Caredoc announced on the 11th that its senior housing specialized operator, Care Operation, was selected as an excellent proposer in Seoul City's 'Target Site Public Offering Private Investment Project' and will be in charge of operating the Silvertown sector.
The public offering-type private investment project, newly established by Seoul City last year in consultation with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, is a new form of public-private cooperation project in which the private sector proposes a project and Seoul City publicly announces a public site to solicit project plans. Care Operation established a special purpose corporation in cooperation with Korea Infrastructure Consulting (KIFAS) and took charge of operating the Silver Town business sector. In addition, startup Naeruri, which operates the senior-specific delivery service 'Onggoing', is also participating.
Among the sites proposed in this competition, Korea Infrastructure Consulting was selected as the excellent proposer by submitting a plan to build a 9-story complex facility on the site of the Gaehwasan Station public parking lot. The plan was highly evaluated for its spatial design that emphasizes senior housing and coexistence between generations, with the theme of ‘a specialized hub for intergenerational integration for the future.’ In addition, the design maximized space utilization by combining Silvertown, senior logistics center, and public parking lot, and the fact that the existing number of parking spaces was preserved was effective in considering the parking convenience of local residents.
Silvertown, which will be operated by Care Operation, is expected to contribute to solving the problem of shortage of housing for the elderly with a total of 104 households. It will form a systematic and efficient operation organization that takes into account the health and safety of residents, and approximately 20 experts will provide various services such as regular health management, emergency medical response, facility safety management and security, and housekeeping. In addition, it plans to realize social value by providing jobs close to the workplace, such as senior logistics centers.
Inside Silvertown, there will be various facilities such as a health care center, a physical therapy center, and a community room, which will likely improve the quality of life for senior residents. In addition, a restaurant and fitness center will be operated together to enhance convenience for residents.
Caredoc evaluates CareOperation’s participation in this public contest as a meaningful achievement in promoting public-private cooperation projects, and plans to actively respond to the increasing demand for specialized senior housing operations. CEO Park Jae-byeong said, “I am pleased that CareOperation, as a specialized senior housing operator, is demonstrating its capabilities in various sectors encompassing the public and private sectors,” and “We will do our best to provide sustainable and innovative solutions.”
