[2026 Asia Construction Awards] 'Hillstate Godeok' to Form Massive 4,500-Unit Branded Town

21st Asia Construction Awards
Representative Award in Architecture from The Asia Business Daily
Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s Hillstate Godeok Elist

Hyundai Engineering & Construction has received the Representative Award of The Asia Business Daily in the Architecture category at the 21st Asia Construction Awards for its ‘Hillstate Godeok Elist’ residential complex project underway at Godeok International City in Pyeongtaek. The new apartments will be built on blocks A12 and 65 of Godeok International City, with 942 units in Block 12 and 837 units in Block 65. Additional apartments bearing the same name will also be constructed in the adjacent Blocks 31, 34, and 35, and when all are completed and occupied, the overall Hillstate Godeok Elist development is expected to form a branded town of around 4,500 households.

The new apartments will feature a predominance of the 4-bay flat-panel layout to maximize natural light and ventilation efficiency. Ample storage has been provided inside, including spacious master bedroom dressing rooms and entrance pantries. Every unit will offer a versatile ‘alpha room’ for flexible use of space. Dedicated storage rooms for each unit will be provided separately to accommodate bulky items such as camping equipment, bicycles, and vacuum cleaners. The complex will also include a variety of shared facilities for residents, such as an indoor playground with air purification technology, a fitness center, indoor golf range, GX room, showers, and a small library. Daycare centers, senior citizen centers, and care centers will be located throughout the blocks.

Another key feature is the efficient kitchen layout designed for comfortable daily traffic flow, along with the ability to flexibly configure spaces to suit each resident’s preferences. The ratio of landscaping within the complex has been raised to around 40% to ensure a nature-friendly living environment even within the city. The maximum distance between apartment buildings will reach up to 148 meters, ensuring unobstructed views and plenty of natural sunlight.

Godeok International City is being developed as a self-sufficient mini new town where administration, education, and industry are combined, and it will soon feature an administrative town with the new Pyeongtaek City Hall and a central commercial area. There are elementary, middle, and high schools nearby, with two new elementary schools opening. An ‘edu-town’ with a newly established international school is also close by. The complex is situated close to Samsung Electronics’ Pyeongtaek Campus, making it ideal for residents seeking proximity between home and workplace, with demand expected to increase as residents move in.

The complex has convenient access to Seojeong-ri Station on Line 1 and Pyeongtaek Jije Station on the high-speed railway. An express bus (BRT) route with stops near the complex will also be established. The Suwon-originated KTX direct line project, which is set to open early next year, will further improve access to Seoul, Anyang, Suwon, and other neighboring metropolitan areas.
