Public facilities established through land contributions during urban development are significant because they benefit not only the residents of the complex but also the entire local community. These facilities, such as roads, parks, sports centers, and cultural spaces, enhance daily convenience and help improve the overall quality of life for local residents.
However, in most cases, newly built complexes complete the apartment buildings first, with the promised public facilities constructed later. As a result, residents are often unable to use the planned amenities on time, and the local community experiences inconvenience due to delayed access to the anticipated public infrastructure.
Pyeongchon Lotte Castle Le Ciel has addressed these limitations. A public library and a public swimming pool have been built right in front of the complex, allowing immediate use from the time of move-in. This is especially meaningful for Pyeongchon, where the Anyang Sports Complex swimming pool was virtually the only facility of its kind, as it significantly expands the local living and leisure infrastructure.
This case is regarded as a successful implementation of a system that requires public contribution facilities to be completed alongside the main project, from groundbreaking to completion. It is expected to enhance convenience and residential satisfaction for residents while providing new public infrastructure for the local community, fostering mutual growth.
An industry official stated, "Pyeongchon Lotte Castle Le Ciel is a rare example where a public library and swimming pool are completed at the same time as residents move in. This will not only improve convenience for residents but also have a positive impact on the entire community. The fact that public contribution facilities can be used immediately upon move-in is expected to receive strong support."
By offering practical benefits such as convenient access to a public library and swimming pool right at the entrance, Pyeongchon Lotte Castle Le Ciel is considered a highly competitive residential product.
The area is also abundant in educational and daily life infrastructure. Prestigious schools such as Gwiin Elementary School, Minbaek Elementary School, Anyangnam Elementary School, Dongan Elementary School, Gwiin Middle School, Daean Middle School, Daean Girls’ Middle School, Singi Middle School, Baekyoung High School, and Pyeongchon High School are located nearby. The proximity to the Pyeongchon academy district further strengthens the demand for quality education. In addition, commercial, green, and medical infrastructure-including Lotte Department Store, Emart, Lotte Mart, Pyeongchon Central Park, Jayu Park, and Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital-are concentrated in the area, providing excellent convenience for daily life.
The planned opening of the Agricultural and Fishery Market Station (tentative name) on the Dongtan-Indeogwon double-track railway will create a prime transportation hub, and residents will also have access to Pyeongchon Station on Subway Line 4. The upcoming Indeogwon Station GTX-C line and the Wolgot-Pangyo line will further solidify the area as a central transportation hub in the southwestern region. By car, residents can quickly reach Seoul’s Gangnam area via the Seoul Metropolitan Area First Ring Expressway, Gyeongsu-daero, and Heungan-daero.
Most notably, Pyeongchon has been designated as a leading district for the first phase of new town redevelopment, raising expectations for increased future value as living conditions improve. Pyeongchon Lotte Castle Le Ciel is positioned at the center of these designated districts, further enhancing its locational advantages.
The design of the complex is also highly distinctive. With a wide range of floor plans from 47 to 119 square meters, the layout reflects current trends, including the popular 4-bay plate structure. Options range from compact 47 square meter units suitable for one- or two-person households, to the highly sought-after 84 square meter units, and large units ideal for households of three to four or more. Each type features specialized designs such as dressing rooms, pantries, and open-plan living rooms to maximize space utilization.
The top floor features a sky lounge and rooftop garden with panoramic views, while premium community facilities include a fitness club, GX room, kids’ cafe, and children’s library. Additional amenities such as a coin laundry, creative lounge, reading room, and group study room further enhance resident satisfaction and quality of life.
A sales representative commented, "Pyeongchon Lotte Castle Le Ciel is the first new mid- to large-sized complex to be built in Pyeongchon-dong in 25 years. It is a rare case where both a public library and swimming pool are completed simultaneously with the complex, and its location encompasses both prestigious schools and the academy district. Combined with excellent educational, daily life, and transportation infrastructure, as well as the future value from its designation as a leading district, it is set to become a landmark complex representing Pyeongchon."
The model home is scheduled to open in October.
