- 27 Apartment Units (68~174㎡), 20 Officetel Rooms (80~99㎡) Composition
- ‘Green Architecture’ Integrating Construction and Nature, Building Exterior and Everyday Spaces Greenified
In Cheongdam-dong, symbolizing South Korea's high-end lifestyle, the country's first vertical forest city, 'Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace,' is scheduled for sale. Designed as a 'signature landmark' that seamlessly blends into nature with private terraces for every unit and luxurious features, it is capturing the attention of the top-tier VVIPs.
Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace is located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, adjacent to Dosan-daero. It consists of a total of 47 units, including 27 residential apartments (exclusive area 68?174㎡) and 20 officetel units (80?99㎡), spanning from six basement floors to 20 above-ground floors. The developer is Lucia Holdings, which has successfully supplied high-end housing in the Cheongdam-dong area.
Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace is notably the first vertical forest city introduced in South Korea. A vertical forest city is a green building concept that incorporates greenery into the building’s exterior and throughout living spaces, promoting coexistence between nature and the urban environment as a futuristic city model. Internationally, Italy’s Milan ‘Bosco Verticale’ is a well-known example of a vertical forest city.
When a vertical forest city is established, trees are planted on balconies and throughout the building, preventing direct sunlight exposure. The water used to irrigate the plants evaporates, lowering the surrounding temperature and enabling energy savings. It also helps block noise and contributes to air purification by absorbing carbon dioxide and air pollutants. In cities where green spaces are scarce, it enhances biodiversity. Residents can enjoy the changing colors of the seasons, experiencing relaxation and contemplation.
The interior design is also of the highest quality, creating a signature landmark that the top 1% can take pride in. Various unit types allow for unique personal expression, and an LDK (kitchen, dining, living room) layout maximizes openness compared to other products. In addition to medium-to-large units and terrace structures for all units, some units feature duplex layouts for easier use of interior space, and some offer views of the Han River. A rooftop and infinity pool add to the luxury.
High-performance system windows maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, and reduced facade framing allows for wider views. High technology is integrated to enable the building to automatically respond to scenarios such as fire or security incidents. A self-parking facility enhances convenience.
The location on Dosan-daero in Cheongdam-dong, known as a wealthy neighborhood in Gangnam, also provides a locational halo effect. Dosan-daero connects Sinsa Station, Garosu-gil, and Cheongdam-dong, making it a center for the latest trends in luxury goods and fashion. It is densely packed with office facilities and premium residential buildings, offering a perfect mix of commercial, residential, and business elements. It is accessible via Sinsa Station (Line 3 and Shinbundang Line), and the planned Wirye-Sinsa Line is also underway, adding further transportation benefits.
Attention is also drawn to the fact that Lucia Holdings, which has successfully supplied a series of high-end homes in Cheongdam-dong and Dosan-daero, is the developer. Last year, Lucia Holdings launched ‘Lucia Dosan 208,’ completing 100% contracts in a short period, and recently achieved a sell-out with the ‘Lucia Cheongdam 546 The River’ officetel, leading the high-end residential culture.
A sales official stated, “This is not just a luxury product but a signature landmark looking ahead 100 years, designed to be a space for leaders who think about the city’s future and fulfill social responsibility in South Korea’s most affluent neighborhood,” adding, “Inquiries from the top 1% of customers continue.”
Meanwhile, Lucia Cheongdam 514 The Terrace plans to operate the Lucia Lounge.
