According to information from Chosun Ilbo, the transaction was made on September 17, with a price of 14.2 billion won (equivalent to about 10 million USD).

The spacious living space includes 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, luxuriously designed, in line with the standards of a luxury apartment in central Seoul.

The building was completed in August 2020 and currently has 29 apartments, spread over 20 floors, all in a mezzanine design. Initially, the project was named The Penthouse Cheongdam, then changed to PH129 to emphasize the location at 129 Cheongdam-dong, one of the most expensive streets in Seoul.

This is also one of the most interested apartments in Cheongdam, where famous people choose to live and invest, contributing to increasing the value of real estate in the area.
