The opening day of the model home on August 14 saw the appearance of 'tteotdabang,' or pop-up real estate agencies, with agents gathering information from prospective buyers. This activity is seen as an indicator of future demand, fueled by the prospect of convenient commutes for semiconductor cluster workers and the attractive pricing resulting from the government's housing price cap system.

The first phase of the complex will offer 589 units, with a total of 1,250 units planned across two phases. The apartments range from 59 to 84 square meters, featuring design innovations such as optional glass walls in smaller rooms to enhance spaciousness and dual-facing windows in living rooms for better views. Larger units boast wide kitchens and ample storage, including pantry space at the entrance.

The appearance of 'tteotdabang' on the first day of the model home opening is interpreted as a move to gauge future demand.

The development emphasizes a car-free, park-like environment with ample green spaces and convenient amenities like electric vehicle charging stations and smart parking systems. Applications are open nationwide, with special consideration for workers within the industrial complex, who can apply even without a prior subscription to a housing savings account.

The price competitiveness due to the application of the housing price cap system is creating market interest even before sales.
