‘The Sharp Geochang Porsiel 2nd Phase’ Special Supply on the 4th... POSCO Construction Smart Technology ‘IQTEC’ Applied

As the post-COVID-19 era emphasizes comfortable and safe living environments, POSCO Engineering & Construction's smart technology 'AiQ TECH' applied to the 'The Sharp' brand is attracting the attention of consumers.

AiQ TECH is a smart technology brand in the housing sector launched by POSCO Engineering & Construction in 2019, the first in the construction industry. It integrates artificial intelligence (AI) with intelligence quotient (IQ) and emotional quotient (EQ). Through The Sharp cloud platform, it connects with KakaoTalk, telecom companies, Samsung Electronics, and others to provide various services related to convenience (AiQ Convenience), safety (AiQ Safety), and health (AiQ Health).

The popularity of AiQ TECH is especially prominent in the sales market, with The Sharp brand apartments adopting this technology recently recording excellent subscription results. For example, earlier this month in Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, the 'Pyeongchon Urbain First The Sharp' received 2,112 applications for 156 units in the first-priority subscription, achieving an average competition rate of 13.5 to 1. In January this year, 'The Sharp Primo Seonghwang' supplied as a private rental apartment in Gwangyang-si, Jeollanam-do, also showed a high competition rate of 117 to 1 in tenant recruitment subscriptions. Both complexes highlighted the application of AiQ TECH as a strength and boasted high residential convenience, capturing the hearts of consumers.

An industry insider said, "The housing market is being reorganized around actual demanders, and as convenience for residents becomes an important factor in apartment selection, complexes with cutting-edge technology are gaining popularity. AiQ TECH, the industry's first specialized system, is attracting attention for providing various services related to convenience, safety, and health, and it enjoys high preference among housing consumers."

Meanwhile, POSCO Engineering & Construction's 'The Sharp Geochang Porciel Phase 2,' which is conducting special supply in Geochang, Gyeongnam today (4th), will also apply the AiQ TECH system. The first-priority subscription will be held on July 5, and the second-priority subscription on July 6. The announcement of winners will be on the 12th, and the official contract period will be from the 26th to the 29th, lasting four days.

The Sharp Geochang Porciel Phase 2 boasts a high level of completeness different from other complexes in Geochang based on the AiQ TECH system. Residents can control lighting, heating, gas, and ventilation outside the home using a smartphone, and UV-C LED sterilization lights are installed inside the elevators. This will remove fine viruses and bacteria, creating a comfortable complex environment. Additionally, electric vehicle charging facilities have been installed to enhance residential convenience.

The differentiated design unique to this complex with The Sharp brand is also remarkable. The complex layout is mainly south-facing for all units, facilitating lighting and ventilation. Depending on the type, a 4 to 4.5 Bay slab-type cross-ventilation design or a 2 to 3-side open structure is applied. Furthermore, each unit applies The Sharp's medium-to-large development floor plans tailored to new trend living spaces, including kitchen direct access flow, biophilic terraces, and scenic master rooms. The kitchen is also designed to reflect trends with open kitchens, independent dining areas, and premium kitchen furniture. Additionally, ample storage spaces such as alpha rooms, dressing rooms, and pantries are provided.

The community facilities are divided into a sports zone with G.X, Pilates, fitness, indoor golf practice range, and coin laundry; an edu zone with study rooms, book cafes, and kids' playrooms; and a public zone with senior centers, daycare centers, and residents' meeting rooms. These diverse community facilities allow residents to engage in exercise, study, leisure, and other activities without going far.

The Sharp Geochang Porciel Phase 2 is located in Gaji-ri, Geochang-eup, Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam, consisting of six buildings from two basement floors to 20 floors above ground, with 443 units ranging from 84 to 158 square meters in exclusive area.

'The Sharp Geochang Porciel Phase 2' is currently operating a model house, and information about the complex can also be found in the cyber model house posted on the website.
