Recently, Mr. A, an electric vehicle owner living in an apartment in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, experienced an absurd situation. A revised housing management regulation prohibiting electric vehicles from parking in the underground parking lot was adopted with the approval of the majority of residents. According to the amended management regulation, a fine of 100,000 KRW per violation may be imposed if an electric vehicle is parked in the underground parking lot.


Following a fire incident involving an electric vehicle in an underground parking lot of an apartment in Incheon last August, concerns have increased, and Seoul City is promoting a policy to restrict the entry of electric vehicles charged over 90% into underground parking lots of apartments. However, this cannot be seen as a fundamental measure to prepare for the upcoming era of electric vehicles, and there is a significant risk of escalating conflicts among residents.


Currently, various measures to minimize risks such as electric vehicle fires are being promoted in the housing market, attracting considerable attention.


‘Yuseong Haneulchae Hi-Air,’ a landmark complex in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, has introduced specialized designs to prevent electric vehicle fires. The electric vehicle charging area is enclosed by three walls to minimize the spread of related damage, and a water barrier plate can be installed at the front of the charging area to enable rapid fire access. In particular, 24-hour monitoring through CCTV is planned to prioritize a safe residential environment.


An industry insider stated, “Until a battery with 0% possibility of electric vehicle fire is developed, everyone needs to pay close attention and be cautious.” He added, “Rather than methods that cause conflicts among residents such as banning electric vehicle parking and imposing fines, residential facilities equipped with safe preventive measures are expected to become popular complexes in the future.”


‘Yuseong Haneulchae Hi-Air,’ a transit-oriented landmark complex located near Yuseong Oncheon Station in Daejeon, is currently selling its last remaining units. The complex consists of four buildings ranging from four basement floors to a maximum of 47 floors above ground, with 562 apartments sized 84 to 112㎡, 129 officetel units sized 84㎡, and commercial facilities on the first and second floors above ground.


Contrary to the perception that ventilation is inconvenient in officetels, except for some units, the officetel is designed with a 4Bay slab-type structure allowing three-sided open cross ventilation, and a high ceiling of 2.4 meters provides a more comfortable spatial experience.


The officetel secures ample parking space with approximately 1.48 parking spots per unit.


Located in a double transit station area near Daejeon Subway Line 1 and the planned Daejeon Urban Railway Line 2 tram at Yuseong Oncheon Station, it boasts excellent transportation accessibility with travel times to Daejeon Station, where KTX and SRT Gyeongbu Line trains pass, within 20 minutes.


A sales representative stated, “Inquiries from buyers eager to snap up this prime complex with excellent location and product value are increasing,” adding, “The remaining units are expected to be sold out soon.”



Meanwhile, the model house for Yuseong Haneulchae Hi-Air is located near Yuseong Oncheon Station on Daejeon Subway Line 1.
