The 102 Incheon Tower is a supertall twin tower proposed for construction in Songdo International City, Incheon, South Korea.[4] The design consists of two 151 floor, 600 m (1,969 ft) supertall skyscrapers connected by three skybridges.[5] Construction started with groundbreaking on 20 June 2008.[6] If completed on schedule in 2015, the building will become the tallest twin towers in the world, surpassing the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and one of the tallest buildings in Asia.[1] After the late-2000s recession, the tower was postponed with the possibility of a redesign at a lower height. The height of the supertall was reduced from 780 metres to 600 metres ping the design the same.
The Skyscraper is designed to represent Songdo City. It will include offices, residential space, and a hotel. It will be a Korean landmark upon completion. The complex is located at the US$35 billion New Songdo City, which will cover over 6 km2 (2.3 sq mi) of land and is about 32 km (20 mi) from the nation's capital, Seoul.[7] Developer Portman Holdings, run by John Portman, signed an agreement with South Korean officials to build the tower.[3][6]
