[Herald Economy \u2014 Reporter Hong Seung-hee] Seoul\u2019s largest red-light district, \u201cMia-ri Texas,\u201d in Seongbuk District\u2019s Sinwol-gok 1 zone has closed after roughly 70 years.<\/p>\n

Seongbuk District announced on March 26 that businesses in Mia-ri Texas completed relocation in early March and that demolition is now about 90% complete.<\/p>\n

At a site inspection and project briefing that day, Seongbuk District Mayor Lee Seung-ro and local representatives removed a marker designating the area as a \u201cNo Minors Allowed\u201d zone within the district.<\/p>\n

Mia-ri Texas, which developed as a red-light district in the late 1960s, is now the focus of a redevelopment project.<\/p>\n

After court-ordered evictions, large-scale demolition began in earnest last November. The Mia-ri Sex Worker Relocation Committee had continued holding weekly rallies demanding compensation until recently.<\/p>\n

The redevelopment association and the committee ultimately reached a compensation agreement, and the last remaining business that had been operating and protesting recently completed its eviction.<\/p>\n

The Sinwol-gok 1 urban renewal project will combine residential, commercial and public facilities; officials are aiming to break ground this year.<\/p>\n

Under the plan, a 3,250 m\u00b2 cultural park (about 35,000 sq ft) and an 8,940 m\u00b2 (about 96,200 sq ft) public parking lot with roughly 180 spaces will be built near Exit 10 of Gireum Station.<\/p>\n

Within Sinwol-gok 1, the proposal calls for a commercial building of 10 stories above one basement level with a total floor area of 28,700 m\u00b2 (about 309,000 sq ft), plus 4,170 m\u00b2 (about 44,900 sq ft) of publicly accessible open space.<\/p>\n

Mayor Lee said, \u201cWith Mia-ri Texas now fully closed, we are advancing the Sinwol-gok 1 redevelopment project with the goal of starting construction in the second half of 2026,\u201d and added that the plan will secure the necessary infrastructure and commercial amenities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
