Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae Benefits from the GTX-B Line Advantage View original image

The transportation landscape in the northeastern metropolitan area is rapidly evolving. With the push to add a stop for the GTX-B line at Galmae Station gaining momentum, the Guri Galmae District is drawing attention as a location that offers both excellent access to Seoul and a comprehensive metropolitan transportation network. In addition, the expansion of road infrastructure such as the Sejong-Pocheon Expressway (Galmae IC), the Seoul Metropolitan Area First Ring Expressway, and the planned Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway is further elevating the Galmae area as a key transportation hub in the northeastern part of the metropolitan region.


The GTX-B (Greater Seoul Metropolitan Express Railway Line B) is a major rail network spanning approximately 82.8 kilometers, connecting Songdo in Incheon to Maseok in Namyangju. With express trains running at speeds of up to 180 km/h, the line is expected to link key metropolitan hubs within 20 to 30 minutes. Major stops include Songdo, Bupyeong, Yeouido, Seoul Station, Samseong, Cheongnyangni, and Namyangju, while discussions are underway between the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and local governments to add Galmae Station as an additional stop.


Once the GTX-B is completed, it is expected that the journey from Galmae Station to Seoul Station will take less than 30 minutes. This will dramatically reduce travel time compared to the existing Gyeongchun Line, significantly increasing demand for proximity between residential areas and major business districts in Seoul. In particular, Galmae Station will serve as a transfer hub between the Gyeongchun Line and GTX-B, further highlighting its unique value as a central transportation axis in the northeastern metropolitan area.


At the center of these transportation advantages is the asset attracting the most attention: Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae. Located in Guri, Gyeonggi Province, this complex knowledge industry center consists of two basement levels and ten above-ground floors, with a total floor area of approximately 103,805 square meters, and includes commercial facilities. The complex has already been completed and is being activated as various companies move in, making immediate occupancy upon contract another attractive feature.


The location allows easy access to both Galmae and Byeollae stations on the Gyeongchun Line, and offers travel times of 20 to 30 minutes to Gangnam and Jamsil. Furthermore, with the addition of the GTX-B Galmae Station stop, the Second Gyeongbu Expressway, and the Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway either confirmed or in progress, there is significant potential for long-term asset value appreciation.


The area also enjoys abundant demand from the surrounding population. The Galmae District is being developed as a self-sufficient city integrating residential, commercial, and work functions, and is surrounded by commercial facilities such as Starfield City, Lotte Mart, and large health checkup centers, resulting in a high floating population.


The complex itself has been designed with the work efficiency of tenant companies in mind. It features a drive-in system with a floor height of 5.5 meters, freight elevators, and a variety of unit sizes and customized spaces to meet the needs of industries such as manufacturing, IT, design, and logistics. The complex also provides a pleasant work environment with neighborhood amenities, a rooftop garden, and relaxation spaces.


One of the most notable advantages is the price competitiveness, which minimizes the financial burden for tenants. For companies currently paying high rents in other areas, it is possible to acquire assets here for the equivalent of a lease deposit. Companies that are paying expensive rents can purchase units at reasonable interest rates and operate their business, making it advisable to compare the pros and cons of leasing versus purchasing to reduce costs.


The stability of the location is also noteworthy. Knowledge industry centers in Guri have recorded higher occupancy rates compared to other regions, and according to local real estate agents, knowledge industry centers in the Galmae District, now in their second year since completion, have achieved occupancy rates exceeding 90%.
