"Could it become the second Yongsan, or even surpass that? The transformation of Cheongnyangni is just beginning. The skyline adorned with high-rise residential complexes connected by a premium transportation network spreading across Seoul and the entire country?it's hard to express the excitement about the changing Cheongnyangni in just a few words."


Last weekend, Mr. A, a licensed real estate agent whom we met in Cheongnyangni-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, showed great enthusiasm while explaining Cheongnyangni's elevated status and high future value. He has been running a real estate office in Cheongnyangni for a long time and had been anticipating its transformation; recently, he feels that those expectations are becoming reality.


Indeed, around Mr. A's office, construction of new high-rise residential complexes is in full swing. Leaving behind the old houses and shops, a new history is being written.


There are also abundant development benefits surrounding the area. First, the Hongneung area, including Cheongnyangni-dong and Hoegi-dong, is being reborn as a bio-industrial complex. The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to establish the Hongneung area as a bio-medical research and development (R&D) hub, linking nearby universities, research institutes, companies, and hospitals to create a bio-medical cluster. The first phase of the project was completed last year, and the second phase will include the 'BT·IT Convergence Center,' the '2021 Global Cooperation Building,' and the 'Advanced Medical Device Development Center' scheduled for 2024.


Urban regeneration projects are also underway around the Cheongnyangni General Market area. Plans include creating a complex cultural space utilizing urban hanok (traditional Korean houses), which will improve the traditional market environment and convenience, expanding its function as a market where various generations can enjoy for a long time.


Such multifaceted development winds are directly influencing the real estate market. The enthusiasm in the subscription market has been significant since last year. In fact, three complexes were sold in the Cheongnyangni Station area alone last year, all recording high competition rates, proving their popularity from the pre-sale stage.


This year, the momentum continues. In particular, Hyundai Engineering & Construction's 'Hillstate Cheongnyangni Station' supply is highlighting Cheongnyangni's value once again to buyers. Industry experts unanimously agree that 'Hillstate Cheongnyangni Station' is the central axis of Cheongnyangni Station area development and a landmark complex in the district.


'Hillstate Cheongnyangni Station' is a complex developed by redeveloping Miju Shopping Center Building B at 235-6 Cheongnyangni-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul. It consists of a residential officetel with 954 units ranging from 20 to 44㎡ across 7 basement floors to 20 above-ground floors, along with commercial facilities and public office facilities (dong community center).


It boasts a convenient location comparable to any other complex in the area. First, it is a transportation hub.

The adjacent Cheongnyangni Station Transfer Center offers about 60 bus routes, and vehicle access is easy via the Internal Circulation Road and Dongbu Expressway.


The surrounding area is rich in living infrastructure, providing a convenient lifestyle. Lotte Department Store, Lotte Mart, and Lotte Cinema are within walking distance, and various commercial facilities around Cheongnyangni Station are easily accessible. Essential living infrastructures such as Cheongnyangni General Market, Gyeongdong Market, Dongdaemun Tax Office, Dongdaemun Police Station, and Seoul Sacred Heart Hospital are also conveniently reachable.


Within a 2 km radius, numerous public institutions and large hospitals, as well as five universities including University of Seoul, Korea University, and Kyung Hee University, are located, ensuring abundant rental demand. Additionally, easy access to business centers like City Hall, Yongsan, and Gwanghwamun suggests that demand from office workers can also be covered.


The internal design is also competitive. The officetels consist of popular studio types and recently trendy separated types. Depending on the area and type, various specialized designs such as large dressing rooms, pantries, and auxiliary kitchens are applied. Furthermore, Hillstate's exclusive IoT (Internet of Things) service, Hi-oT technology, will be implemented, equipping the complex with state-of-the-art systems comparable to apartments.


Moreover, within the complex, a multi-purpose building housing the Cheongnyangni-dong Community Center, autonomous hall, and Dongdaemun headquarters, along with cultural and welfare facilities, will be established, promising excellent living convenience.
