VIEW is Valuable... Spotlight on 'The Sharp Sinmun Greenity' with Pleasant Views
- View Premium with Open Views Establishes Itself as a Leading Apartment Nationwide
- Increased Interest in Sale Complexes like The Sharp Sinmun Greenity with Double River and Mountain Views
The popularity of natural views in the real estate market continues to soar. As the housing market is reorganized around actual demand, the value of views that offer a wide-open feeling and pleasant nature is increasing. Moreover, many complexes with natural scenery are surrounded by parks and walking trails, making them highly preferred by buyers and establishing these view-equipped complexes as flagship apartments representing their regions.
Across the country, complexes with scenic views have become leading complexes driving local market prices. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's real transaction price disclosure system, an 84㎡ unit in ‘Sokcho Cheongho I-Park’ located in Sokcho City, Gangwon Province, was traded for 690 million KRW last month, marking the highest price this year for the standard unit size in Sokcho. This complex attracted attention for its views of Seoraksan Mountain and Cheongchoho East Sea.
Similarly, the 84㎡ unit of Gwangyang Dongmun D-East (completed in 2023) in Gwangyang City, Jeollanam-do, which boasts views of Gayasan Mountain and the South Sea, was traded for 478.05 million KRW in August, ranking highest among 84㎡ units sold in Gwangyang this year.
The reason why view-equipped complexes are gaining attention is that residential comfort has become an important factor in choosing a residence after the pandemic. According to the ‘2025 Future Housing Trends’ report by the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements, ‘residential comfort’ accounted for 33%, the highest figure among factors influencing future residential choices.
In a survey conducted by the real estate information platform Zigbang with 1,517 app users, 31.6% of respondents chose ‘comfort, proximity to parks, and forest access’ as the most important factors when selecting a living space after COVID-19. This figure surpasses proximity to convenience facilities (13.1%) and transportation convenience (12.7%).
An industry insider said, “Complexes that offer permanent natural views within the premises are rare and show high residential satisfaction, making them very popular. Since the number of buyers who prioritize views for residential comfort has rapidly increased after the pandemic, the value of complexes with views will continue to rise.”
As views have become an important factor in choosing a residence, ‘The Sharp Sinmun Greenity’ by POSCO E&C, currently being sold in Gimhae City, Gyeongsangnam-do, is attracting buyers’ attention with its double view conditions.
Located in Block A7-1 of Sinmun 1 Urban Development Zone in Gimhae City, Gyeongsangnam-do, ‘The Sharp Sinmun Greenity’ is a landmark large-scale complex under the The Sharp brand, consisting of 10 buildings ranging from 3 basement floors to a maximum of 29 floors above ground, with a total of 1,146 apartments sized between 84 and 102㎡. The units are composed of 652 units of 84㎡ and 494 units of 102㎡, making it a rare mid-to-large sized complex.
The biggest advantage of ‘The Sharp Sinmun Greenity’ is its double view of river and mountain. Yongdusan and Banryongsan Mountains are located near the complex, providing a pleasant green environment. To the north of the complex flows the Daecheongcheon Stream, and to the east flows the Jomangang River, allowing views of Daecheongcheon and Yongdusan depending on the unit type. Additionally, a waterside park trail is planned along Daecheongcheon near the complex, which will further enhance the residential environment.
The complex also boasts excellent transportation conditions. Sinmun 1 District, where the complex is located, is a key transportation hub connecting the metropolitan areas of Busan and Changwon. By car, it is easy to access major neighboring cities such as Seongsan-gu in Changwon and Seo-gu in Busan via Namhae Expressway’s 2nd and 3rd branches, Jangyu IC, Seo Gimhae IC, Changwon 1 & 2 tunnels, and National Road No. 58.
Notably, the double-track railway from Bujeon to Masan passing near Jangyu Station is expected to open as early as next year, and the Jangyu Passenger Terminal, located about 1 km from the complex, is under construction with a completion target this year. The terminal will consist of an intercity bus terminal spanning from basement level 1 to the 4th floor and commercial facilities from basement level 2 to the 5th floor.
All units in the complex are primarily south-facing, and every unit includes a highly functional alpha room, entrance storage, and The Sharp’s specialized product, the care room. Furthermore, various specialized floor plans have been introduced considering diverse buyer preferences, including room-in-room designs and children’s room dress rooms. The complex also focuses on ample storage spaces such as pantries and built-in wardrobes, and applies eco-friendly, resource-recycling finishing materials across all unit types.
The community facilities, which The Sharp prides itself on, also enhance the value of the complex. The complex will feature a terrace-style ‘guest house’ where outdoor tea parties and small gatherings can be held, the first of its kind in the Jangyu and Yulha areas of Gimhae. Additionally, the community lobby will include a caf? space called The Sharp Lounge, a golf practice range equipped with GDR and screens, Pilates/GX rooms, hot and cold saunas, coin laundry, and a small open library, maximizing convenience for residents.
