In particular, Hillstate has continuously provided innovative technologies and specialized designs in residential spaces, satisfying residents' satisfaction, achieving the distinction of ranking first in brand reputation index for 53 consecutive months as of August this year.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction plans to continue the Hillstate brand reputation through ‘Hillstate Gwanak Cent Ciel,’ launched in Gwanak-gu, Seoul. This complex is a housing redevelopment project in Bongcheon-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, Zone 4-1-2, consisting of 9 buildings from 3 basement floors to 28 above-ground floors, with a total of 997 households.

Within a 1.2 km radius of the complex are Bongcheon Station on Subway Line 2 and Soongsil University Station on Line 7. Using these lines, it is possible to reach Gangnam Station and Nonhyeon Station within 20 minutes without transfers. The opening of the Seobu Line light rail, accessible by foot, is also planned. This line runs from Saejeol Station (Line 6) to Yeouido to Seoul National University Station (Line 2), with a total length of 15.8 km.

Currently, redevelopment projects are actively underway in the Bongcheon-dong area, raising expectations for improved residential environments. According to Gwanak-gu Office, the Bongcheon Zone 4-1-3 housing redevelopment project (855 households) is planned near the complex, and including already occupied complexes such as Gwanak Dream Town (3,544 households), Gwanak Byeoksan Blooming 1~3 (3,388 households), and Gwanak Dongbu Centreville (487 households), approximately 9,000 households will form a new residential town.
