Hanwha Corporation's construction division will launch pre-sales in October for Hanwha Forena Jije Station, a large-scale residential complex of more than 1,000 units in Segyeo-dong, Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province. Situated within the Pyeongtaek Jije Station lifestyle zone — where residents can use Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1 and high-speed rail — the complex is also expected to benefit from expanded regional transit links, including a planned GTX extension.

According to Hanwha Corporation's construction division Monday, Hanwha Forena Jije Station will rise on a site at 725 Segyeo-dong, Pyeongtaek, comprising 12 buildings with two below-ground and up to 27 above-ground floors, for a total of 1,098 units. The unit breakdown by exclusive use area is: 452 units of 84 square meters (Type A), 208 units of 84 square meters (Type B), 168 units of 84 square meters (Type C), 122 units of 84 square meters (Type D) and 148 units of 116 square meters (Type A). The 84-square-meter units account for more than 80 percent of the total supply.

The complex sits along the corridor connecting central Pyeongtaek, Godeok International New Town and Brain City. Samsung Electronics' Pyeongtaek campus is also within roughly 5 kilometers of the complex, making it well-positioned to attract demand from employees seeking a short commute.

Regional transit links centered on Pyeongtaek Jije Station continue to expand. The station currently offers access to Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1 and high-speed rail. The government is pursuing an extension of the GTX-A line from Dongtan Station to Pyeongtaek Jije Station — a project that conditionally cleared a central investment review by the Ministry of Interior and Safety last year and is now moving through follow-up procedures. An extension of the GTX-C line through Hwaseong, Osan and Pyeongtaek to Cheonan and Asan is also under consideration.

Pyeongtaek Jije Station was also selected as the top site in a pilot program for future-oriented transit hubs that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport launched in 2023. As plans advance to create a transfer hub integrating the existing rail network with GTX and other transport modes, the station is expected to grow into a major transit center connecting southern Pyeongtaek and southern Gyeonggi Province over the medium to long term.

Road access is also strong. Via interchanges including Songtan IC and Anseong JC, residents can reach the Pyeongtaek-Jecheon Expressway and the Gyeongbu Expressway, providing connections to key destinations across the Greater Seoul area and the Chungcheong region.

Everyday amenities are close at hand. E-mart Pyeongtaek, Costco Pyeongtaek, Traders Wholesale Club and Starfield Anseong are all accessible by vehicle. The Bijeon-dong commercial district and medical facilities are within the lifestyle zone, and schools including Jije Elementary School and Segyeo Middle School are nearby.

All units are oriented primarily to face south, and the buildings are spaced to maximize distance between them. Landscaped areas will include a central plaza, a pet park, a children's playground and residents' fitness facilities. Planned community amenities include a fitness center, a group exercise room, a Pilates room, a golf practice range, a screen golf facility, a daycare and childcare center, a small library and a reading room.

The unit layouts feature a circular floor plan to optimize interior circulation and storage. The 84-square-meter Type A units — the most numerous in the complex — are designed in a four-bay flat-slab configuration and will include a dressing room and a circular pantry. The complex will also feature a ceiling-mounted electric vehicle charging system called EV Air Station, developed by Hanwha Corporation's construction division, along with an elevator design selected for the 2026 Good Design Award.

"Hanwha Forena Jije Station is a large complex where residents can enjoy everything the Jije Station lifestyle zone has to offer," said Jang Young-gi, pre-sales director at Hanwha Corporation's construction division. "We expect strong interest not only from Pyeongtaek but also from buyers in Dongtan, Suwon and Osan."

The model home is scheduled to open next month, with move-in set for September 2029.
