The Guri Galmae District, a key hub in the northeastern metropolitan area, is rapidly emerging as a prime location for companies to establish new headquarters. In particular, 'Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae' by Hyundai Engineering is being recognized for transforming the business paradigm, thanks to its overwhelming brand power and strategic location advantages.

■ All-Directional Transportation Network Enables '10-Minute Access to Seoul'

The greatest asset of Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae is its transportation connectivity. As a double-station area adjacent to Byeollae Station (Gyeongchun Line and Line 8 extension) and Galmae Station, it will allow access to Seoul Station in just over 10 minutes once the GTX-B line is completed in the future.

The road network is also highly developed. With the Sejong-Pocheon Expressway (Guri-Anseong section), the 1st Metropolitan Beltway, and Gangbyeonbuk-ro all nearby, logistics movement is easy not only to Seoul’s Gangnam area but also across the entire metropolitan region. This directly contributes to reducing logistics costs, a core concern for business operations.

■ 'All-in-One' Specialized Design to Maximize Work Efficiency

The project stands out for its customized design tailored to the unique needs of each company, going beyond a simple office space.

Meanwhile, 'Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae', which offers all the features businesses seek, has been developed by Hyundai Engineering as a complex business center in 552-17 and 18, Galmae-dong, Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do, to revolutionize logistics and manufacturing businesses in the northeastern metropolitan area. The complex spans from two basement levels to 10 above-ground floors, with a total floor area of approximately 103,805 square meters, integrating both a knowledge industry center and commercial facilities. In particular, the knowledge industry center is divided into live offices, work-type spaces, and drive-in units, providing the optimal environment for different types of businesses to succeed.

'Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae' supports tenant companies’ successful business operations through a variety of specialized designs and community amenities. Of note, the knowledge industry center is subdivided by floor and line into live offices, drive-in units, and work-type spaces, maximizing both marketability and operational efficiency.

First, in line with the recent increase in single-person creative enterprises, live offices-small-scale specialized units combining work and relaxation-are being established. Live offices are hybrid spaces equipped with restrooms and lofts inside the office, allowing for both work and relaxation. From basement level 2 to the 8th floor, the drive-in knowledge industry center allows direct logistics movement by cargo vehicles, which is highly efficient and has attracted steady interest from manufacturing-oriented companies. The straight ramp and door-to-door system are optimized for logistics, while ceiling heights of up to 6 meters provide not only excellent space utilization but also an expansive sense of openness, which is drawing significant attention. Additionally, on the uppermost 9th and 10th floors, work-type knowledge industry centers with open, spacious layouts have been created to enhance work efficiency; some units also feature terrace designs, offering various size options to accommodate different business scales.

The complex also boasts plentiful community spaces for the benefit of tenant company employees. A wide range of community facilities, including seminar rooms, a community lounge, screen golf range, fitness center, shower rooms, club lounge, relaxation areas, and meeting rooms, are provided on site, offering the advantage of enjoying both relaxation and work within the complex. Furthermore, the site includes open green spaces for relaxation, such as a maple garden on basement level 2, a community garden on the 1st floor, a square garden on the 8th floor, and a garden of light on the 9th floor, allowing for a pleasant natural environment.

In addition, the Guri Wellness Health Screening Center, which provides a variety of medical services, is located on the 1st floor of the complex with a space of approximately 1,190 square meters, giving occupants convenient access to a wide range of medical services. Employees of tenant companies can enjoy continuous health management solutions as well as wellness care programs nearby.

The commercial facility 'Lom Street' is also located within the complex, providing a true one-stop lifestyle. The commercial area features luxurious environments with exotic landscaping, positioning itself as a new local landmark.

Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae shares an abundant business infrastructure and demand base with the nearby Wangsuk New Town and Dasan New Town. In addition, various financial support and tax benefits offered to tenant companies in the knowledge industry center are attractive not only for actual occupants but also for investors.

A real estate expert commented, "Due to high rents and a shortage of supply in Seoul, more companies are turning their eyes to knowledge industry centers in the Gyeonggi area with quasi-Seoul locations. Among these, it is important to secure a location with strong brand credibility and clear transportation advantages."

'Hyundai Terra Tower Guri Galmae' is currently accepting new tenants, and detailed information regarding occupancy and sales can be obtained at the sales promotion center located on the 1st floor of the complex.
