In the Seoul metropolitan housing market, homebuyers are placing greater value on both the convenience of living in a home and the potential for asset appreciation. As a result, location criteria are shifting beyond simple proximity to a subway station toward “real future value” driven by a combination of regional transport networks and employment opportunities.

Once little more than bedroom communities, cities in southern Gyeonggi Province are rapidly transforming into self-sustaining economic hubs with quality jobs, as semiconductor mega-clusters and advanced industrial belts take shape, particularly around Yongin.

Against this backdrop, The Platinum Penta One at Giheung Station, located in Singal-dong, Giheung-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, will open its sales gallery this month and begin full-scale sales. The Giheung-Singal area, where the complex is located, is emerging as a major residential area serving southern Yongin, as construction of the key development project, Gyeonggi Yongin Platform City, gathers pace alongside the already-open Guseong Station on the GTX-A line.

The major development project drawing the most attention is Gyeonggi Yongin Platform City, now under construction near the complex. A key project for Yongin, Platform City will cover approximately 2.73 million square meters (about 830,000 pyeong) and involve a total investment of 8.268 trillion won. Construction began in 2025, and work on its smart-city design and development is currently progressing smoothly. Targeted for completion in 2030, the project will be developed as an advanced knowledge-industry and mixed-use hub, with residential facilities for more than 10,000 households and the potential to create approximately 55,000 jobs. Once complete, the Giheung area is expected to become a new economic and transportation hub in the southern Seoul metropolitan area.

Transport links are also well established. Residents can use Giheung Station, served by the Suin-Bundang Line and the Yongin Everline, while the opening of Guseong Station on the GTX-A line has greatly improved access to Seoul. Plans to launch the M4166 express bus route connecting the area to Seoul Station, as well as to build a multimodal transfer facility near Guseong Station, are expected to further strengthen the area’s role as a transportation hub.

Daily amenities and educational facilities are also well established. Singal Elementary School is directly across from the complex, while Singal Middle School and Giheung High School are within walking distance, providing children with a safe commute to school. Residents will also have convenient access to existing one-stop amenities in Singal-dong, including Lotte Mart’s Singal branch, the Giheung-gu Office, and Gangnam General Hospital. With the smart urban regeneration project around Singal Ogeori recently completed, residents can enjoy an even more orderly living environment.

The Platinum Penta One at Giheung Station will comprise three basement levels and 20 above-ground floors, with a total of 304 households. It will offer mid-sized units with exclusive areas of 77, 82, and 83 square meters, which are popular among homebuyers seeking a primary residence. The complex will provide 350 parking spaces, or 1.15 spaces per household. It will also include a range of resident amenities, such as a childcare center, children’s playground, and senior center.

A representative at the site said, “The Giheung-Singal area is being recognized anew as one of Yongin’s emerging residential centers, as the already-open Guseong Station on the GTX-A line and the Platform City development, which is progressing toward its target completion in 2030, come together. Interest from homebuyers continues, as this new housing offering combines established educational and daily-life amenities with the potential value of future development.”
