'Dongtan Station The ATR Prestige' Officetel in the Syeosegwon Area Draws Attention View original image

The real estate market in the so-called "Syeosegwon" area, which is backed by large-scale job hubs such as Samsung Electronics' Giheung and Hwaseong Campuses and the Yongin Advanced System Semiconductor National Industrial Complex, is demonstrating a distinctively strong performance. According to data from the Korea Real Estate Board, the cumulative apartment sales price increase rate in Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong City this year has reached 4.48%, significantly surpassing the 3.68% seen in the Seoul area. In the fourth week of May, apartment prices in the area surged by 0.49% compared to the previous week, marking the steepest rise nationwide. This upward trend has been primarily driven by the robust live-work proximity and improved accessibility to Seoul following the opening of the GTX-A and SRT lines.


With the combination of abundant job opportunities and transportation infrastructure, key complexes near Dongtan Station, such as Dongtan Station Lotte Castle, Dongtan Station Bando Yubora Ivy Park 6.0, and Dongtan Linstraus The Lake, have been setting new record-high prices day after day, confirming the area's strong residential appeal. As the rise in apartment prices has increased the burden of loans and financing, buyers are increasingly turning their attention to residential officetels, which share the same Dongtan Station lifestyle infrastructure but have a relatively lower barrier to entry.


'Dongtan Station The ATR Prestige' by Daebang Construction is a large-scale mixed-use complex that combines apartments, residential officetels, office, and commercial facilities. In addition to its geographical advantage adjacent to the train station, the complex offers a large multiplex cinema and a diverse range of retail stores, allowing residents to enjoy both living and cultural experiences in a convenient, one-stop setting.


The residential officetels in this complex feature a three-bay and three-room layout based on an exclusive area of 84㎡, offering an interior space comparable to that of a medium-sized apartment. Features such as a pantry and dressing room for ample storage, along with high living room ceilings that maximize openness, further enhance its appeal.


Recently, officetels have rapidly adopted apartment-style floor plans and premium storage-focused designs, positioning themselves as a key option for pragmatic buyers who find it difficult to enter the high-priced apartment market but still seek a comparable standard of living.


Above all, the reasonable supply conditions compared to surrounding apartments are drawing strong interest from consumers. Some remaining units currently offer tailored benefits and deferred payment options that significantly reduce the initial financing burden for genuine buyers, generating a positive market response.


Residential officetels are evolving beyond their previous limited reputation as income-generating real estate, now featuring excellent floor plans and a variety of community amenities to serve as outstanding alternatives to apartments. Especially in self-sufficient cities like Dongtan, where high-quality jobs are concentrated, these officetels are expected to be a realistic and attractive choice for young professionals and newlyweds with relatively low subscription scores, as they can secure both urban infrastructure and residential stability.



The model house for the residential officetels at 'Dongtan Station The ATR Prestige' is located in Yeoul-dong, Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi Province.
