- The National Pension Service (NPS) has purchased One Grove for 2.3 trillion won ($1.6 billion), marking its largest single real estate investment in South Korea.
- NPS invested 820 billion won as an equity investor, with the remainder financed through loans from banks and insurance companies, led by Shinhan Bank.
- One Grove is a new landmark complex in Magok, comprising office space, a hotel, and a shopping arcade, covering a gross floor area of 463,098 square meters.
- The deal was finalized after the complex's completion in September, following delays due to Taeyoung Engineering & Construction's financial issues.
- The occupancy rate is expected to reach 40% with DL E&C moving into the office space.
- NPS has allocated 2 trillion won for domestic real estate investments this year, the largest ever for a single year.
- The closure of the One Grove deal alleviates Taeyoung E&C's debt burden and raises hopes for its exit from debt rescheduling soon.
- A consortium led by the Korea Scientists and Engineers Mutual-Aid Association was chosen as the preferred buyer of NC Tower from NCSOFT Corp., potentially marking a significant office deal in Gangnam.
