Commercial Buildings for Sale in Seoul

What's a "building" purchase in Seoul?
This is buying the entire building, not a single unit — typically a mixed-use or commercial property with rental income. Small mixed-use buildings (꼬마빌딩) in well-located neighborhoods are especially sought-after by investors for the combination of rental yield and land value.
What investors look at
- Rental yield — current and achievable rents versus price.
- Location and land value — the plot often drives long-term return as much as the structure.
- Condition and tenancy — remaining leases, occupancy and any required capital works.
Can foreigners buy a building in Korea?
