[2025 Asia Construction Grand Awards] Safe and Eco-Friendly... Setting New Standards for Multi-Family Housing

The 20th Asia Construction Grand Awards
Winner of the Asia Economy Representative Award - Brand Category

Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which received the Asia Economy Representative Award in the brand category at this year's Asia Construction Grand Awards, is leading the domestic apartment culture with its residential brand, Hillstate.

Launched in 2006 with the sale of Hillstate Seoul Forest, the Hillstate brand has consistently refined its brand value, helping to solidify Hyundai Engineering & Construction's reputation. The company is recognized as a living witness to the history of apartments in Korea, having supplied the country's first apartment complex in 1962 and constructing Apgujeong Hyundai Apartments, the first large and medium-sized apartments in Seoul's Gangnam area, in 1976.

The company continues to add new value to the Hillstate brand each year, setting standards in the domestic multi-family housing market. Hyundai Engineering & Construction holds numerous "firsts" in Korea, including the introduction of crime prevention environment design in its Safe Apartment (2015), eco-friendly apartments with walking trails within the complex (2016), and AI-based Voice Home Apartments (2017).

Hillstate views apartments not just as residential spaces but as foundations that enable new lifestyles, and this philosophy is reflected in the brand's direction. Defining the home as a "lifestyle platform" stems from this very background.

The resident-only platform "MyHills," launched last year, is a system that allows residents to manage 38 types of residential services through a single mobile application. It integrates specialized services tailored to the customer journey, such as pre-move-in sales or subscription information, and post-move-in after-sales management, home IoT, and use of shared community facilities. As products and services expand in the future, the platform will provide corresponding support. Features such as electronic voting, surveys, secondhand trading within the complex, and small group activities foster communication and participation among residents, contributing to the formation of a community culture within the complex.

Hillstate Gaya, which is being offered for sale this month, aims to incorporate this brand premium throughout the development. The exterior features a curtain wall look, emphasizing a luxurious impression, while each unit type is designed with dress rooms, pantries, and shoe cabinets to maximize storage space. The company's proprietary patented floor noise reduction technology will be applied to living rooms and kitchens. This method uses high-performance composite shock absorbers to reduce noise and absorb impact from walking or running.
