- 'Lotte Castle' Continues High Preference Nationwide, Raising Expectations with First Supply in Geomdan New Town
- Developed as a Station-Area Apartment near the New Station on the Extended Incheon Subway Line 1… 372 Units of Exclusive 84㎡ and 108㎡ for Sale
Lotte Construction's 'Lotte Castle,' a flagship brand apartment leading the housing market, is set to be launched in October in Geomdan New Town, Incheon. The Lotte Castle brand has proven its value by consistently achieving excellent sales performance in various locations, driven by high consumer preference, and interest continues to grow for this first Lotte Castle complex in Geomdan New Town.
In fact, Lotte Castle brand apartments have been enjoying continuous sales success. Despite the real estate market downturn earlier this year, large complexes such as 'Changwon Lotte Castle Forest 1 & 2 Complexes (total 1,965 households)' and 'Guri Station Lotte Castle Signature (total 1,180 households)' were sold out consecutively. Additionally, ‘VL Le West,’ the first urban silver town project by Lotte Construction, also succeeded with a record-high subscription competition rate of 205 to 1.
Moreover, 'Cheongnyangni Lotte Castle High Luce,' which received first-priority subscriptions in July, attracted an impressive 21,000 subscription accounts, recording the highest competition rate of the year at an average of 242 to 1. In the same month, 'Daeyeon DIEL' also closed first-priority subscriptions for all unit types with 19,000 subscription accounts. Following that, in August, 'Lotte Castle Eastpole' in Gwangjin-gu received over 41,000 subscriptions, closing first-priority subscriptions with an average competition rate of 98.44 to 1, demonstrating strong consumer interest in the Lotte Castle brand.
An industry insider stated, "The Lotte Castle brand apartments enjoy a high level of trust from consumers, leading to continuous high demand in the sales market," adding, "It is expected that the first Lotte Castle apartment in Geomdan New Town will also attract significant attention."
Meanwhile, the first Lotte Castle apartment in Geomdan New Town, named 'Geomdan New Town Lotte Castle Nextiel,' will be located in the RC1 block near the new subway station (tentatively named Station 101, scheduled for 2025) on the extended Line 1 of Incheon Subway. The complex will consist of 4 buildings ranging from 2 basement floors to a maximum of 29 floors above ground, with a total of 372 units in 84㎡ and 108㎡ exclusive areas.
Notably, it is part of the Next Complex, a specialized zone in the first phase of Geomdan New Town's approximately 59,136㎡ advanced mixed-use development, expected to benefit from development advantages. Additionally, the nearby Incheon Legal Town is also under development, further enhancing future value.
The complex boasts excellent residential conditions. Nearby are the Gyeyangcheon Riverside Park, Ara Central Park, and Dumulmeori Park, providing abundant green spaces for a pleasant living environment. Large marts such as Lotte Mart, E-Mart Traders, and Homeplus are also conveniently accessible.
Furthermore, educational facilities including Incheon Aram Elementary School, Incheon Ieum Elementary and Middle Schools, and Wondang High School are nearby. Planned public kindergartens, Incheon English Village, and a commercial district with academies are also close, creating an excellent study environment for school-age children.
Geomdan New Town Lotte Castle Nextiel is subject to the price ceiling system applied to large-scale housing developments in the metropolitan area. Residents aged 19 or older in the metropolitan area can apply for first-priority subscriptions as household heads or members (excluding special supply), and there are no restrictions on re-winning.
Winners will be selected with a 50% quota for Incheon and 50% for the metropolitan area (Seoul, Gyeonggi), opening opportunities for applicants from nearby areas such as Seoul and Gimpo City, which has reportedly led to high interest from local demand.
A sales official said, "We plan to introduce various specialized designs befitting the symbolic status of the first Lotte Castle brand apartment in Geomdan New Town," adding, "We will present a landmark representing Geomdan."
The model house for Geomdan New Town Lotte Castle Nextiel will be located in the Mokdong area of Yangcheon-gu, Seoul (in front of SBS Broadcasting Station) and is scheduled to open in October.
