All the Best of a Traditional Prime Site with Ocean and River Views... High-End 'Altiero Gwang-an'

Baesanimsoo: Always Cited as a Prime Residential Site Throughout History, Drawing Ongoing Interest from High-Net-Worth Individuals

Altiero Gwang-an: A Classic Baesanimsoo Location with Baeksan Mountain to the North and Gwangalli Beach to the South

Regardless of the era, homebuyers have consistently regarded “baesanimsoo” (a geomantic ideal where a mountain shelters from behind and water flows in front, attracting wealth) as an essential condition for a prime residential site. This perception is still prevalent in the current real estate market, with baesanimsoo locations firmly established as an absolute standard for choosing a place to live.

An exemplary case of baesanimsoo is Seoul's Hannam-dong. In Hannam-dong, Namsan Mountain serves as the main mountain at the back, and the Han River encircles the residential area, creating a classic baesanimsoo setting. Hannam-dong stands out as one of Korea's premier affluent neighborhoods, known to be home to many conglomerate leaders.

Given the long-standing belief that wealth gathers in baesanimsoo locations and the persistent interest among high-net-worth individuals, attention is now focused on a residential complex currently under development in a baesanimsoo site in Busan.

The centerpiece is Altiero Gwang-an, which is being built on the former site of Busan MBC. Planned for 316-2 Millak-dong, Suyeong-gu, Busan, the project will consist of 366 units with exclusive areas ranging from 151 to 191 square meters, in buildings as high as 27 stories.

A prime site proven by geomancy...Specialized designs allow for both ocean and river views at once

The most noteworthy aspect of Altiero Gwang-an is, without a doubt, its location. It is situated on a baesanimsoo site, recognized as a geomantic ideal for generations. To the north, Baeksan Mountain provides a stable natural backdrop, while to the south, Gwangalli Beach unfolds. The tranquil energy of the mountains harmonizes with the dynamic vitality of the sea, earning the complex recognition as a prime site. To maximize these locational advantages, many of the units will feature specialized designs that offer both ocean and river views simultaneously.

Altiero Gwang-an is expected to distinguish itself even further by combining a prime site with world-class design. The name “ALTIERO” is Italian for “noble” and “topmost,” and the development aims to live up to this with ultra-luxury product quality.

Global design firm Perkins Eastman is participating in the façade-specialized architectural design, while internationally renowned landscape architecture firm PWP will collaborate on transforming the grounds into an artistic space. In addition, lighting design by bpi, the largest lighting design company in the United States, will further enhance the quality of nightscapes.

Inside the residential units, residents will enjoy a hyper-end lifestyle thanks to the inclusion of premium Italian designer kitchens, the highest quality Scandinavian hardwood flooring, Italian luxury bathroom fittings, and other high-end finishes.

Altiero Gwang-an also offers outstanding accessibility. Residents benefit from convenient public transport and can enjoy the lively Gwang-an commercial district on foot, providing a high level of everyday convenience. The Gwangan Bridge offers easy access to key east Busan regions including Haeundae and Centum City, while the Gwangnam-ro expressway provides fast transportation connectivity throughout Busan, earning the site strong marks for accessibility.

Additionally, the surrounding Millak and Gwangan-dong area is undergoing large-scale redevelopment and reconstruction projects that will add around 12,000 new residences, transforming it into a significant new residential town. As a result, improvements to the residential environment, expansion of living infrastructure, and rising local property values are expected. Combined with the symbolic significance of the former MBC site, Altiero Gwang-an is drawing attention as the flagship project of the area.

With the rise of high-end residential culture, living spaces combining symbolic geographic status with rare, distinctive design are expected to attract strong interest from discerning buyers, surpassing mere residential needs.

A representative from the sales team remarked, “If scenic views are a modern concern, baesanimsoo is a value that transcends all eras. Altiero Gwang-an allows residents to enjoy the energy of a prime site while also owning both ocean and river views. This means it fulfills both past and present values, setting it apart and driving ongoing inquiries.”

Meanwhile, the Altiero Gwang-an gallery is located in U-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan.
