SK hynix and Samsung Electronics are developing large-scale industrial complexes in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, to expand the semiconductor industry's infrastructure. As a result, a large number of companies specializing in related materials, components and equipment, as well as research facilities, are expected to move into the area, bringing significant changes to Yongin's housing market.

According to industry sources, investment plans totaling approximately 960 trillion won are being pursued in Yongin, centered on the two major semiconductor projects. Analysts say that the development of large-scale industrial facilities could affect the wider region, not only through corporate investment but also through related hiring, population inflows, and the expansion of housing and living infrastructure.

The semiconductor industry tends to cluster materials, components and equipment companies, as well as partner firms, around production facilities. Accordingly, as industrial complex development and company relocations gather momentum, commuting conditions and access to housing are expected to become key considerations for workers.

Two projects are currently underway in Yongin: the SK hynix Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex and Samsung Electronics' System Semiconductor National Industrial Complex.

The SK hynix general industrial complex is slated to house large-scale semiconductor production facilities, as well as domestic and international materials, components and equipment companies. Related materials indicate that global semiconductor equipment companies such as Tokyo Electron, ASML and Applied Materials, along with major Korean companies such as Wonik IPS, Soulbrain and Jusung Engineering, will participate in the industrial ecosystem.

As global equipment companies and domestic partner firms cluster in the area, an influx of workers from a range of occupations related to the industry is expected, in addition to employees at the production facilities. In turn, residential areas near the industrial complex could become an option for prospective homeowners seeking to live close to work and reduce their commuting time. As the area is being developed for both industrial and residential use, changes in housing demand resulting from company relocations and employment growth are also a factor to watch over the medium to long term.

Against this backdrop, Yongin Semiconductor Cluster Dongil Highvill Park Valley, to be built on Block D1-2 of the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex, is set to offer additional units in December.

Dongil Construction supplied 589 units in Phase 1 in August and plans to launch Phase 2, with 661 units, in December. Phase 2 will comprise six buildings, each with two basement levels and up to 20 floors above ground. It will offer four unit types: 59-square-meter types A and B, a 71-square-meter type B, and an 84-square-meter type A.

Phase 1 sold out soon after its launch. Once Phase 2 is completed, the two phases will form a Dongil Highvill-branded residential complex with a total of 1,250 units.

A key feature of the complex is that it is a multifamily housing development within the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex. Semiconductor industry workers and prospective homeowners hoping to live in the surrounding area are therefore seen as its main customer groups.

In addition, residential areas serving self-sufficient industrial complexes with a concentration of quality jobs have tended to see transportation networks and commercial and educational infrastructure expand rapidly as the population grows.

However, large-scale industrial complexes are developed in multiple stages, from construction of production facilities to company relocations, employment growth, and the expansion of transportation networks and living infrastructure. Their effects on the local housing market are therefore more likely to emerge over the medium to long term, depending on when industrial facilities begin operating and how company relocations progress, rather than appearing in the short term.

As industrial facilities and partner companies are expected to cluster in the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster in stages, the role of residential developments serving the industrial complex is also expected to grow in importance.

A Dongil Construction official said, "The Yongin Semiconductor Cluster is an area where large-scale semiconductor facilities and related companies are set to cluster. While demand for housing from industry workers is anticipated, the supply of multifamily housing is currently insufficient. We expect continued interest from prospective buyers who take into account the advantage of being close to the industrial complex, the limited housing supply, and the convenience of living there."

Meanwhile, the sales showroom for Phase 2 of Yongin Semiconductor Cluster Dongil Highvill Park Valley is scheduled to open in early December in Dongcheon-dong, Suji-gu, Yongin.
