[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] Himchan Construction announced on the 6th that it plans to launch the residential officetel Dongtan Station Herium Central in the Munhwa Design Valley of Dongtan 2 New Town, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do, later this month.
Dongtan Station Herium Central is located within the Munhwa Design Valley on three blocks of Dongtan general commercial land (Blocks 9-4, 9-5, and 15-1). It consists of three buildings from basement level 4 to ground level 10, with a total of 450 units ranging from 59 to 72㎡ in exclusive area.
Dongtan 2 New Town is being developed on a total site area of 24,027,676㎡, centered around seven special planning zones including Dongtan Technovalley, Community Pilot Complex, Metropolitan Business Complex, Munhwa Design Valley, Waterfront Complex, Medical Welfare Facilities, and New Residential Culture Town. Since the first simultaneous sale of 4,103 households in the Community Pilot Complex in August 2012, Dongtan 2 New Town has grown into a representative new town in the southern metropolitan area with about 110,000 households and approximately 280,000 residents.
Munhwa Design Valley is being established to foster international art, cultural spaces, and content design industries. Dongtan Station Herium Central, one of the last sales in Munhwa Design Valley, offers 2-3 room units designed comfortably for families of 2 to 4 members. No subscription savings account is required, and winners are selected by 100% lottery, increasing the chances of winning.
The location conditions are also favorable. Around Dongtan Station, Lotte Department Store and various commercial facilities are available, and nearby Dongtan Station Herium Central, E-Mart Traders (planned) and Gyeonggi Education Library (planned) will be established. Major corporations such as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Doosan Heavy Industries, as well as Dongtan Technovalley and Hwaseong General Industrial Complex, provide a strong demand base nearby.
Close by is the SRT (Suseo High-Speed Railway) Dongtan Station, with about a 20-minute travel time from Dongtan Station to Seoul Suseo Station. Additionally, Dongtan Station is scheduled to open the GTX-A (Metropolitan Express Railway) line, Indeokwon-Dongtan Line (double-track subway), and Dongtan Tram (streetcar running on rails on the road).
Access to major road networks such as Dongtan-daero and Dongtan Circular Road in Dongtan 2 New Town is easy, and the Gyeongbu Expressway and the Dongtan Junction of the Metropolitan Area 2nd Ring Expressway are adjacent, allowing quick travel to other regions. A development project is also underway to underground the 1.21 km section between Giheung-Dongtan Interchange and Dongtan Junction on the Gyeongbu Expressway.
Residents can also enjoy a pleasant natural environment. Following the undergrounding project of the Gyeongbu Expressway, a park will be created nearby, and Dongtan Yeoul Park, Dongtan Lake Park, Sinri Stream, Wangbae Mountain, and Ribera Country Club are adjacent.
A sales official stated, “Dongtan 2 New Town is a self-sufficient city combining advanced industry, residence, culture, education, and business. Infrastructure such as transportation and convenience facilities is already in place, and with the increasing jobs in Dongtan Technovalley and surrounding industrial complexes, as well as ongoing development of metropolitan transportation networks like GTX and trams, it is a place with high future value as well as for actual residence.”
The sales promotion center is scheduled to be established in the Osan-dong area of Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do.
