- Seven buildings up to 29 floors above ground, total of 1,055 units... 850 units with exclusive areas of 26-59 sqm supplied
- Public-supported private rental housing offers reasonable rents, no tax burden, and low entry barriers for applications
Kumho E&C plans to supply the public-supported private rental housing complex "Paju Geumchon Kumho Eoullim" in Geumchon-dong, Paju, Gyeonggi Province in May 2025.
The complex will consist of seven buildings ranging from three basement levels to 29 above-ground floors, with a total of 1,055 units. Of these, 850 units with exclusive areas of 26 to 59 square meters will be supplied as public-supported private rental housing. By type, there will be 391 units of 26 square meters, 197 units of 46 square meters, 202 units of 59 square meters type A, and 60 units of 59 square meters type B, making the complex primarily composed of small-sized units. As a result, strong interest is expected from one- to two-person households, as well as young people and newlywed couples seeking actual residence.
Public-supported private rental housing is characterized by rental rates lower than the surrounding market prices (special supply: 80% or less of market rates, general supply: 95% or less), which helps reduce the monthly rent burden for tenants.
Residents can live stably for up to 10 years, and the annual rent increase rate is limited to 5% or less. In addition, there is no burden of acquisition or property taxes, and anyone who is at least 19 years old, holds Korean nationality, and is a member of a non-homeowning household (for general supply) or a non-homeowner (for special supply) can apply, even without a subscription savings account. This lowers the entry barrier, making it a practical housing alternative for real demand groups who find it difficult to purchase a home.
Since "Paju Geumchon Kumho Eoullim" will also be supplied as public-supported private rental housing, it is expected to attract significant interest from real demand buyers. Furthermore, the complex is well-equipped with various residential essentials, including transportation, living convenience facilities, and natural surroundings, raising expectations even higher.
First, the complex boasts excellent transportation with outstanding accessibility to Seoul and the greater metropolitan area. It is a station-area complex within walking distance of Geumchon Station on the Gyeongui-Jungang Line, and is close to the Geumchon IC on the Pyeongtaek-Paju Expressway, making travel to the metropolitan area and other regions easy. In addition, Unjeong Jungang Station (GTX-A Line) is located about 6 kilometers away, allowing residents to reach Seoul Station in approximately 22 minutes via this route.
The area is also well-equipped with living infrastructure, enhancing satisfaction in daily life. Geumchon Elementary School is located nearby, enabling children to walk to school, and Geumneung Middle School as well as Geumchon Middle and High Schools are also close. Major living convenience facilities such as Tongil Market, a traditional market, and Emart are nearby. In addition, public offices and medical and cultural facilities such as Paju City Hall, Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center Paju Hospital, and Geumchon Eoullim Center are in the vicinity, making administrative tasks and leisure activities convenient. By car, residents can also easily access the infrastructure of nearby areas such as Unjeong New Town and Ilsan.
Within approximately 20 minutes by car are industrial complexes such as LG Display, Wollong Industrial Complex, Seonyu Industrial Complex, and Paju Publishing National Industrial Complex, providing excellent conditions for proximity between workplace and residence.
"Paju Geumchon Kumho Eoullim" is a newly built large-scale complex being introduced in Geumchon-dong, where 90% of apartments are over 20 years old, and is expected to attract high interest from buyers thanks to its excellent product quality tailored to real demand.
The complex is designed mainly with small-sized units, which are in high demand recently, and features efficient space planning to accommodate not only one- to two-person households but also newlyweds and seniors. In particular, specialized layouts such as pantries, dressing rooms, and storage spaces are appropriately arranged by unit type, enhancing practicality and storage capacity.
Additionally, the complex is arranged mainly facing south, with wide spacing between buildings and open views to maximize sunlight, daylight rights, and privacy. There are also ample buffer green areas and landscaping facilities to reduce noise. By keeping vehicles off the ground and designing the complex around green spaces, the entire site will offer both a park-like openness and enhanced safety.
Community facilities will include a fitness center, small library, mom's station, and daycare center. Residential services such as childcare, home care, coin laundry, unmanned parcel lockers, and vehicle inspection services are also planned for added convenience.
Meanwhile, the promotional center for "Paju Geumchon Kumho Eoullim" will be set up in Geumchon-dong, Paju, Gyeonggi Province.
