- Worth Noting Transit-Oriented Areas like 'Hillstate Cheongnyangni The First' with Convenient Transportation Access

Young consumers are increasingly focusing on officetels that offer convenient commuting.

According to a survey conducted on 1,324 people by the public opinion research firm ‘Korea Gallup Poll Institute’ on the 27th of last month, the main factors considered when deciding on housing were ▲‘transportation convenience’ (52%) ▲‘proximity to workplace’ (47%) ▲‘convenient access to living amenities and commercial facilities’ (40%) ▲‘housing price’ (29%) ▲‘pleasant residential and natural environment’ (23%) ▲‘excellent school districts and educational conditions for children’ (17%).

In particular, as the availability of personal leisure time has become a key factor in quality of life, demand for residential complexes with excellent proximity to workplaces has increased. Transportation accessibility is also clearly reflected in market performance.

This interest is also evident in subscription competition rates. According to data from the subscription website, in February, Lotte Construction (developer Next V City PFV) launched the ‘Geomdan New Town Lotte Castle Nextiel I·II·III’ officetels, which recorded an average competition rate of 4 to 1 (2,778 applicants for 682 units). For the representative residential officetel size of 84㎡ exclusive area, 577 applicants competed for 40 units, resulting in a 14 to 1 ratio.

A real estate expert said, “Recently, as consumers’ interest in work-life balance has increased, the tendency to prefer complexes close to workplaces has become stronger,” adding, “Recently, complexes near subway stations have shown high sales and occupancy rates, confirming this trend.”

In fact, as the popularity of officetels continues, the ‘Hillstate Cheongnyangni The First’ officetel complex near Cheongnyangni Station, which has many development prospects, has attracted significant attention by surpassing a 90% balance payment rate just three months after move-in began. Additionally, over 95% of commercial facility contract holders have completed their balance payments, indicating growing investor interest.

‘Hillstate Cheongnyangni The First’ is gaining even more attention not only because it is an officetel near a subway station but also due to abundant nearby development prospects.

The Cheongnyangni Station area is expected to increase in future value as development plans continue. Construction companies have already been selected and projects are underway for Cheongnyangni District 6 (GS Construction), Districts 7 and 8 (Lotte Construction), and Jegi Districts 4 (Hyundai Construction) and 6 (SK Ecoplant). Additionally, redevelopment projects such as Miju Apartments and Jeonnong Districts 9 and 12 are continuously progressing, which is expected to further enhance the area's value.

Especially, a massive transportation development is pending at Cheongnyangni Station. Besides the six lines currently operating at Cheongnyangni Station?Line 1, Suin-Bundang Line, Gyeongui-Jungang Line, Gyeongchun Line, KTX Gangneung Line, and Jungang Line?four new lines are planned: the Seoul Metropolitan Area Express Railway (GTX) B Line (Songdo-Maseok), GTX C Line (Deokjeong-Suwon), Myeonmok Line (Cheongnyangni-Sinnae-dong), and Gangbuk Transversal Line (Cheongnyangni-Mokdong). A complex transfer center connecting these lines will also be constructed. In the future, Cheongnyangni Station will become a ‘transportation hub’ with 10 lines (including planned ones) stopping there. Along with Seoul Station and Samseong Station, it will be one of three stations in Seoul where two GTX lines stop. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Cheongnyangni Station had 150,000 daily users in 2020, which is expected to increase to 300,000 by 2030.

Furthermore, within a 3 km radius of the project site, there are seven universities: Korea University, University of Seoul, Sungshin Women’s University, Hanyang University, Kyung Hee University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, and KAIST. This provides a rich base demand from professors, researchers, staff, and students, which is expected to continuously increase the area's value.
