Near the complex, major domestic bio companies such as Samsung Biologics, Samsung Bioepis, and Celltrion are located in Songdo. With the announcement of the K-Bio Lab Hub (scheduled for 2026) and the relocation of SK Bioscience headquarters (planned for 2025), the area is expected to expand into a large-scale bio research industrial cluster.


Additionally, campus towns are being formed including Yonsei University International Campus, Incheon Global Campus, and the planned Inha University Songdo Campus. Severance Hospital (scheduled for 2026) and Yonsei Science Park (scheduled for 2030) are also being established, which is expected to build an advanced cluster integrating industry, academia, research, and medical fields.


The complex boasts a prime location about a 3-minute walk from Campustown Station on Incheon Line 1. It offers convenient access to Seoul and Incheon Airport, and with the GTX Line B scheduled to be completed in 2027 passing through Songdo, accessibility to Seoul is expected to improve.



The officetels in the complex will incorporate POSCO Engineering & Construction’s specialized floor plans to enhance practicality and create hotel-style lobby spaces to increase residential satisfaction. Depending on the situation, emotional lighting ‘The Sharp Lumina,’ which allows free adjustment of brightness and color temperature, will be provided as standard. POSCO’s smart technology AiQ TECH will be applied to automatically control lighting, heating, gas, and ventilation. UV-C LED sterilization lighting will be installed inside the elevators to eliminate viruses and bacteria. Community facilities exclusive to residents, such as a fitness center and golf practice range, will also be provided.
