Have you ever heard of it or been to it? Do you know where the tallest building in Korea is? It's Lotte World Tower!. It is a famous building not only in Korea but also in Asia. Let's find out the interesting story of Lotte Tower!

With 123 floors above ground and 554.5m in height, it holds records such as the tallest building in Korea, the 5th tallest building in the world, and the tallest building in the OECD as of 2023. It is being used as the Korean headquarters of the Lotte Group. The total area is 420,309.54㎡ (127,143 pyeong). Since there is an observatory that anyone can come in and out of freely if they pay, it inherited the reputation of Yeouido 63 Building and Namsan Seoul Tower and has established itself as a new landmark representing Korea beyond Seoul. In the Songpa-gu area, only high-rise apartments are prepared, but there are generally no other skyscrapers, so the height of Lotte World Tower stands out even more. On the 31st floor, there is also SKY31, a rest area where anyone can go up and enjoy a cup of coffee for free by presenting your ID.

Signiel Residence

I thought a lot about 'Lotte Tower is such a tall building, how nice it would be to live there'. There are hotels and apartments in Lotte Tower! It is a residential facility with 223 households and is classified as an officetel. Located on the 42nd to 71st floors, the supply area is 209 ~ 1,245 m², and the exclusive area is 133 ~ 829 m², consisting only of medium/large sized rooms. Of these, the 70th to 71st floor super penthouses are about 356 pyeong, and the price is said to be 37 billion won!!! One of the things that is very different from general apartment houses is that they provide the same convenience services as hotels located above residences, such as meals and cleaning. Security is pretty tight. As a result, it is inconvenient for residents to get around, such as having to change elevators three times to go down from the unit to the first floor. There is a point that the delivery drivers can't enter after 10pm, so the residents have to go down to the first floor to get the food delivered haha.

Lotte World Tower has a duty free shop and an aquarium! Although it is large, it is a place where you can see various solar animals and fish. And Lotte World Tower was completed at the end of 2016 with an area of ​​807,507m2, 123 floors, and a height of 555m, and now has a premium lounge bar! On the 122nd floor is Seoul Sky Cafe, Angel-in-us. It will take a lot of time to see all of Lotte Tower, right? lol
