Brighton N40 Penthouse Cash Purchase
Also Bought Land and Building in Nonhyeon-dong for 19.8 Billion Last Year
Broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk has moved into a luxury apartment in Nonhyeon-dong after living in a Jeonse lease for 15 years at Hyundai Apartment in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
According to the Supreme Court Internet Registry on the 22nd, Yoo Jae-suk completed the registration for 'Brighton N40' in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, earlier this month. The purchase price was 8.6657 billion KRW. He bought it entirely in cash without setting a mortgage. The apartment is a 199㎡ penthouse (199T type) consisting of 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. Since he appears to have changed his registered address to this location, it is presumed that he actually resides there.
Brighton N40 is a luxury residential complex supplied in 2022 in Nonhyeon-dong, a traditional affluent neighborhood in Seoul. It consists of 5 buildings with 4 basement floors and 5 to 10 above-ground floors, totaling 148 households. There are 140 units ranging from 84 to 176㎡ and 8 penthouses ranging from 171 to 248㎡. The residence Yoo Jae-suk purchased is a 199㎡ penthouse (199T type), notable for having exclusive access to a spacious terrace.
Yoo Jae-suk had been living on a Jeonse lease at Hyundai Apartment in Apgujeong-dong for nearly 15 years. In 2020, on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block,’ when a guest asked, “You seem to invest in stocks, but do you invest in real estate?” he replied, “I know a little about stocks, but I don’t know much about real estate, so I don’t invest.” However, last year he purchased land and a building in Nonhyeon-dong for 19.8 billion KRW in cash, and this year he also bought a house in cash.
Brighton N40 is conveniently located near Hannam Bridge, Olympic-daero, and Gyeongbu Expressway, making travel by car easy. Behind the complex is Hakdong Park, which spans about 30,000㎡. In front of the main gate of the complex are the GIA International School and a well-known private elementary school, as well as a ‘Public Cultural Complex Building’ that will house a library.
The complex pays attention to privacy protection with a triple security system covering the perimeter, the interior of the complex, and inside the units. A concierge resides in the building, providing customized luxury hotel services such as room cleaning, laundry, business support, travel reservations, and home styling. Due to these conveniences and security features, it is known that celebrities like actress Han Hyo-joo and sports stars reside here.
