Samsung Tower Palace

Seoul, Korea

The Samsung Tower Palace is a group of seven luxury residential towers, all built between 2002 and 2004. They are located in Gangnam district (previous and next page). Tower G, which is 73 floors and 264m (866 ft) high, was the tallest building in Korea until 2009, when the Northeast Asia Trade Tower overtook it.
