Otis Elevator Korea (Otis Korea) said it will replace aging elevators at 7 major apartment complexes nationwide. The replacement covers a total of 279 units. The project spans the Seoul metropolitan area, including Seoul, Gimpo, Incheon, Namyangju and Yongin, as well as Jinhae, South Gyeongsang Province. Otis Korea said the effort is helping accelerate the modernization of residential environments.
The company said the backdrop to the project is the deepening aging of domestic housing complexes. As a result, residential environment improvement projects are emerging as a key task.
According to the 2025 Census of Population and Housing results from the National Data Agency (registered census method), 56.0% of all homes in the country were more than 20 years old. In the same 2025 Census of Population and Housing results from the National Data Agency, homes more than 30 years old accounted for 30.6%.
As the share of aging homes rises, elevator modernization is drawing attention as a key solution for improving residential environments, enhancing accessibility and extending building lifespans.
Otis Korea emphasized that it provides customized replacement solutions optimized for each site’s environment and characteristics during the elevator replacement process. It said new replacement elevators can be equipped with the latest safety technologies and can also be fitted with the IoT-based digital solution Otis ONE, which supports remote diagnostics and proactive maintenance.
The company said it will replace key components such as the hoist machine and door control devices. It added that replacing these major parts improves operating stability.
It also said it will apply coated steel belt, or flat-belt, technology to replace existing steel ropes. As a result of applying flat belts, noise and vibration perceived by passengers and residents are significantly reduced, the company said.
CEO Jeong Ji-hoon of Otis Korea said the importance of safe and convenient mobility environments is growing as the elderly population increases in South Korea. He added that Otis has experience and global capabilities in carrying out highly complex elevator modernization projects worldwide, and said the company will provide customers with optimal solutions based on that experience and those capabilities.
