Forena Lu1 City Commercial Space Accelerates Sales with Ballbear Park Entry Contract Signed

Recently, in the commercial property pre-sale market, well-known educational institutes, kids cafes, and children-only theme parks related to children's education have become preferred anchor tenants.

These kids theme parks, as well as exercise and play facilities dedicated to infants and children, are typically established on a large scale. As a result, whether a kids-related business is present has emerged as a key criterion in the commercial property pre-sale market.

The main reason kids-related businesses are considered core tenants is the increase in 'golden kids' due to the low birth rate. As nuclear families become more common and dual-income couples increase, diverse content and facilities for children have become more important.

Moreover, as the purchaser and end-user are often not the same person, the purchasing power of the 'Eight Pocket' phenomenon (where eight relatives, including parents, both sets of grandparents, aunts, and uncles, spend money on a child) is rising, further driving the rapid growth of the kids industry.

Therefore, commercial districts with a concentration of kids-related businesses are characterized by a stable demand from family visitors. This is because families can enjoy dining, shopping, and cultural activities all in one place.

Against this backdrop, in the Lu1 City area, which is currently leading the real estate market in Seo-gu, Incheon, the commercial space within 'Forena Lu1 City' has drawn attention by achieving a remarkable subscription competition rate of up to 38.76 to 1, with all unit types selling out in the first round. The complex has completed a contract for the entry of 'Ballbear Park,' a large-scale kids park on the fourth basement level.

Ballbear Park, which will open inside the Forena Lu1 City complex that serves 1,128 exclusive households and around 5,000 households in the surrounding area, will feature over 10 different sports zones and challenge zones, as well as areas for infants, creative activities, events, and relaxation spaces for those tired from sports. It is expected to become a popular destination for parents and family customers.

Ballbear Park, presented by CMG KOREA-a management group that produces, plans, and operates a variety of cultural content for children based on familiar characters-is a sports theme park. Its main theme is 'A Sports Theme Park Where You Grow Taller While Playing.'

Ballbear Park will be established as the largest indoor sports theme park in Korea, unaffected by fine dust or weather. It will offer a comprehensive indoor space for various sports play experiences, including sports, characters, challenges, digital activities, height growth, infant areas, creative workshops, party rooms, food and beverages, and relaxation zones.

In addition to attracting key tenants, the location near government offices and excellent transportation infrastructure are also noteworthy. The commercial space within Forena Lu1 City is expected to benefit from the fixed demand generated by the nearby administrative town and Incheon’s Second City Hall, as well as the annual floating population of about 400,000 people visiting administrative agencies, which will positively influence the formation of the commercial district.

The commercial space within Forena Lu1 City boasts a highly accessible transportation environment, conveniently located near Gajeong Station on Incheon Subway Line 2 and the planned Lu1 City Station on the extended Line 7. When the Cheongna extension of Seoul Subway Line 7 opens in the future, access to Gangnam and other metropolitan areas is expected to improve even further.

As the only apartment complex in Lu1 City with an elementary school (Bongsu Elementary School) adjacent, Forena Lu1 City’s commercial space is expected to attract demand from parents with elementary school-aged children. With various educational institutes forming in the area, the scarcity value of the commercial facilities is expected to rise upon completion.

A sales representative stated, “Since the contract for the kids park was finalized in the Forena Lu1 City complex, we have received a steady stream of inquiries from various educational institutes, as well as businesses such as pediatric clinics, kids dental clinics, and kids hair salons wishing to move in. The kids industry has grown rapidly because parents with strong purchasing power, as well as aunts and uncles, are willing to spend for their children. The convenient parking facilities will also make Forena Lu1 City’s commercial space highly attractive to visitors.”

The promotional center is currently open in Seo-gu, Incheon, and related information and inquiries can be made through the main contact number.
