Since its completion in September last year, the knowledge industry center ‘Guri Galmae Geumgang Pentarium IX Tower,’ where companies are gradually moving in, continues to attract corporate visits. Geumgang Housing has decided to offer customized office spaces for actual resident companies on the royal floors, sparking strong interest from investors and companies wishing to move in.
A sales representative for Guri Galmae Geumgang Pentarium IX Tower stated, “Following the success of a quick sell-out in a short period, the project currently records a 98% balance payment rate and is on the verge of 100% completion. As the largest knowledge industry center in the Guri Galmae district and a landmark in the area, the royal floors, considered to be the 6th and 10th floors, have been released, and we expect a full sell-out soon.”
Guri Galmae Geumgang Pentarium IX Tower boasts the largest scale among knowledge industry centers in the Guri Galmae district, with a total floor area of approximately 170,000㎡. Surrounded by numerous business facilities, it offers synergy effects with other companies and provides excellent infrastructure for transportation, living, and nature, making it an ideal place for businesses.
Regarding transportation, Byeollae Station on the Gyeongchun Line is within a 1km radius, and the Jinjeop Line (Dangogae~Jinjeop), an extension of Line 4, opened last year. It takes about 4 minutes to access the Seoul Ring Expressway, and the Northern Arterial Road, Guri-Pocheon Expressway, and Eastern Arterial Road are nearby. Various transportation benefits, including the Byeollae Line (Amsa~Byeollae), an extension of Line 8, and the GTX-B line connecting Incheon National University Station to Maseok, are expected to improve access to major downtown areas in Seoul.
Nearby commercial and cultural facilities such as E-Mart, Lotte Cinema, and Moda Outlet are established, and green spaces like Taereung Golf Course and Hyupdong Park provide a pleasant working environment. Residents can share the lifestyle zones of new towns such as Byeollae New Town, Wangsuk New Town, Dasan New Town, and Guri Galmae Station Area. The complex also includes the commercial facility ‘Guri Galmae Geumgang Pentarium IX Mall,’ allowing easy access to various convenience facilities. Notably, Industrial Bank of Korea is scheduled to move in this year, facilitating smoother financial transactions in an area with few banks.
Guri Galmae Geumgang Pentarium IX Tower was designed by the world-renowned architect Bradford Perkins, earning high praise among resident companies for its differentiated product design. The exterior features a dynamic streamlined design, and specialized facade designs are applied to key corners.
Inside, to optimize the work environment, office-type spaces are designed on the upper floors from the 6th floor upwards, while manufacturing-type factories are on the lower floors below the 5th floor. The knowledge industry center’s unique door-to-door system and linear drive-in system have been introduced, and the presence of 35 elevators (32 passenger elevators and 3 freight elevators) reflects consideration for employee convenience. As an all-in-one complex cultural center, the tower includes community facilities such as a fitness center, GX room, and golf practice range, as well as rest spaces during work like terraces, opening gardens, and rooftop gardens.
Additionally, a large dormitory, ‘Guri Galmae Geumgang Pentarium IX Stay,’ separated from the work facilities, is housed in a standalone 10-story building, making it suitable for employees who find commuting from home difficult.
Among the excellent product features, the 6th and 10th floors currently available for sale are classified as royal floors. Both floors consist of large block-type spaces, allowing companies to secure office-like spaces, and use variable walls to adjust the scale according to work purposes.
The 6th-floor royal floor is closest to community facilities and the opening garden where one can relax in nature, while the 10th-floor top floor offers the advantage of an open panoramic view and a rooftop garden that can be enjoyed like a company garden.
A local real estate agent commented, “The Guri Galmae district is close to Seoul, and many companies have recently relocated their offices here. Guri Galmae Geumgang Pentarium IX Tower has excellent location and product quality to the extent that large corporations move in, and rental demand is expected to remain steady.”
Guri Galmae Geumgang Pentarium IX Tower is located along Galmae Sunhwan-ro in Guri City, Gyeonggi Province, and consists of 2 basement floors and 10 above-ground floors. The 6th floor has 5 blocks and 91 units, and the 10th floor has 7 blocks and 99 units available for sale. Units up to 1,800 pyeong (approximately 5,950㎡) can be purchased.
