- Exceptional Financial Benefits: 5% Down Payment, 7-Year Interest-Free Deferral on 30% Balance
- Prime Location Near Seoripul Complex Development District with Outstanding Cultural, Transportation, and Educational Infrastructure
With the entire Gangnam 3 districts in Seoul (Seocho, Gangnam, Songpa) and Yongsan-gu being re-designated as Land Transaction Permission Zones, the apartment market has contracted. In this context, residential officetels, which are relatively free from such regulations, are emerging as an alternative for genuine homebuyers.
In particular, it has become virtually impossible to purchase apartments in these permission zones with existing jeonse tenants, and the requirements for actual residence have also been tightened, making purchases more difficult and further dampening transactions. In contrast, officetels are not subject to actual residence requirements, allowing for more flexible housing choices.
Amidst this backdrop, 'ZIZEL LIFEGRAPHY SEOCHO', located in the Seocho living area, is attracting attention as a residential officetel that offers both homebuyer-friendly financial benefits and a competitive location.
This complex offers an exceptional financial plan, requiring only a flat 5% down payment and deferring the remaining 30% balance interest-free for seven years, significantly reducing the initial financial burden. In addition, for some units, recent legal revisions have allowed for the inclusion of balconies in the design, expanding the usable space and further enhancing spatial efficiency.
A real estate industry official commented, "As regulations on the Gangnam apartment market have become stricter, officetels are becoming a more realistic alternative for actual homebuyers," adding, "'ZIZEL LIFEGRAPHY SEOCHO' is a well-balanced residential product that combines location, financial benefits, and spatial efficiency."
'ZIZEL LIFEGRAPHY SEOCHO', constructed by Dooson Construction Co., Ltd., is being developed on a 3,048.10㎡ site, with six basement floors and 22 above-ground floors, offering a total of 399 officetel units. The units are composed of Type A (56.42㎡, 105 units), Type A-1 (56.42㎡, 42 units), Type B (59.83㎡, 147 units), Type C (69.51㎡, 21 units), and Type D (56.16㎡, 84 units).
The complex features a design split into two towers, taking into account pedestrian flow and the surrounding environment. The first floor is designed with an 8-meter-high arch-shaped piloti, creating a garden space beneath the arch to provide a pleasant street environment.
The interiors are available in four types, catering to the lifestyles of two- to three-person households. Each type incorporates the latest residential trends, with a 2ROOM, 2BATHROOM layout, and ample storage space such as dressing rooms, maximizing spatial efficiency. Premium interior finishes are also provided completely free of charge.
Residents will enjoy a range of community facilities, including a fitness club, swimming pool, and rooftop garden. Additionally, a neighborhood facility with a bakery space accommodating around 180 seats will enhance both convenience and cost efficiency for residents.
The location is also outstanding. Centered around the Seoripul Complex Development District, the area boasts concentrated transportation, cultural, and educational infrastructure, increasing its appeal among genuine homebuyers.
The complex is within a five-minute walk of Nambu Bus Terminal Station on Seoul Subway Line 3, as well as Seocho Station and Gyodae Station on Line 2, offering a triple-station area. It also benefits from easy access to major transportation networks such as the Gyeongbu Expressway, Seocho IC, and Nambu Beltway. Furthermore, the planned 'Gyeongbu Expressway Underground Project' between Hannam IC and Yangjae IC is expected to alleviate chronic traffic congestion upon completion, making the living environment even more convenient.
In addition to the transportation network, various infrastructure for daily convenience is concentrated around the complex. Facilities such as Shinsegae Department Store, the National Library of Korea, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital of the Catholic University of Korea, and the Seoul Arts Center provide easy access to shopping and daily needs. The area is also highly rated for its location competitiveness, thanks to its proximity to natural environments such as Umyeonsan and Seoripul Park.
The complex is also located within the 'Gangnam 8 School District', renowned as the top school district in Seoul. It is adjacent to prestigious schools such as Seocho High School, Seoul High School, and Sangmun High School, all included in the 8 School District, as well as various other renowned schools, academies, and study rooms. This makes it an ideal choice for families in their 30s and 40s with school-age children.
The area's future value is also promising. In the Seocho-gu area, the former Defense Security Command site is being developed into an eco-friendly cultural and arts complex town. This project, covering 96,795㎡?equivalent to 13 soccer fields?is expected to create about 30,000 jobs. It will also help establish a cultural cluster connecting the Seoul Arts Center, Lotte Chilsung and Kolon sites, Seoripul Park, and Sebitseom.
In addition, R&CD development is underway in the Yangjae, Umyeon, and Gaepo areas. Seocho-gu expects that upon completion of the Yangjae R&CD Special Zone project, approximately 15,000 quality jobs will be created for global companies and university researchers.
Currently, the 'ZIZEL LIFEGRAPHY SEOCHO' gallery house is located in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, and operates on a reservation-only basis for advance visits.
