As mortgage loan interest rates approach 7%, freezing the real estate market, complexes offering interest-free benefits on interim payments without financial burden are gaining popularity.

The COFIX, the benchmark interest rate for variable-rate mortgage loans, has surpassed the 3% mark for the first time in over a decade. Recently, the Bank of Korea implemented a big step by raising the base interest rate by 0.5 percentage points, pushing mortgage rates close to 7%. Additionally, with the Monetary Policy Committee expected to hold another meeting this year and leaving the possibility of another big step open, loan interest rates are anticipated to rise further.

As interest rates continue to climb, increasing financial burdens on buyers, their attention naturally shifts to complexes offering 'interest-free interim payments.' These complexes, where the developer bears the interest, have the advantage that the actual contract holders pay no interest at all, making them immune to base rate hikes. Moreover, as interest rates rise, they also provide a greater effect of reducing the sale price.

With the real sale prices rising due to interest rate hikes and the upward trend expected to continue into next year, the greatest fear for consumers is not knowing how much interest burden they will have to bear. In this context, the complex 'Forena Daejeon Hakha,' which reduces economic burdens through benefits such as interest-free interim payments, is attracting attention. 'Forena Daejeon Hakha' is currently the only complex in Daejeon offering interest-free interim payments. Rather than limiting this to certain phases, it boldly applies interest-free benefits to all payment stages, completely eliminating consumers' interest rate burdens.

Forena Daejeon Hakha is located in Hakha-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon Metropolitan City, consisting of 21 buildings ranging from 2 basement floors to a maximum of 34 floors above ground, with a total of 1,754 households (1st complex: 1,029 households, 2nd complex: 725 households) and exclusive areas ranging from 59 to 84㎡. Among these, 872 units (1st complex) with a single exclusive area of 84㎡, excluding rental units, will be sold to the general public.

The biggest advantage of Forena Daejeon Hakha is that it is a complex with the perfect combination of location, living infrastructure, and environment.

Nearby the complex are Gyeryongsan National Park’s Sutonggol, Rigiteda Pine Forest, Hakha Stream, and the National Daejeon Forest Center. It also features various children’s parks such as Hakui Forest Infant Forest Experience Center, Wolbong, and Starlight, allowing residents to enjoy a pleasant green life in the city.

Regarding transportation, there are plans to extend Dongseo-daero connecting Dongseo-daero and Hwasan Bridge, as well as a new Hyeonchungwon IC construction project near the complex. Once the roads open, Hakha-dong will be connected by a circular road to Daejeon Hyeonchungwon and Doan New Town, improving accessibility. The Yuseong Metropolitan Complex Transfer Center (scheduled for completion in 2026) is also located nearby.

By car, residents can access various convenience facilities such as Yuseong Market, Homeplus Seodaejeon Branch, Lotte Mart Seodaejeon Branch, Moda Outlet, Hakha-dong Administrative Welfare Center, and Konyang University Hospital. Using Dongseo-daero located to the right of the complex, quick access to Doan New Town, which has hospitals, marts, and academies, is possible, sharing convenient living infrastructure. A commercial district development is also planned right in front of the complex.

The solid educational environment is also noteworthy. Within the complex, there is a public daycare center, and with plans to expand the school route for Hakha Elementary School (scheduled before 2024), a safe school district can be formed. Additionally, Deokmyeong Middle School and Hanbat National University are located nearby.

Forena Daejeon Hakha also has development benefits. To the south of the complex, there are plans for site development to attract the 2nd Daedeok Research Complex and a comprehensive research institute. To the east, there is a planned construction project for the Southwest Comprehensive Sports Town, which will include an ice rink, archery stadium, baseball stadium, and indoor shooting range.

Forena offers differentiated specialized designs and community facilities. The complex features a slab-type structure with buildings oriented mainly southward to maximize lighting and ventilation, and a low building coverage ratio of about 14%, providing wide distances between buildings and good views. It also secures ample parking spaces (1.43 spaces per household) to avoid parking disputes and is designed as a park-type apartment with abundant landscaping (43% landscaping area). Various community facilities such as a wellness center, golf training center, Forena preschool, and senior clubhouse are also provided.

A sales official stated, “Forena Daejeon Hakha is a branded large-scale apartment complex equipped with various benefits such as the planned 2nd Daedeok Research Complex and Dongseo-daero extension plan. Thanks to the developer’s bold decision, consumers do not need to worry about interest even if the Monetary Policy Committee or the Federal Reserve announces interest rate hikes, so it is expected to attract much interest from local real demand buyers.”

The Forena Daejeon Hakha model house is scheduled to open in October. Move-in is planned for February 2026.
