Program

Queen’s Crossing will be an integrated mixed-use development, but will emphasize uses that are currently lacking in the 3 neighborhoods, such as affordable housing, offices and green spaces (on the roofs), to take the opportunity to resolve the area’s issues of sky-high rents, dearth of housing options, as well as the lack of office space and green public spaces. Retail (which would be concepts that are different from the existing shopping options in the vicinity) and rooftop green spaces will give reasons for bus passengers and the public to linger longer and make the development a destination for all- and it would not have a target demographic because the purpose of this development is to connect and to bring everyone together. The design will be inspired by East Seoul Bus Terminal (see Precedent Studies pages), however because of the limited FAR/Gross Plot Ratio allowed by Urban Redevelopment Authority, the buildings will be much smaller in comparison.
