  • Sale-and-leaseback structure expertly designed for large-scale asset monetization

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cushman & Wakefield's Corporate Tailored Solution team (CTS team) in Korea has announced the successful closing of the sale of G-Tower, a landmark prime office asset located in Guro, Seoul - breaking through a tightened real estate financing market to deliver one of the most significant transactions of the year.

The deal marks the largest office transaction by gross floor area in Korea's commercial real estate market in the first half of 2026.

The deal, valued at approximately $460 million (KRW 700 billion), marks the largest office transaction by gross floor area in Korea's commercial real estate market in the first half of 2026, drawing widespread attention as a landmark deal in the constrained large-scale corporate headquarters sale and corporate real estate market.

The asset spans a total of 1.8 million square feet, and the successful close - at a price that fully reflected the asset's underlying value despite a high-interest-rate environment and heightened market uncertainty - makes this transaction particularly noteworthy. The CTS team meticulously structured a sale-and-leaseback arrangement, enabling the client to simultaneously unlock large-scale asset liquidity and preserve financial flexibility - precisely meeting the client's objectives.

While competitors in the commercial real estate transaction market have largely focused on fragmented sale advisory services, Cushman & Wakefield's CTS team took a differentiated approach centered on a 'One-Channel Integrated Solution' that breaks down internal silos to deliver a seamlessly coordinated response to complex corporate client needs. This is widely regarded as the defining factor behind the deal's success.

To bring this transaction to a successful close, the CTS team deployed specialists across every dimension of real estate - going well beyond a standard sale process to provide pre-sale asset positioning advisory, rigorous market due diligence, targeted investment marketing, institutional-grade market reporting, and sophisticated office lease structuring - delivering a fully integrated strategy from start to finish.

Dan Kim, Deputy Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield in Korea commented: "A growing number of large corporations and technology companies are actively exploring headquarters sales and real estate portfolio rebalancing to improve liquidity and optimize asset efficiency. Building on our One-Channel capability to maximize the value of prime office assets - and going well beyond conventional brokerage - we will continue to maintain an unrivaled competitive position in the corporate real estate advisory market."
