Rising Interest Rates... 'Billive The Able' Attracts Attention for Financial Benefits

As the burden on real estate demanders increases due to the high interest rate trend, complexes offering financial benefits are gaining attention. Globally, with continuous interest rate hikes such as the ‘Giant Step’ and ‘Big Step,’ the real estate market, closely linked to interest rates, is also moving accordingly.

According to the ‘Weighted Average Interest Rate of Financial Institutions’ statistics announced by the Bank of Korea on the 29th, the household loan interest rate of deposit banks in October rose by 0.19 percentage points in one month to an annual rate of 5.34%. This is the highest level since June 2012, when it was 5.38%. The upper limit of mortgage loan interest rates is also threatening to exceed 8%. The mortgage loan interest rate among household loans is 4.82%, the highest since May 2012’s 4.85%.

This is the result of the Bank of Korea raising the base interest rate from 1.75% to 2.25% last July, then making another big step three months later to 3.0%. In November, it took a baby step by raising it 0.25%, marking six consecutive increases in the base rate.

As the housing sales market became chaotic due to this, construction companies are stepping in to reduce the financial burden on demanders. In particular, amid a structure where new housing prices inevitably rise due to increased construction costs, the interest-free interim payment option is quite attractive. Since the construction company or developer bears the interest, the contract holder does not need to pay any additional funds other than the deposit until moving in.

In this atmosphere, ‘Billive The Able,’ being built in the Mapo-gu area of Seoul, offers an interest-free interim payment benefit.

The complex is constructed with one building ranging from six basement floors to 23 above-ground floors, consisting of 299 urban lifestyle housing units (including rentals) and 34 officetel units.

The ‘Billive The Able’ complex is characterized by significantly reducing the financial burden on demanders by providing an interest-free interim payment benefit. Additionally, it offers full-option free amenities such as ceiling-type system air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, kitchen ovens, and island dining tables, allowing contract holders to expect an actual reduction effect on the sale price.

While greatly lowering the cost burden for demanders, the complex applies the sophisticated and luxurious product design unique to Shinsegae Construction’s residential brand ‘Billive’ both inside and out.

The interior is composed of small to medium-sized units with exclusive areas of 38 to 49 square meters, catering to the recently increased number of one- to two-person households. Furthermore, it applies a ceiling height of 2.6 meters, which is 30 cm higher than typical apartments, maximizing the sense of space and openness. High-end living brands such as the German famous furniture brand ‘Nolte’ and the Italian faucet brand ‘Gessi’ are applied throughout, adding a touch of luxury.

Concierge services that make residents’ living more convenient are also provided. To offer premium services, a separate concierge desk is operated, assisting with various service reservations and supporting residents’ daily convenience, allowing them to enjoy a refined lifestyle.

Exceptional community facilities are also established. The entire floor is equipped with private shower rooms, fitness and GX rooms, screen golf, private offices divided into independent spaces, lounges for relaxation and leisure, and a rooftop. A gallery lobby is designed to create a comfortable and luxurious resting space.

The highly preferred station-area location also attracts demanders’ attention.

‘Billive The Able’ is located midway between Sinchon Station and Seogang University Station, allowing access to both Line 2 and the Gyeongui-Jungang Line. Using Line 2, it takes about 10 minutes to reach Seoul’s main business district CBD (Jongno and Jung-gu business districts) and about 30 minutes to reach GBD (Gangnam business district). Through the Gyeongui-Jungang Line, it is possible to go directly to DMC (Digital Media City), a content production and distribution business complex, which has received great response from office worker demanders.

Moreover, various convenience facilities are formed around the subway stations, allowing close access to shopping and cultural facilities such as Hyundai Department Store, E-Mart, CGV, as well as infrastructure like Sinchon Severance Hospital and the Gyeongui Line Forest Trail.
