The company aims to establish a premium mixed-use complex that will serve as a symbol of Yongsan Front Zone 1 as a 'global business city,' organically connecting international business, commercial, and accommodation functions.

Attracting the Park Hyatt hotel is expected to draw high-end business demand. The venue could host international conferences and forums, VIP receptions for global corporations, high-end guest accommodations, and cultural and artistic events. It would also enable the creation of a business environment equipped with advanced infrastructure, including security, transportation, and telecommunications.

In the commercial sector, the proximity to a 'six-star hotel' would provide a location premium. This would help attract luxury retail, fine dining, and global beauty and lifestyle brands, while also securing demand from hotel guests as well as business and residential users, thereby significantly enhancing the stability and value of the commercial facilities.

In Tokyo, Roppongi Hills attracted 'Grand Hyatt Tokyo' within its complex, absorbing MICE, high-end accommodation, and global corporate demand, and boosting the sales performance and asset value of its premium office and commercial facilities.

There have also been cases of high-end mixed-use development strategies in Seoul. The InterContinental and Parnas Hotels at COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, reinforced business and tourism functions through synergies with large-scale offices, retail, and exhibition spaces. Conrad Hotel at IFC Mall in Yeouido is also credited with attracting global financial firms and revitalizing commercial facilities.

A representative from HDC Hyundai Development Company stated, "We plan to realize the triangular synergy of 'hotel + office + commercial facilities,' centered around the attraction of the Park Hyatt hotel, at Yongsan Maintenance Depot. If this is combined with the distinctive skyline and landscaping of THE LINE 330, as well as the creation of a global luxury street, Yongsan's value and status as Seoul's premium gateway will be further elevated."
