Renderings were released today. This project is pretty much a go, and is set to go under construction, which is expected to begin in early 2017.

Very nice indeed. Seems like it will compliment Lotte Tower rather well. Nice to see Seoul finally get some height.

My thoughts exactly. The two buildings will be like foil characters in that the LWT is curvy and the GBC monolithic. But at the same time, the two will stand out among the highrise buildings in Seoul, and render the skyline more dramatic. The only problem I had with the LWT was that it was extremely lonely. Looks like its gonna get a best friend.

1. Hyundai will submit their official plans regarding this project that reflect prior consultations with Seoul city

2. The city consults community members

3. Details of the project go on display and it will subsequently be reviewed by the 'City and Architecture Joint Committee' for approval.

4. Specific plans regarding construction will be made.

All of this will happen before Q1 or Q2 of 2017 for construction.
Below are some new renderings for the new Hyundai headquarters.

The height of this building is 553 METERS not 526.

Renderings Revealed for 105-Storey Seoul Tower

Quote:

Seoul-based Hyundai Motor Group, the fifth-largest automotive conglomerate in the world, has unveiled plans for a 105-storey tower, the centrepiece of a six-building scheme. To be built on land formerly owned by Korea Electric Power Corp., the entire Hyundai Global Business Center complex will contain 920,000 square metres of occupiable space.

A 553-metre tower housing offices, a hotel, retail, a convention centre, and a two-storey rooftop observation deck will be the landmark component of the site. It will be neighboured by five smaller buildings, consisting of a 40-storey hotel and office tower, an eight-storey building for sales facilities, a seven-storey building reserved for performances, and a pair of three-floor exhibition and convention structures.

Main old building demolish step by step

Gorgeous proposal, although I have to say I like the old tower too even if it wasn't necessarily the latest and greatest!
