Figure 20: Major Office transaction volume and Price per Pyeong in 2025
Unit: KRW Trillion(LHS), KRW Million (RHS) between transaction volume and asset pricing. While the CBD recorded the highest transaction volume of any district at approximately KRw 8.5 trillion, its unit price remained in the early KRW 30 million per pyeong range, lower than the GBD. In contrast, while the GBD's transaction volume trailed behind the CBD, its unit price reached the status as a premium asset hub. The BBD also maintained its position as a major district with a transaction volume of KRW 3.1 trillion and unit prices in the early KRW 20 million activity was concentrated within the three major business districts, the YBD saw no Sl participation, indicating its exclusion from their preferences. In the GBD—which already boasts the highest unit prices—deals involving Sls pushed pricing even higher. This to secure core assets in already established prime locations. This trend is expected to accelerate in 2026. Amidst persistent domestic and international uncertainty, the selective deployment of institutional capital is likely to districts. As the market increasingly becomes driven by Sls, the upward standardization of unit prices is expected to emerge as a key market indicator.
