kwon Ik Committee was scheduled to announce the final adjustment plan late last month, ahead of the Chuseok holiday. However, the announcement of the adjustment proposal was delayed because Seoul and Korean Air were unable to reduce their differences of opinion on price and timing of payment. In this situation, the Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to unilaterally push for the Songhyeon-dong site to be parked before the final adjustment proposal from the Kwon Ik Committee came out. It is analyzed that the Seoul Metropolitan Government abused the decision to adjust the KFTC as a recommendation without binding authority. City officials explained that the city of Seoul has responded to the coordination of rights and interests abroad, but on the other hand, has carefully drawn up a park estimation plan.
Korean Air has not taken an official position on the implementation of the parks in Seoul, but the interior is complicated. Inside, voices of abuse and tyranny from the Seoul authority are heard. Korean Air, which is at a dead end, faces a disadvantage in future negotiations with the city of Seoul on prices and payment terms. Park Eun-jae’s lawyer at the Yulchon Law Firm noted, “It is against the law for Seoul to enforce the park designation in a situation where the rights and interests committees have not yet come out.
