Investment Highlights

The Asset is an office building completed in 2022 with a total floor area of 6,638 pyeong (21,942m2), featuring state-of-the-art physical specifications rarely seen in the Gangnam area. Located at the intersection of Gangnam-daero and Teheran-ro at Gangnam Station intersection, it offers excellent visibility and exposure, providing high promotional effects for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

As of June 2024, the office space has a Weighted Average Lease Expiry (WALE) of 3.0 years, which reduces to 2.1 years when considering mutual early termination options. The potential large vacant spaces that may occur upon lease expirations are highly sought after by premium potential tenants, thus lowering the risk of future vacancies. In addition to its robust leasing status, the Asset possesses significant value-add potential through improved lease terms reflecting future market conditions.

The lower floors of the Asset (B2 to 4F) have ceiling heights ranging from 5.2m to 6.0m, providing hardware that allows for interchangeability between retail and office use. Based on the enduring importance of location value, independent of market volatility, the Asset's exceptional locational value offers the potential to maximize returns by flexibly responding to changing office and retail market environments.
