Ssangyong Engineering & Construction opened a model home for Ssangyong The Platinum Hangang on October 8 in Yongdam-ri, Yangseo-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi Province, and officially began sales. On opening day, prospective buyers who had been waiting for the sales launch lined up from the entrance, forming a long queue.

The development is the first branded complex with more than 300 households to be built in the Dumulmeori area. It will comprise 333 households across six buildings, rising from two basement levels to a maximum of 19 floors. The complex will primarily offer medium- and large-sized homes, which are popular with end-users. Unit sizes will include 74㎡, 84㎡ types A, B and C, 123㎡, and 146㎡ type P. The 146㎡ type P, in particular, will be offered as a penthouse, a rare property in the area.

The model home remained busy throughout the day with visitors eager to see the complex’s features. Yangsu Station on the Gyeongui-Jungang Line is about a three-minute walk away. By express train, residents can reach Sangbong Station from Yangsu Station in around 27 minutes, Wangsimni Station in around 30 minutes, and the Gangnam area in around 50 minutes. By car, Hanam is about 15 minutes away, Songpa about 30 minutes, and Gangnam about 40 minutes. The complex also offers access to amenities in Hanam, including Starfield and Shinsegae Department Store.

The distinctive educational environment also caught the attention of parents visiting the model home. Yangsu Elementary School and its attached kindergarten, as well as Yangsu Middle School, are right in front of the complex. Prestigious Yangseo High School, which operates dormitories for all students and is eligible for the special admissions track for students from rural areas, is also nearby. In addition, taking into account the shortage of childcare facilities in the Dumulmeori area, the developer plans to build a separate daycare center within the complex. This is expected to give residents access to a one-stop educational environment, from early childhood through adolescence.

A prospective buyer in their 30s who visited the site said, “I liked how easy it is to get to Seoul, with Yangsu Station nearby and Wangsimni Station reachable in around 30 minutes. I’m also keeping an eye on the nearby elementary, middle and high schools, the planned standalone daycare center within the complex, and the fact that Yangseo High School, which is eligible for the rural-area admissions track, is close by. It means we could stay in one place for a long time without having to move.”

The area’s pristine natural environment, considered exceptional in the Seoul metropolitan region, is another strength. The area around Yangseo-myeon, where the complex is located, is protected by multiple regulations, including its designation as a Natural Environment Conservation Area, a Zone 1 Special Measures Area for Water Quality Conservation, and part of the Paldang Water Source Protection Zone. These protections have helped preserve its clean environment. Nearby Semiwon, Gyeonggi Province’s first local garden, is being developed in connection with Dumulmeori, with the aim of becoming the Seoul metropolitan region’s first national garden. The area also features expansive green spaces totaling about 340,000 pyeong, including Mului Garden and Yongdam Waterside Ecological Park.

Visitors who toured the units also gave them favorable reviews. The complex will be the first in Yangseo-myeon to offer storage rooms for some households, and its glass railings and panoramic-view design are intended to maximize the double river views of the Bukhangang and Namhangang rivers available to some households. The development will be a park-style complex with no vehicles above ground and will provide ample parking, with 1.42 spaces per household. Its high-end community facilities, uncommon in the area, will include a screen golf practice range, fitness center, multi-purpose room and cafeteria.

Visitors also responded positively to contract terms designed to reduce the financial burden on end-users and what were described as reasonable sale prices. While apartment prices for new developments have continued to climb, prices at Ssangyong The Platinum Hangang start in the KRW 500 million range for 74㎡ units and the KRW 600 million range for 84㎡ units, making the complex competitive with other newly launched developments in the Seoul metropolitan region, according to assessments. The contract deposit is set at 5% of the total sale price. Buyers can also pay a fixed KRW 5 million for the first installment of the deposit and obtain a loan for the full interim payment, easing the initial financial burden.

The complex also offers the advantages of being in a non-regulated area. Applicants who have held a housing subscription savings account for at least 12 months qualify for first-priority status. There is no mandatory owner-occupancy period or restriction on re-winning a subscription, and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of up to 70% apply, rising to 80% for first-time homebuyers. The resale restriction also ends six months after the announcement of the winners.

The development appears to be attracting end-users seeking a nature-friendly home where they can enjoy the convenience of urban infrastructure and unwind completely after work.

A Ssangyong Engineering & Construction official said, “Since the model home opened, visitors have continued to come to see the location and the homes for themselves. With the distinction of being the first branded complex of more than 300 households in Dumulmeori, as well as its prime location right by Yangsu Station and one-stop educational environment, we will work to make it a landmark representing the area.”

Applications for Ssangyong The Platinum Hangang will be accepted on October 12 (Monday) for special supply, October 13 (Tuesday) for first-priority applicants, and October 14 (Wednesday) for second-priority applicants. Winners will be announced on October 20 (Tuesday), and contracts will be signed over three days, from November 2 (Monday) to November 4 (Wednesday). The model home is located in Yongdam-ri, Yangseo-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi Province.
