Yeouido in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, is expected to revive its status as a wealthy neighborhood. Projects that had been stalled due to reconstruction issues are being resolved all at once, and housing prices, which have been suppressed for a long time, are finally expected to fluctuate.

In the 1980s, Yeouido was the area with the highest housing prices nationwide. It once shared the glory of being a representative affluent area alongside Apgujeong, known as a wealthy district in Gangnam, but its competitiveness somewhat weakened after numerous new apartments were built in the Gangnam area from the 2000s onward.

However, with large-scale reconstruction projects recently gaining momentum in Yeouido, expectations are rising that it will regain its position as a premier affluent neighborhood representing Seoul.

Last April, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced a public inspection of the “Yeouido Apartment District Unit Plan,” which designates 12 apartment complexes within the Yeouido apartment district into 9 special planning zones, easing usage and height regulations. This opened the way for reconstruction apartments to be built up to 200 meters (maximum 70 floors) high.

If the plan proceeds as scheduled, the Yeouido area will transform into a high-rise mini new city along the Han River skyline. The Sibeom Apartment has been confirmed for reconstruction up to a maximum height of 65 floors, while the Sambu Apartment and Daegyo Apartment are also pursuing reconstruction with maximum heights of 56 and 59 floors, respectively.

With large projects being simultaneously promoted centered around Yeouido, the pre-sale price per pyeong (3.3㎡) has already surpassed that of Gangnam. According to the reconstruction maintenance plan disclosed in the Yeongdeungpo-gu district office, the general pre-sale price per 3.3㎡ for Yeouido reconstruction apartments is about 64 million KRW for Sibeom Apartment and about 60 million KRW for Hanyang Apartment, far exceeding the record-high pre-sale price of approximately 56.69 million KRW at Raemian One Bailey in Banpo-dong, Seocho-gu.

The industry anticipates that the real estate value in the area will skyrocket due to major development benefits such as Yeouido reconstruction, the Financial Hub District Unit Plan, and the Second Sejong Center for the Performing Arts. Just as Gangnam formed its affluent image through reconstruction, expectations are growing that Yeouido will also be reborn as a representative wealthy neighborhood in Korea through large-scale reconstruction.

Given the area's characteristics, with abundant demand from high-income financial sector workers and increased influx of asset owners due to various developments, interest is focused on the sale of luxury residential complexes. DL E&C is currently selling “Acro Yeouido The One” on the symbolic prime site of the former Yusoo Holdings in Yeouido. The complex will consist of 492 units ranging from 49 to 119㎡ across 7 basement floors to 29 above-ground floors.

The units are supplied as follows by exclusive area: △49㎡A 114 units △49㎡B 78 units △59㎡ 144 units △99㎡ 52 units △119㎡A 26 units △119㎡B 52 units △119㎡C 26 units, offering a variety of floor plans and up to 5-Bay specialized designs, allowing broad choices according to individual preferences. Move-in is scheduled for the end of 2026.

The complex proposes a high-end lifestyle never experienced before, befitting the Acro brand premium, which has won the world’s three major design awards (iF, reddot, IDEA). The building fa?ade is modeled after New York buildings, and the glass cubes that create diverse views depending on the light, along with the large Golden Gate located centrally at the lower part, are expected to become landmarks representing all of Yeouido.

The interior is decorated with various artworks by artists, featuring ceiling heights up to 2.6 meters and luxury fixtures from GESSI, the top luxury brand in the Italian market, allowing residents to enjoy a refined atmosphere down to the finest details. Additionally, a distinguished approximately 973-pyeong large-scale amenity facility called “Club Acro” will be established, enabling residents to enjoy leisurely leisure and hobbies within the complex.

Nearby, Yeouido Park and Yeouido Hangang Park are located, and the complex’s rooftop garden offers unobstructed views of Namsan and the Han River. Yeouido IFC Mall and The Hyundai Seoul are connected via an underground passage right next to the complex. For transportation, Yeouido Station on subway lines 5 and 9 is adjacent, and with the opening of GTX-B, the Western Line, and the Shinansan Line, it will become a transportation hub connecting various parts of Seoul and the metropolitan area.

Special contract benefits rare in this high-interest-rate era are also being offered. Interest-free loans are available for 50% of the deposit and 60% of the interim payments, and free options such as entrance doors for all units, ceramic towel art walls, washing machines, dryers, and kimchi refrigerators are provided, effectively reducing the pre-sale price. Additionally, no funding plan documents are required, and the property is exempt from acquisition tax surcharges.

Meanwhile, the “Acro Yeouido The One” housing exhibition hall is located in Yeouido, and unit selection on a first-come, first-served basis and advance visit reservations are currently underway.
