Parc1 (Korean: 파크원) is a complex of buildings in Yeouido, Seoul, South Korea.[1] It stands 333 m (1,093 ft) tall and contains 69 floors.[2][3] Construction stopped in 2011 but resumed in early 2017.
History
[edit]Parc1 is a US$1.5-billion shopping/hotel/office complex realized by Skylan Properties Korea Ltd., a foreign-invested property development and management services group with offices in Seoul, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur. Morgan Stanley, a global investment bank, was engaged as the financial advisor to arrange financing for the project.
Parc1 was the current Tongil Parking Lot site, a 46,465 square metre plot set between financial and residential districts and bordering Yeouido Park.
Designed by architect Lord Richard Rogers,[4] chief architectural advisor to the mayor of London, the central structure will be a six-story glass mall, offering space for 400 stores.
