SK Ecoplant Premium Housing Brand 'DEFINE Identity (BI)'. SK Ecoplant

SK Ecoplant's high-end residential brand 'DEFINE' is enhancing its distinctiveness through artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation (DT).

DEFINE is a brand name that combines the prefix 'DE,' used for emphasis, and 'FINE,' which signifies excellence and purity; at the same time, it borrows from the English word 'define.' The name carries the meaning of setting a new standard for life by defining the highest value in residential living. The brand differentiates itself from other apartment complexes by offering customized residential solutions, refined and minimalist architectural design, landscaping that provides healing and relaxation, community spaces for cultural experiences, and an AI system that learns residents' lifestyles to deliver an optimized living environment.

The company is also continuing 'The Finest Edition' campaign in collaboration with several high-end brands, allowing customers to indirectly experience the premium values DEFINE pursues. Various products such as coffee and branded goods are offered on-site at customer touchpoints, including model homes, move-in events, and community gatherings.

DEFINE also introduces eco-friendly technologies that have been uncommon in conventional apartments. With the development of the recycling waste management solution 'Pickle,' the company aims to address existing issues throughout the entire process of recycling waste—from disposal, collection, and transportation to resource recovery—using AI and digital transformation technologies. Residents of complexes equipped with Pickle can conveniently complete recycling by placing recyclable waste into chutes installed on each floor. The waste is then automatically transported and stored in a dedicated underground facility via pipes. An AI robot sorts the waste according to material, color, and level of contamination.

DEFINE marks its fifth year since launch. Last year, the company completed and filled occupancy for DEFINE Centum in Busan, and is preparing for the move-in of DEFINE Gwangalli in June this year. In January, pre-sales for DEFINE Yeonhui were completed. Going forward, the company plans to recruit residents for DEFINE Artia (Noryangjin New Town District 2) and La Classe JaedeFine (Noryangjin New Town District 6). Additional projects in Seoul, such as Gwangjang-dong Samsung Apartment, Sinbanpo 27th, and Noryangjin 7th District, will be introduced sequentially.
