Local Apartment Subscriptions Strengthen Near National Industrial Complexes, Key Data Explains Why

According to Real Estate R114 on March 18, 2026, four of the five apartment complexes with the highest subscription competition rates among non-metropolitan local presales last year were located near national industrial complexes. A representative case was Changwon Central I-Park in South Gyeongsang Province, supplied in December last year. The complex posted an average first-priority subscription competition rate of 706.6 to 1, ranking first in the local presale market. Its proximity to the Changwon National Industrial Complex, where about 120,000 people work and the operating rate exceeds 90%, was cited as a key factor. Amid population decline and slower regional economies, complexes near job-based industrial zones drew relatively strong attention. Source: hankyung.com
