[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The subscription for 'The Sharp Bupyeong Central City' public-supported private rental apartments has been completed.


According to the Korea Real Estate Board's subscription website, a total of 5,249 applications were received for 2,597 units, including special supply, during the subscription period from the 24th to the 25th. Among them, the general subscription for the preferred 84A type recorded a competition rate of 135 to 1.


It is analyzed that the demand from applicants increased due to the advantages of rent being cheaper than the surrounding market price and the possibility of long-term (8 years) residence amid the prolonged rental housing shortage in the metropolitan area.


The Sharp Bupyeong Central City is a site where Incheon Urban Corporation is promoting the Sipjeong 2 District Residential Environment Improvement Project. Due to its characteristic as the metropolitan area's first public-supported private rental linked redevelopment complex and its symbolism as the largest single complex in Incheon (5,678 units), there was high expectation from demanders even before the subscription.


Composed of up to 49 floors and 28 buildings, The Sharp Bupyeong Central City is currently undergoing finishing construction, and move-in is scheduled for May this year.



Lee Seungwoo, president of Incheon Urban Corporation, stated, "Starting with the supply of The Sharp Bupyeong Central City, we plan to continuously increase the supply of rental housing such as public-supported private rental apartments," and added, "In particular, we will do our best to improve the residential welfare of Incheon citizens by promoting plans such as the 30,000 public rental housing units."
