Hyundai Engineering said it plans to begin sales in May for Hills State Guwol Art Park, which will be developed on the site of the former Lotte Department Store in Guwol-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon. Located in the heart of Incheon's old downtown, the project is expected to draw strong interest as a complex signaling the start of redevelopment in the area.
Hills State Guwol Art Park will comprise four buildings from six basement levels to a maximum 39 stories above ground, with 496 units sized 84 and 101 square meters by net area. It features both the widely preferred standard layout and the recently popular mid-to-large layouts. The unit mix by type is ▲84㎡A 248 units ▲84㎡B 124 units ▲101㎡ 124 units.
Hills State Guwol Art Park stands out for its well-balanced environment and convenience, as it will be built on the symbolic site of the former Lotte Department Store in Guwol-dong. In particular, the complex is a station-area property directly connected to Arts Center Station on Incheon Line 1, offering excellent transportation access. In addition, at Incheon City Hall Station (transfer station for Incheon Lines 1 and 2), one stop from Arts Center Station, the GTX-B line linking Songdo and Maseok is slated to stop, further enhancing transit convenience. Once GTX-B opens, residents using Arts Center Station will be able to reach key areas in central Seoul, such as Yeouido and Seoul Station, in about 20 to 30 minutes.
The Hills State Guwol Art Park complex is adjacent to the approximately 350,000-square-meter Central Park, with Seunghak Mountain and Incheon Aetdeul nearby, allowing residents to enjoy both city and nature. The area already has established infrastructure, including Lotte Department Store Incheon, Guwol-dong Rodeo Street, and Gachon University Gil Medical Center, and the complex will include a large commercial facility of about 6,337 pyeong, offering strong residential convenience.
Hills State Guwol Art Park also carries symbolism as the complex signaling the beginning of change in Guwol-dong, the old downtown of Incheon where development is intensifying. Various planned development catalysts around Guwol-dong are nearby, positioning the area to benefit from future value gains.
Large-scale projects are in progress around the site. Notably, the Incheon Housing & City Development Corporation is advancing the Guwol i-City development, creating a complex on about 2.2 million square meters in Guwol-dong. The plan envisions approximately 16,000 households and more than 39,000 residents, with a mixed-use space combining culture and startups, and a city specialized in health care.
A project to develop the former Guwol agricultural and fisheries market site into a mixed-use town is also underway, and another project is being pursued to integrate the Incheon Bus Terminal and Lotte Department Store into a mixed cultural space where shopping, business, residential, and cultural functions coexist.
Hills State Guwol Art Park will enhance residential comfort with Hills State's distinctive design. A curtain-wall-look exterior will strengthen its symbolism as a revival icon for Incheon's old downtown, with a primarily south-facing layout and a four-bay plate-type design for all units except some. A cross-ventilation layout improves daylighting, airflow, and openness. By type, features such as entry and corridor pantries, powder rooms, and dressing rooms expand storage and space efficiency.
The Hills State Guwol Art Park model home will be located at 1547-1, Guwol-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon, and is scheduled to open in April.
