Recently, among prospective homebuyers, the criteria for determining the value of a residential area have shifted from “location” to “quality of life.” In the past, factors such as proximity to subway stations or top-tier school districts were considered absolute indicators, but now the ability to enjoy abundant greenery near the complex has emerged as a key standard.

Amid this trend, complexes developed through the “Private Park Special Project,” which constructs large-scale parks alongside apartment buildings, are emerging as blue-chip investments in the market.


Because these complexes are located in the heart of parks, they offer the unique advantage of permanent open views and pleasant forest trails in everyday life.


Against this backdrop, “Lotte Castle Signature Gyeonggi Gwangju Station Complex 1,” a Private Park Special Project in Yangbeol-dong, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi Province, is now officially opening applications for its units.


The complex will consist of seven basement levels and up to 32 above-ground floors, with exclusive areas ranging from 59 to 260 square meters, totaling 1,077 units. The application process will begin with special supply on the 27th, followed by priority applications on the 28th, and secondary applications on the 29th.


The greatest strength of this complex is that residents can enjoy the vast “Ssangnyeong Park,” spanning approximately 510,000 square meters, as if it were their own front yard. Notably, the park’s core landmark facility was designed with the involvement of Richard Meier, a recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize-often referred to as the Nobel Prize of architecture. The park will also incorporate the biotope concept, creating an optimized ecosystem for wildlife and providing a space where residents can fully experience nature.


Inside the park, a variety of themed green spaces will be arranged, including “Forest of Four Seasons” along the ridge of Mareum Mountain, a Korean Flower Garden, a flower garden, and a glass greenhouse. In addition, the space will go beyond simply providing areas for relaxation, introducing bird-watching spots and nature learning features to function as an ecological and educational green complex.


An industry official commented, “The residential market is increasingly focusing not only on price appreciation potential but also on emotional satisfaction. As complexes developed under the Private Park Special Project with large-scale parks have limited supply, their scarcity is likely to make them leading properties in their respective regions.”
