Recently, investment fever toward knowledge industry centers has been heating up.

Amid this investment boom in knowledge industry centers, those that possess the "location, differentiation, and future value" trifecta are showing strong performance in the sales market.

Complexes built in excellent locations have a solid demand base due to robust transportation and convenience infrastructure, which facilitates cargo movement and employee hiring. Additionally, those with differentiated designs that enhance corporate work efficiency?such as drive-in systems, door-to-door systems, and live offices?and a diverse range of product types enjoy high preference among various companies. Furthermore, when large-scale development benefits such as industrial complex development and transportation network expansion are present nearby, future value can be anticipated.

A real estate expert stated, “As the popularity of knowledge industry centers in the real estate market rises, it is a time to distinguish the wheat from the chaff. It is most important to find knowledge industry centers that secure abundant corporate demand by possessing excellent location environments, differentiated designs, and future value.”
