Hyundai Construction Launches Sales in Incheon Bupyeong and Songdo... Simultaneous Opening of 'Cyber Model House' (Comprehensive)

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Hyundai Engineering & Construction is starting the full-scale sales schedule in Bupyeong and Songdo, Incheon. The model houses will be replaced with cyber model houses to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced that on the 13th, the model houses for 'Hillstate Bupyeong' and 'Hillstate Songdo The Sky' will be opened online respectively.

The Hillstate Bupyeong cyber model house will be available on the official website. It is explained that the indoor floor plan is realized in virtual reality (VR) to allow a detailed tour as if visiting the actual interior. The list of exhibition items prepared in the unit is arranged on a separate screen for convenient viewing. They have also prepared various events such as a YouTube live broadcast on the opening day of the cyber model house. Kim Tae-jin, familiar from the mobile quiz show 'Jam Live,' and a real estate expert will co-host, and inquiries posted in the real-time chat window will be answered by professional counselors.

Hillstate Songdo The Sky will also provide information comparable to a physical model house by releasing unit VR, aerial VR, e-catalog, and more on its website. Announcer Kim Il-jung will host 'Hillstate Tutorial,' answering questions in real time.

Hillstate Bupyeong, redeveloping Baegun 2 District located at 1184 Gyeongwon-daero, Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, will be a large complex with 9 buildings ranging from 3 basement floors to a maximum of 39 floors above ground, totaling 1,409 households. Among them, 837 households with exclusive areas of 46 to 84㎡ will be sold to the general public. Baegun 2 District, where Hillstate Bupyeong is located, adjoins Baegun Station. Using the subway from Baegun Station, it takes about 50 minutes to reach Yeouido, Yongsan, and Seoul Station in Seoul, and the time is further shortened by transferring to an express train at Bupyeong Station, just one stop away. It is also easy to use Bupyeongsamgeori Station (Incheon Subway Line 1), which connects the complex to Songdo. Elementary, middle, and high schools such as Baegun Elementary, Sinchon Elementary, Bupyeongseo Girls' Middle School, Bupyeongseo Middle School, Bugwang High School, and Incheon Jeil High School are all within walking distance, and it is convenient to use the academy districts located in Bupyeong Station and Ganseok Ogeori. Bupyeong Park, Baegun Park, Hambongsan, and Dongamsan are also nearby. The 2001 Outlet (Bupyeong branch), Lotte Mart (Bupyeong Station branch and Bupyeong branch), Homeplus (Ganseok branch), and Incheon St. Mary's Hospital are also easily accessible from the complex.

Various specialized designs will also be introduced. The complex is arranged mainly with all units facing south to ensure good lighting, and the ground floor will be developed as a car-free park-type apartment. A walking trail of about 800 meters will also be created. The 59㎡A type offers a 4-bay plate-type structure despite being a small unit. Hyundai Engineering & Construction's home IoT system 'Hi-oT' technology will also be applied. It will allow control of lighting and heating, checking energy usage, and services such as parcel tracking and elevator calling via smartphone are planned. HEPA filter heat exchangers will be installed inside the units, and a built-in cleaner (paid option) will be provided at the entrance to help reduce fine dust.

Special supply will begin on the 23rd, followed by first-priority subscription on the 24th. Winners will be announced on April 2, and contracts with winners will be conducted from April 13 to 17 at the model house (24, 1184 Gyeongwon-daero, Bupyeong-gu). To prevent COVID-19, only the winners and up to two members of the winning households can visit the model house. Only the winner can enter during the contract. Also, entry will be restricted if masks are not worn or if body temperature exceeds 37.3 degrees Celsius during measurement. Move-in is scheduled for June 2023.

Hillstate Songdo The Sky postponed its sales planned for last month due to the COVID-19 situation and is now preparing a cyber model house. Hillstate Songdo The Sky, supplied through Block B2 of District 1 in Songdo International City, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, consists of 6 buildings from 5 basement floors to a maximum of 59 floors above ground (including 1 officetel building), with 1,205 apartment units ranging from 84 to 175㎡, 320 residential officetel units of 59㎡, totaling 1,525 households. From basement level 1 to the 3rd floor above ground, a commercial facility called 'Sky Avenue' with 158 units and a total floor area of 25,775㎡ will be developed. A 'Premium Market' directly operated by the project owner will be located on the basement 1 floor of this facility.

This complex is a notable location even within Songdo International City. Incheon Subway Line 1's International Business District Station is connected underground to the complex, and it faces the waterfront lake, a core project of Songdo Districts 6 and 8. Nearby are Costco Songdo, Lotte Mart Songdo, Homeplus Songdo, Hyundai Premium Outlet Songdo, the planned Lotte Mall Songdo, and the planned Starfield Songdo. There are also many educational facilities such as Chadwick International School Songdo, POSCO Autonomous Private High School, and Incheon Science and Arts Gifted School.

Large-scale community facilities will also be created. On the top floor, the 52nd floor of Building 102, a sky lounge overlooking the waterfront lake will be established. On the same floor, a moms' cafe and H i-Sup (indoor forest playground) will also be included. On the 2nd floor above ground of Building 104, a library consisting of male and female reading rooms and study rooms will be created, and on the 3rd floor of Building 103, five guest houses will be established. The officetel building will have separate community facilities such as a clubhouse, meeting rooms, male and female saunas, and fitness centers for officetel residents. Special supply will begin on the 23rd, followed by first-priority subscription on the 24th. Winners will be announced on April 1, and the official contract period is from April 17 to 24.

Both locations are in Incheon, a non-regulated area, which is attracting great interest from subscription applicants due to relatively fewer restrictions on subscription qualifications, resale limitations, and interim payment loan guarantees. A Hyundai Engineering & Construction sales official said, "Although we operate cyber model houses, we plan to provide customers with detailed information as if they were seeing it in person," adding, "The Incheon sales market is attracting many inquiries because housing prices are reasonable compared to the soaring apartment prices in Seoul, and there are many transportation benefits."
