Specialized Design Applied to ‘Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae’ Gains Popularity

- Increase in small one-person creative enterprises such as YouTubers and startups in companies
- Customized live office for one-person businesses equipped with work and rest functions

The competitiveness of knowledge industry centers equipped with live offices is increasing amid the rising trend of one-person creative enterprises.

Live offices are small-scale specialized knowledge industry centers that combine work and rest functions, offering high efficiency in terms of investment and operating costs, rapidly emerging as a new alternative to officetels and offices.

A one-person creative enterprise refers to a business operated by a single entrepreneur with creativity and expertise, running the business without regular employees; it also includes joint ventures with fewer than five partners.

According to the "2020 One-Person Creative Enterprise Survey" released by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, as of 2018, the total number of one-person creative enterprises was 427,367, an increase of 24,755 (6.1%) from 402,612 the previous year. By industry, manufacturing (40.9%) and educational services (25%) were the most common.

In response to these social changes, Hyundai Engineering’s knowledge industry center, ‘Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae,’ which has actually introduced live offices, has seen its occupancy rate exceed 50% just five months after opening, with continuous inquiries from companies.

A sales representative said, “As new types of jobs centered on individuals, such as YouTubers and small startups, increase, the popularity of live office products that can simultaneously address work and rest is rising, resulting in a very high occupancy rate at ‘Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae.’ Especially since live offices align with recent trends, their popularity is expected to grow further.”

Meanwhile, ‘Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae,’ which possesses all the elements desired by companies, was developed by Hyundai Engineering in Galmae-dong, Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do, as a complex business center to innovate logistics and manufacturing businesses in the northeastern metropolitan area. The complex spans approximately 103,805㎡ over two basement floors to ten above-ground floors, integrating knowledge industry centers and commercial facilities. In particular, the knowledge industry center is composed of live offices, work-type offices, and drive-in types, providing optimal conditions to support successful businesses for various types of companies.

‘Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae’ offers several specialized designs and community features to support the successful business environment of tenant companies. Notably, the knowledge industry center is divided by floor and line into live office, drive-in, and work-type sections, maximizing both marketability and efficiency.

First, in line with the recent increase in one-person creative enterprises, live offices are created as small-scale specialized products combining work and rest functions. Live offices can be used as multifunctional offices with rest areas by installing restrooms and lofts within the office space. From the second basement to the eighth floor, the drive-in knowledge industry center allows direct logistics movement by cargo vehicles, attracting steady interest from manufacturing-centered companies. The facility is optimized for logistics movement with a straight ramp and door-to-door system, and features a high ceiling up to 6 meters, enhancing space utilization and providing a wide open feel, which has drawn considerable attention. Additionally, the top floors, the ninth and tenth floors, are designed as work-type knowledge industry centers with an open atmosphere to improve work efficiency, and some units include terrace designs, allowing companies to choose according to their size with various floor plans.

Abundant community spaces also attract attention. Various community facilities such as seminar rooms, community lounges, screen golf courses, fitness rooms, shower rooms, club lounges, rest areas, and meeting rooms are established within the complex, offering the advantage of enjoying rest and work simultaneously. Furthermore, the complex includes public green spaces such as the Maple Garden on the second basement floor, the Community Garden on the first floor, the Square Garden on the eighth floor, and the Garden of Light on the ninth floor, providing a pleasant natural environment.

In addition, the Guri Wellness Health Screening Center, offering various medical services, is planned to be established on the first floor of the complex with an area of approximately 1,190㎡. Scheduled to open next month, tenant company employees will be able to enjoy a variety of medical services nearby, including continuous health management solutions and wellness care programs.

The concept-type commercial facility ‘Rom Street,’ inspired by Rome’s Spanish Steps, is also located from the L floor (basement 1) to the first floor of the complex, providing the advantage of a one-stop lifestyle. The commercial facility features a distinctive MD composition, including cafes with vintage European-style designs. Especially, through luxurious commercial environment specialization reminiscent of Rome’s Spanish Steps, it creates an exotic landscape and is becoming a local landmark.

‘Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae’ is currently accepting tenants, and detailed information about leasing and sales can be obtained at the sales promotion center on the first floor of the complex.
