Investment Popularity in Knowledge Industry Centers in Hyangdong District, the Core of Yeouido, Magok, and Sangam Knowledge Industry Belt
Development Boosts Amid Strong Air Demand in Sangam DMC and Changneung New Town
Using the Seoul area code '02' for phone numbers and located east of 'Eunpyeong-gu' and just one road away from 'Mapo-gu' to the south, Goyang Hyangdong District is called 'Gyeonggi-do in name only.' Although it is situated in Gyeonggi-do, residents can effectively enjoy the Seoul living zone, making Hyangdong District increasingly popular.
In fact, thanks to its proximity to Seoul, apartment prices in Hyangdong District have risen by as much as 136% compared to their initial sale prices. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's actual transaction price statistics system, the 'DMC Lesville The Forest' apartment in Hyangdong District, with an exclusive area of 84㎡, was initially sold for 445 million KRW, but in January of this year, actual transaction prices reached 1.05 billion KRW, confirming that Hyangdong District has joined the '1 billion KRW club.'
The spotlight on Hyangdong District is due to its adjacency to the 3rd New Town, Goyang Changneung New Town, and the influx of development benefits. With the designation of the 3rd New Town Changneung New Town, a subway line (Goyang Line) will be constructed from Saejeol Station to Goyang City Hall, including the development of Hyangdong District Station, effectively allowing residents to enjoy the Seoul living zone.
As apartment prices and regional value in Hyangdong District soar, interest in the knowledge industry center 'DMC EspoK,' which is being supplied in Hyangdong District, is also growing. This knowledge industry center will be built on a scale of approximately 138,482㎡ across two basement floors to 15 above-ground floors, roughly 19 times the size of a soccer field. Additionally, it offers 1,165 parking spaces, which is about 227.98% of the legally required amount, providing ample parking.
The strength of Hyangdong District, where 'DMC EspoK' is located, lies in its access to the Seoul living zone. The complex is near the planned Hyangdong District Station on the Goyang Line and is close to major roads such as Gangbyeonbuk-ro, Jayu-ro, and Olympic-daero, facilitating excellent industrial connectivity with Seoul business districts like Magok and Yeouido. Moreover, it shares infrastructure with Seoul's Sangam-dong, home to the Digital Media City (DMC), the center of broadcasting and cultural content, as well as Eunpyeong-gu. Furthermore, the adjacent Susaek Station area, covering about 220,000㎡, will include office spaces, commercial facilities, and cultural tourism facilities, which is expected to further increase demand.
As a large-scale knowledge industry center, this facility offers abundant community amenities. The on-site breakfast restaurant, created alongside a cafeteria, provides a morning meal service, allowing residents to enjoy hotel-style services. The step-up office features a tiered structure with individual terraces (in some units), creating a pleasant working environment. On the 7th floor, there is a large-scale work-life balance space including a jogging track approximately 240 meters long, landscaping, rest areas, and a YouTube room, maximizing employee satisfaction.
Additionally, 'DMC EspoK' is equipped with a state-of-the-art drive-in system allowing vehicle access up to the office from the 2nd to the 6th floors. The first floor of the complex includes a viewing deck, ecological pond, walking paths, and a kids park, which are expected to be highly popular among both users and investors.
A real estate expert explained, "Hyangdong District is already growing at a new town scale, and with its proximity to Sangam District, Changneung New Town, Eunpyeong-gu, and Samsong District, residents can enjoy the Seoul living zone. With improved transportation infrastructure, the regional value of Hyangdong District is expected to rise even further."
