In the Seoul real estate market, large apartment complexes with over 1,000 units are considered the “leading properties” that drive local price trends. Thanks to their economies of scale, these complexes offer a diverse range of community amenities and specialized designs that are rarely found in smaller or mid-sized developments.

According to data from Real Estate R114, since last year up to this month, only about 28% of new apartment supply in Seoul consisted of complexes with more than 1,000 units. However, more than half of all subscription applications concentrated on these large complexes, clearly indicating the strong market preference for them.

Against this backdrop, “Summit The Hill,” a redevelopment project for Zone 11 of Heukseok New Town in Dongjak-gu, is set to be launched in May, drawing significant attention from the market.

This complex, constructed by Daewoo Engineering & Construction, will be built across Heukseok-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, with six basement floors and up to 16 stories above ground, comprising 30 buildings in total. It will offer 1,515 apartment units with exclusive areas ranging from 39 to 150 square meters. Among these, 432 units measuring 39, 49, 59, and 84 square meters will be available for general sale, primarily targeting the highly preferred small- and medium-sized units favored by Seoul homebuyers.

This new complex features Daewoo Engineering & Construction’s high-end residential brand, “Summit,” which stands out for its luxurious product appeal and the premium that comes with large-scale developments. The building will feature a curtain wall exterior and Summit’s signature facade color design, creating a sophisticated and distinguished image, while some units are designed to offer views of the Han River.

The community facilities, befitting the reputation of a large-scale complex, are also exceptional. There will be top-notch sports amenities including a three-lane indoor swimming pool, sauna, fitness club, group exercise club, climbing facility, and indoor gymnasium. On the top floor, residents can enjoy a sky lounge and sky guest house with views of downtown Seoul. The complex is also equipped with robust educational and cultural spaces, such as the integrated study room “Heukseok Library,” a library cafe, private cinema, and shared office space.

Residents will have convenient pedestrian access to Heukseok Station on Subway Line 9, and can reach Yeouido (YBD) and Gangnam (GBD) within 10 minutes. Through a transfer at Dongjak Station (Lines 4 and 9), which is just one stop away, access to the central business district (CBD) is excellent, covering all major work districts. Main roads such as Olympic-daero, Dongjak Bridge, and Gangbyeonbuk-ro are also easily accessible.

The living infrastructure is extensive. The neighborhood around the complex features the Heukseok-dong commercial area, and residents have access to major retail facilities such as Shinsegae Department Store Gangnam Branch, Emart Yongsan Branch, and Lotte Mart Seocho Branch. In addition, medical facilities like Chung-Ang University Hospital and The Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital are nearby, enhancing residential convenience. Once the New Town development is completed, the living infrastructure is expected to be further expanded.

There are also several schools within walking distance, including Chung-Ang University College of Education Affiliated Elementary and Middle Schools, Seoul Eunro Elementary School, and Heukseok High School. Chung-Ang University Seoul Campus and Soongsil University are also adjacent to the complex. The area also offers convenient access to the Banpo and Bangbae private education districts.

Given the difficulty in securing large plots for development in Seoul’s supply environment, which is focused on redevelopment projects, the arrival of a high-end brand complex with around 1,500 units is set to become a milestone that not only demonstrates rarity but also redefines the residential status of Heukseok New Town. The model home for “Summit The Hill” will be set up at the “Summit Gallery” on Yeongdong-daero in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
