'ePyeonhansesang City Hangdong Marina' Offering with a Distinctive View

- Residential officetel designed as the highest 39 floors with sea views (except some units)
- Securing views of the changing Incheon sea and cityscape through the Incheon Inner Port area redevelopment project

Residential complexes offering scenic views that provide a comfortable and highly satisfying living environment are gaining popularity among consumers. Scenic views serve as a driving force behind rising housing prices due to their strong demand and rarity, making them highly valued not only for actual residence but also as investment assets.

Among scenic views, natural location-based water (su) views are especially important as they are difficult to artificially create, establishing themselves as a key selection criterion. While the recent trend to expand urban parks and landscaped areas has increased the number of complexes with park and green space views, water views require rare locations such as seas, rivers, or lakes.

As evidence, many of Korea’s representative affluent neighborhoods primarily secure water views. For example, in Seoul, properties with views of the Han River command the highest prices. In the affluent Gangnam area, the most expensive homes are in Banpo-dong, where Han River views are secured, and in the northern part of the city, the priciest areas are around Ichon-dong in Yongsan-gu, also with Han River views.

The provinces are no exception. In Busan’s premier affluent district, Haeundae-gu, the highest property prices are found in Udong and Jung-dong areas with sea views. Similarly, in Gangwon’s Sokcho, Jeonnam’s Yeosu, Pohang’s Buk-gu, and Changwon’s Masanhappo-gu, complexes with sea views lead the local market prices.

Therefore, for stable home ownership, high residential satisfaction, and guaranteed asset value, it is advisable to target complexes that secure water (su) views.

A real estate industry insider stated, “There is even a court precedent that scenic views account for 20% of a home’s price, showing their significant impact on value. Price differences within the same complex depending on floor and orientation are due to this.” They advised, “Those considering home ownership or investment should prioritize complexes with scenic views, especially water (su) views.”

Among these, DL E&C’s residential officetel ‘e-Pyeonhansesang City Hangdong Marina,’ currently being sold in Incheon’s Jung-gu area, is attracting much attention. The complex is built up to 39 floors, allowing views of the Incheon sea (except for some units).

‘e-Pyeonhansesang City Hangdong Marina’ is a residential officetel located in Hangdong, Jung-gu, Incheon, consisting of four buildings from three basement levels to 39 floors above ground, with a total of 592 units of 82㎡ exclusive area.

A particularly notable feature of this complex is that it offers views not only of the current Incheon sea but also of the dramatically transformed Incheon sea area through the Incheon Inner Port redevelopment project. Considering the urban regeneration and district unit planning in the surrounding area, residents will also enjoy an excellent city view as an added benefit.

This is not just a simple scenic view; the redevelopment project is expected to elevate the complex into a landmark.

The location of ‘e-Pyeonhansesang City Hangdong Marina’ is within the Incheon Inner Port redevelopment zone. This area is planned to become one of five specialized districts comparable to Japan’s Yokohama waterfront space ‘Minato Mirai 21,’ including the Marine Culture District, Complex Business District, Open Residential District, Innovation Industry District, and Tourism Leisure District.

The complex is supplied by DL E&C as a residential officetel distinctly different from typical officetels. It features a 4-bay slab-type layout (except some units) rarely found in officetels, with a design that maximizes openness through high ceiling heights.

Inside the complex, an open dining kitchen combining the living room, kitchen, and dining area is designed to ensure efficient movement (except some units). Outside the complex, facilities such as a weather station indicating fine dust levels, fine dust reduction plantings, mist spraying installations, and air curtains at building entrances are planned, promising a comfortable living environment.

The convenience of nearby living infrastructure is also notable. The complex is close to educational institutions such as Sinseon Elementary, Sinheung Middle, and Sinheung Girls’ Middle Schools, as well as amenities including Inha University Hospital, E-Mart, Homeplus, cultural centers, and sports centers. Residents can also enjoy leisure activities in waterfront natural environments like Wolmi Theme Park, Saint Petersburg Square, and Namhang Neighborhood Park.

Commuting is easy to government offices such as Incheon Main Customs, Incheon Regional Procurement Service, Incheon Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office, and Jung-gu Office. The location also boasts convenient access to industrial complexes including CJ CheilJedang, Hyundai Doosan Infracore, Hyundai Steel, Dongkuk Steel, Incheon General Industrial Complex, and Juan National Industrial Complex.

A bus stop serving nine routes is adjacent to the complex, and residents can use Sungui Station on the Suin-Bundang Line, as well as Incheon Station and Dongincheon Station on Seoul Subway Line 1. Future improvements in transportation are expected with the planned Bupyeong Coastal Pier tram line.

The complex also minimizes financial burdens for buyers and investors. It is unaffected by the third stage of DSR regulations and offers a fixed first contract deposit of 10 million KRW.

Unlike housing, owning this officetel does not affect eligibility as a ‘non-homeowner’ for future apartment subscription, nor is it subject to regulations on multiple home ownership, re-subscription restrictions, residence area, or mandatory residence periods. This makes it an optimal choice for both home ownership and real estate investment.
