So-called "hexagonal apartments," which combine residential satisfaction with marketability, are taking hold as the mainstream in the real estate market. As preference rises for apartments that strike a balance among living convenience and liquidity, demand is solidifying for apartments that bring together transportation, daily infrastructure, school districts, natural environment, product attributes, and future value.
Anyang Xi Herition, which GS Engineering and Construction is putting on the market this month, is one of the representative hexagonal apartments. GS Engineering and Construction will offer Anyang Xi Herition this month at 398-32 Anyang-dong, Manan District, Anyang, Gyeonggi Province.
Anyang Xi Herition will be created as a large complex with 17 buildings and a total of 1,716 dwellings, spanning from five basement levels to up to 29 stories above ground, through the Sangnok District housing redevelopment and maintenance project. Of these, excluding allocations for association members and rentals, 639 units with exclusive areas of 49–101 square meters will be offered to the general market.
The biggest advantage of Anyang Xi Herition is transportation. Myeonghak Station on Subway Line 1 is within walking distance, allowing direct access without transfers to major business districts in Seoul, including Gasan Digital Complex Station, Yongsan Station, Seoul Station, and City Hall Station. At Anyang Station, one stop toward Seoul from Myeonghak, the Wolgot–Pangyo Line (Wolpan Line), which connects Wolgot in Siheung to Pangyo in Seongnam, is slated to open. At Geumjeong Station (Lines 1 and 4), the GTX-C line of the Seoul metropolitan area express railway, which will run from Yangju in Gyeonggi Province to Suwon, is planned.
Nearby education and daily convenience facilities are also diverse. Myeonghak Elementary School is within walking distance to the south of the complex, and Seongmun Middle and High Schools are also reachable on foot. The highly favored Sinseong Middle and High Schools in the area are close by. The Pyeongchon private education district, one of the Seoul metropolitan area's major academy clusters, is an easy drive away.
Seoul One I'Park by HDC Hyundai Development Company likewise builds a differentiated residential culture. Through the approximately 4.8 trillion won Seoul One project, Hyundai Development Company will create a future-oriented mixed-use city where all aspects of life can be enjoyed within a 1-kilometer radius. Seoul One will form an organic urban ecosystem integrating a residential complex of more than 3,000 households, a wellness residence, a shopping mall and street mall, prime offices, and a global lifestyle hotel.
The residential facilities of Seoul One will be built on a site of about 77,722 square meters with eight buildings rising up to 49 stories. Of these, Seoul One I'Park, the multifamily housing comprising six buildings, was successfully sold last year, and supply of the two-building wellness residence is being pursued.
The wellness residence will be owned and operated by HDC Hyundai Development Company. It plans to provide premium services such as dining, housekeeping, and concierge, along with customized life-care differentiated from existing serviced residences. The wellness residence is also planned to incorporate hotel-style interior elements.

The Sharp Osan Station Arc City will rise on the only mixed-use residential-commercial site in the Segyo 2 District. Because the large on-site commercial facilities can accommodate diverse businesses such as restaurants, medical services, and kids' facilities, residents will be able to use future incoming infrastructure right within the complex.
In addition, the Segyo District boasts an optimal location geographically surrounded by the semiconductor mega cluster (Yongin), Dongtan Techno Valley (Hwaseong), and Pyeongtaek Seotan General Industrial Complex (Pyeongtaek), and is expected to gain value as a residential base close to workplaces.
