Supply of Knowledge Industry Center 'Pyeongtaek JH Tower' in Pyeongtaek, the Leading Industrial City in the Southern Seoul Metropolitan Area

In Pyeongtaek, a leading industrial city in the southern metropolitan area, the knowledge industry center 'Pyeongtaek JH Tower' is scheduled to be supplied in August, attracting the attention of demanders.

'Pyeongtaek JH Tower' will be located in Mogok-dong, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, with a total of 374 units from basement level 1 to ground level 12. Neighborhood living facilities will be on the first floor.

The complex boasts abundant corporate demand. First, there is a rich demand from companies centered around large industrial complexes such as Samsung Electronics Pyeongtaek Campus, Brain City, Songtan General Industrial Complex, and Chilgoe General Industrial Complex. Additionally, the surrounding area is a dense region with about 150 companies over 30,000 pyeong and approximately 5,600 workers, where many low-rise factories over 30 years old are located, indicating a solid underlying demand for the latest knowledge industry center. Furthermore, being located within the Songtan General Industrial Complex, it offers excellent industrial connectivity, facilitating synergy among partner companies and easy formation of industrial clusters.

The essential transportation conditions for a knowledge industry center are also favorable. Nearby are Seojeong-ri Station on Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1 and Jije Station, where Line 1 and SRT stop, making travel convenient not only to Seoul and the metropolitan area but also nationwide. In particular, the KTX direct connection project from Suwon, linking Seojeong-ri Station and Jije Station, is underway, which is expected to further improve the railway network. Additionally, using Pyeongtaek-Godeok IC and Songtan IC on the Pyeongtaek-Jecheon Expressway allows access to the Seohaean Expressway and Gyeongbu Expressway, providing an excellent wide-area road network.

Inside the knowledge industry center, various specialized designs that enhance work efficiency will be applied. First, Drive-in and Door-to-door parking are introduced, designed not only for vehicles to enter the parking lot but also to allow access directly in front of individual floors or units, minimizing inconvenience for workers' movement and maximizing convenience for cargo loading. The floor height reaches 5.6 to 6 meters, offering a spacious open feel and enabling various space utilizations such as duplex types.

Also, the recently spotlighted small-scale enterprise specialized product, the 'Live-type Office,' will be introduced. The Live-type Office is a complex office where work and rest are possible simultaneously, a new concept office specialized for 1-2 person startups or rental investors.

The complex will provide various exercise and convenience facilities such as a rooftop garden and sky garden on the 9th floor, fitness center, rest areas, and meeting rooms, enhancing the business dimension and offering services that maximize work efficiency.

Various tax benefits are also provided. Unlike apartments, knowledge industry centers do not require subscription savings accounts and have no resale restrictions. Loan regulations such as DSR do not apply, making financing easier. In particular, various tax reduction benefits such as 50% acquisition tax and 37.5% property tax reductions will be provided to tenant companies until December 31, 2022, and value-added tax refunds are available for newly purchased units. Moreover, since tenant companies tend to lease for long periods once settled, stable rental income can be expected, and loans can cover up to 70-80% of the sale price.

Meanwhile, Pyeongtaek JH Tower is scheduled to open in August, with a model house and promotional center to be established.
