'Half-Price Apartment' Subscription Opportunity on the Han River

If you are a non-homeowner, you can apply for Gangbyeon Central I-Park without a subscription account or points. Because there is no residency obligation, the sale price can be covered with jeonse deposits, and a gain of over 1 billion won is expected at roughly half the 2.5 billion won market price.

This subscription is being noted as a 'remaining units' opportunity that requires neither a subscription account nor subscription points, and anyone who meets the non-homeowner requirement can apply. Its major advantage is that, with no residency obligation, the sale price can be covered with jeonse deposits.

Major infrastructure is taking shape near the Gangbyeon Central I-Park site, including the Guui-Jayang redevelopment district, Lotte Castle East Poll, and the Dong-Seoul Terminal modernization project. The subscription deadline is October 6, so mark the date on your calendar to avoid missing the opportunity. Kim Hak-ju, head of an urban development research institute, stressed the importance of meeting the application deadline.

Large-scale development projects are planned around the complex, including the Guui-Jayang redevelopment district, Lotte Castle East Poll, and the Dong-Seoul Terminal modernization project, which are expected to raise its future value.

Supply-expansion policies, including government easing of floor area ratio limits, have given momentum to Seoul's four major redevelopment projects. A villa bought six years ago for 300-some million won with 50 million won of actual investment has been transformed through moa-town redevelopment into an apartment worth over 2.2 billion won. Kim went on to point out the potential for asset value growth through redevelopment.

Excluding the 250 million won jeonse deposit, the actual investment was only 50 million won, a case analyzed as a large asset gain from a small outlay. This is seen as a factor raising investment value, in line with government supply-expansion policies and the progress of Seoul's four major redevelopment projects.

Given Seoul's triple supply policy, it is more important to secure locations that will become future apartments than to focus on whether redevelopment will happen. Newly built non-apartment homes priced at 600 million won or less are excluded from the housing count, so you can keep your non-homeowner status by using this special provision.

Under the triple supply policy of the government and Seoul, securing locations expected to convert to apartments in the future is essential. Newly built non-apartment homes of 600 million won or less are excluded from the housing count, and owning a villa can still qualify you as a non-homeowner.

While apartment prices in Seongsu-dong are rising sharply, Hwayang-dong is considered an undervalued area where investment is possible at around 100 million won, and it is analyzed as having strong future growth potential.

Professor Lee Sang-su paid attention to the possibility that Sadang-dong could change into 'Sinbangbae-dong.' He placed weight on the future value this location holds.

Isu Station is a double-station area served by Lines 4 and 7, with excellent access to Gangnam and the city center, and it is strongly influenced by market prices in nearby Banpo and Bangbae-dong. Combining existing apartments with redevelopment zones under way, a huge residential cluster of about 14,000 households is expected, larger than the 12,000 households of Heukseok New Town.

Sadang-dong, around Isu Station, is a double-station area on Lines 4 and 7 with strong access to Gangnam, and it has the locational advantage of being strongly influenced by nearby apartment prices in Banpo and Bangbae-dong.

Once redevelopment in the Sadang-dong area is complete, a large apartment belt of about 14,000 households is expected to form. This is larger than Heukseok New Town's 12,000 households, and given that new apartment prices in Heukseok-dong have passed 3.5 billion won, Sadang-dong's future value is also rated highly.

In the Sadang-dong area, a large apartment belt is taking shape, combining existing apartments with redevelopment zones under way.

Investors with about 200 million won can benefit from the exclusion from the housing count and gain the chance to secure membership rights within a 14,000-household apartment belt, making it an attractive option for smaller investors.
