market overview

A capital-centric market backed by strong conglomerate demand

South Korea runs one of Asia’s most concentrated office markets, with Seoul accounting for the majority of national flex supply and the overwhelming share of large-occupier demand. The capital’s commercial activity clusters in the Gangnam Business District, Yeouido’s financial island and the CBD around Gwanghwamun, home to Samsung, Hyundai, SK and most of the chaebol HQs.

Busan sits second as the country’s main port, with demand in Seomyeon and Centum City supported by shipping, film and logistics occupiers at pricing materially below Seoul.

Daegu carries textile, mechanical and medical device demand from the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Free Economic Zone.

Product mix in Seoul is unusually deep for the region, with premium international serviced supply sitting alongside a well-developed domestic coworking market led by FastFive and SparkPlus.
