Hyundai Engineering has been awarded the Housing Innovation Award at the 2026 Aju Economy Construction Awards. The company plans to showcase a residential space centered on actual demand through the 'Hills State Godeok Elitist' project in Pyeongtaek's Godeok International New Town.
On October 21, Aju Economy selected Hyundai Engineering for the Housing Innovation Award at the 2026 Aju Economy Construction Awards.
The 'Hills State Godeok Elitist' will be located in blocks A-31, A-34, and A-35 of the Godeok International Business District in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province. The development will consist of three blocks with a maximum height of 33 stories, featuring small to medium-sized units that are popular among actual buyers, with areas of 58 square meters and 84 square meters.
This project will utilize Hyundai Engineering's residential brand 'Hills State' and will incorporate specialized designs that enhance natural light, ventilation, and storage efficiency. The layout will focus on a 4Bay design and include various flat types to create a comfortable indoor environment.
Inside the units, there will be spacious master bedroom walk-in closets and pantry spaces at the entrance, with some units offering additional alpha rooms to maximize space utilization. Each unit will also have a dedicated storage area for larger items such as camping gear and bicycles.
Community facilities for residents will include a fitness center, indoor golf practice area, group exercise rooms, and a small library, along with childcare centers, senior centers, and care facilities planned for each block.
The Hills State brand has consistently ranked first in the apartment brand reputation survey conducted by the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute for 90 consecutive months from April 2019 to September 2026. It has also been ranked first in the premium brand index (KS-PBI) for multi-family housing and smart home services from 2023 to 2026.
Another notable aspect is the application of a price ceiling for sales. Amid rising construction material costs and labor expenses, this price ceiling is expected to enhance competitiveness in pricing for new apartment sales.
The educational environment is also favorable, with new schools planned nearby, including Godeok 8 Elementary School and Godeok 6 Middle School, along with Songtan High School in the vicinity. The development is also close to an education town where an international school is set to be established, enhancing access to educational facilities.
Proximity to the Samsung Electronics Pyeongtaek Campus is another advantage. As Samsung expands its production facilities at the campus, there is potential for increased housing demand from workers in the semiconductor industry.
Transportation options include access to the Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1 at Seojeongni Station and the SRT and Line 1 at Pyeongtaek Jije Station. A bus rapid transit (BRT) stop connecting the Godeok International New Town is also planned nearby, and a direct KTX line from Suwon is in development, promising improved regional transportation access.
Living infrastructure is abundant, with the new Pyeongtaek City Hall and central commercial areas nearby, as well as existing amenities from the first phase of the Godeok International New Town. Residents will also enjoy green spaces such as Hamgaksan Central Park, Hamgaksan, and Daengdang Park in close proximity.
Hyundai Engineering aims to enhance the quality of residential spaces and living convenience based on its extensive experience in various housing projects, including multi-family housing, mixed-use developments, and redevelopment. The company plans to continue supplying homes that combine brand competitiveness with specialized designs to improve residential satisfaction.
