Since the start of the 4th Industrial Revolution, which has been continuously advancing, the real estate sector is also experiencing changes aligned with this trend. Various transformations are taking place, such as integrating cutting-edge technologies based on the 4th Industrial Revolution into the real estate field and introducing designs for new media-related industries.
Among real estate types, office spaces and knowledge industry centers, which are commercial real estate, are particularly embracing the changes brought by the 4th Industrial Revolution. With the increase of media-related industries like the metaverse and YouTube, newly emerging commercial real estate spaces are showcasing designs tailored to these trends.
These changes have spread mainly around Sangam DMC (Digital Media City), where the media industry and information technology sectors of the 4th Industrial Revolution are concentrated. However, since many tenants have already settled in Sangam DMC, surrounding areas such as Hyangdong District and Magok District are also being influenced by these media-related changes.
Recently, Hyangdong District in Goyang, a hot topic in the metropolitan real estate market, first established a residential environment and has recently seen the emergence of office facilities, attracting significant interest from many tenants and businesspeople. It is not only very close to Sangam DMC but also located just below Changneung New Town, a 3rd generation new town, making it known as a business-centered area.
In this context, ‘DMC Citywalk,’ located in the station area of Hyangdong Station in Goyang’s Hyangdong District, has started sales and is drawing attention from many prospective tenants.
This complex is a knowledge industry center located in Hyangdong District, Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province, consisting of three basement floors to seven above-ground floors, with a total floor area of 94,797㎡. It comprises knowledge industry centers with office-type and manufacturing-type factories, neighborhood living facilities, community facilities such as lounges and meeting rooms, and a total of 750 parking spaces planned, designed at 250% of the legal requirement.
The biggest advantage of ‘DMC Citywalk’ is its immediate adjacency to Sangam DMC. It is located at the entrance of Hyangdong District, making access convenient, and once Hyangdong Station, scheduled for completion in 2025, is operational, access to Seoul is expected to become even easier. Tenants can expect high work convenience due to the proximity of Sangam DMC and Changneung New Town.
Additionally, the transportation environment is excellent. Besides being in the station area of Hyangdong Station on the Gyeongui-Jungang Line, it is close to major roads such as Gangbyeonbuk-ro, Olympic-daero, Seoul-Munsan Expressway, and the Inner Ring Road, providing excellent access to metropolitan roads and convenient travel to central Seoul.
The demand base is also strong, allowing for stable rental income expectations. Along with the approximately 50,000 workers in Sangam DMC, the demand base is expected to grow steadily due to the development of Changneung New Town and Susaek Station area.
‘DMC Citywalk’ was designed considering the characteristics of manufacturing and office-type factory facilities. The maximum floor height is designed at 6 meters, and a drive-in design has been introduced on all floors of the manufacturing building to enhance convenience for manufacturing factories.
Furthermore, some units feature balcony designs and section offices with small to medium-sized floor plans to provide a comfortable working environment for employees. In addition, meeting rooms and lounges are provided, and with surrounding green spaces and a rooftop park, a pleasant working environment is ensured.
Meanwhile, ‘DMC Citywalk’ is currently operating a promotional center.
