"Change to survive." This has recently become the hottest topic in the knowledge industry center market. After enjoying a boom period over the past few years and gaining popularity as an investment destination, knowledge industry centers have recently faced difficulties due to oversupply and high interest rates, prompting continuous transformations to overcome these challenges.

In particular, just like the apartment market, the knowledge industry center market has seen a decline in investment demand and a reorganization of the demand base centered on actual tenant companies. Recently, the focus has been on applying customized designs for these tenants and providing optimal working environments. Additionally, there has been an increase in complexes that conduct marketing and sales activities strictly targeting actual tenant companies.

For example, the 'S' Knowledge Industry Center, which was announced for supply in Seongnam Industrial Complex in January this year, applied customized designs tailored to the needs of real companies in the industrial complex area. Furthermore, by having actual contract holders move in and sign pledges not to lease out the spaces, the sales activities strictly targeted real demand, resulting in a contract rate close to 55% within just four months of the contract start.

An industry insider stated, "During the boom period of the knowledge industry center market in the past, it is true that supply focused more on profitability rather than structures or specialized designs for companies because sales were good. However, as the market changed, these knowledge industry centers began to be ignored by companies. Recently, knowledge industry centers have been strengthening designs and complex configurations for companies that will actually move in."

In this context, the 'Hyundai Terra Tower Sema Station' by Hyundai Engineering, located in the station area of Sema Station on Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1 in Osan City, which has recently emerged as a hub for the semiconductor business, is attracting attention by showcasing various specialized designs and complex configurations for actual tenant companies.

Hyundai Terra Tower Sema Station is a knowledge industry center being developed in Segyo-dong, Osan-si, Gyeonggi-do, with a scale of about 115,000㎡ (approximately 35,000 pyeong) spanning from three basement floors to 13 above-ground floors. It consists of 566 units of manufacturing, research & office-type knowledge industry centers (from basement level 2 to 13) and 46 commercial units (from basement 1 to ground floor 1). By type, it includes ▲427 manufacturing units ▲45 research units ▲94 office units, characterized as a manufacturing-centered knowledge industry center with rarity and high demand in the area.

A real estate official in Osan City said, "This complex has introduced various designs tailored to the characteristics of manufacturing, research, and office-type knowledge industry centers, leading to significant inquiries from companies. In particular, not only semiconductor companies focused on manufacturing but also companies in secondary batteries, cosmetics, and logistics have continuously shown interest, and actual contracts are progressing smoothly."

Hyundai Terra Tower Sema Station stands out by adopting customized designs suited to each business type. First, aligned with the manufacturing-centered complex configuration, it applies designs optimized for logistics movement. It supports loading and unloading of 40-foot (about 12 meters) container trucks and has introduced drive-in and door-to-door (except some units) systems to enhance convenience in vehicle movement and loading/unloading. Additionally, a wide ramp width of about 7.5 meters (except some units) strengthens the convenience and safety of logistics vehicle movement.

Moreover, specialized high-load designs are implemented throughout. It is designed to withstand vehicle access of 2.5 tons and a load of 1.2 tons per square meter, and two freight elevators capable of handling logistics up to 5 tons are installed, enabling loading and unloading from basement level 1 to the 11th floor above ground.

Specialized designs for research and office types also attract attention. Notably, it features a high ceiling of up to about 6.5 meters (5.4 meters on standard floors), balcony services (except some units) to expand space utilization and openness. Additionally, rest areas and planting spaces are arranged on each floor (2F to 13F) to allow simultaneous work and rest, and various auxiliary facilities such as meeting and lounge areas and fitness centers are provided to enhance work efficiency.

Meanwhile, Hyundai Terra Tower Sema Station is also gaining more interest by offering various sales conditions that reduce the financial burden on companies, along with customized designs for actual tenant companies.

A sales official said, "Providing sales conditions such as a down payment of 10 million KRW (first installment) and interest-free loans for intermediate payments has significantly lowered the price burden for actual tenant companies, resulting in high satisfaction and strong response."

The model house for Hyundai Terra Tower Sema Station is located in Yeongcheon-dong, Hwaseong City.
