CJ Logistics Headquarters Relocation... "Opening of the Jongno Era"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] CJ Logistics announced on the 11th that it will leave the Seosomun building, which it has used for 51 years since moving in in 1971, and relocate to Jongno.

CJ Logistics will move its headquarters to ‘Tower 8’ located at 7 Jongno 5-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul (Cheongjin-dong) and will start operations from the 12th. ‘Tower 8’ is a building with 7 basement floors and 24 above-ground floors. CJ Logistics will use 12 of these floors. The Seosomun building is designated as an urban maintenance-type redevelopment zone along with nearby office buildings and is scheduled for redevelopment.

The Jongno building is designed as a smart office with a flexible seating system to match CJ Logistics’ style as an innovative technology company. All devices such as laptops, mobile phones, and telephones are connected wirelessly. Employees can reserve their workspaces through an online system and kiosks. The seats are categorized into collaborative types suitable for teamwork, focused types like a library, and general types for conversations, allowing employees to choose according to their work situation.

The top floor, usually reserved for the CEO’s office, is designed with customer lounges, meeting rooms, a cafeteria, and a rest area equipped with massage chairs, reflecting the company’s priority on customers and employees.

Lee Jung-hyun, Head of HR Support at CJ Logistics, said, “The new office was designed to provide a workspace that embodies a flexible and horizontal organizational culture so that all members can perform at their best. If the Seosomun building led the development of Korea’s logistics industry for 51 years, the Jongno building will be a foothold for growth as a global innovative technology company.”

The Jongno building is accessible via Jonggak Station on Subway Line 1, Euljiro 1(il)-ga Station on Line 2, Anguk Station on Line 3, and Gwanghwamun Station on Line 5. It is also close to the Jongno 1-ga bus stop, making it highly accessible. The Jongno and Cheongjin-dong areas, famous for Pimakgol, have long been known as places where many people gather and commerce thrives, making them desirable locations for companies to establish their bases.
