Are there any pictures of its construction?

according to emporis.com, it said that IBC is under construction, but I did not notice anything..

What about Lotte Tower near Songnam?

What about Lotte Tower near Songnam?

It's still proposed. I don't think that the KORAF will let them bulid it though.

Because of height restrictions?

According to emporis?
They don't know anything about this.
I highly doubt they know anything about korean projects
better than I know?
Maybe not

서울 IBC는 11월에 첫삽을 뜰겁니다.

우리가 보기엔 참 공사도 아직 안하고 뭐하나 하고 답답할지 모르지만
그건 너무 DMC전체 계획은 보지않고 IBC만 보니까 공사도 않하고 가만히 있는 것 같아보이는 겁니다.

2년전 아무것도 없는 상태에서 계획 세우고 지금은 DMC가 50%이상 주인을 찾을 정도로 성공적이고 FORCA도 IBC 건립에 대해 공식적으로 취소의사도 밝히지 않고 추진의사를 계속 밝히고 있는데 서울시 이명박시장이 일방적 취소로 잠시 답보상태로 빠지다가 최근 사업시행자공고를 했고 설명회들 최종선정작업이 끝나면 공사 본격적으로 들어가 아마 부산롯데월드보다 먼저 지어질겁니다.

다만 580m가 아닌 540m로 축소될 것같군요. 이미 세계최고층의 야심을 버린지 오랩니다.그냥 높이보단 한국건축사에 길이남을 명작으로 서울의 새 랜드마크로 지어으면 좋겠습니다.

emporis says it's approved, not under construction. The site specifically mentions that the Korean Air Force has decided not to enforce the height restriction.

I am not sure what i will belive here, but on emporis.com you see some overview rederings of Seoul Digital Media City where you also see the International Business Centre. But if you visit the homepage to them you can't see and International Business Centre in their rederings. Instead you see a shorter tower, which is about half the size of International Business Centre, what is true?

That's the original plan which was 340m tall I believe. The height was increased to 540~580m last year but since the new plan (which would be the fourth) of the tower will be released during December, they won't change anything until then.

about time

Thanx, i really hope they will give out quite much information and rederings, i've been waiting for more about this project for over a year now...:)

I worked for Second Lotte in Seoul, Korea from "our" office in the USA in 1997. The problem with airports, and I told them that this building was going to be impossible to build with 100 something floors, his that you can not have a building in front or next to a cockpit, but they didn't care. They wanted to buy the airport and to change it's location.
... I want a higher salary!!!... :eek2:

The airport was closed a few months ago... Now the Lotte World II project is a little more viable ;)

LOL Nice name. :lol:

My first post from work, :D.

oooooooooooooooh
may i ask what kind of business you are working for?

Télécommunication and business technologies. I can give you the complex name in French but it won't help much.

cool

btw

in http://dmc.seoul.go.kr/english/index.jsp (the webpage for dmc)
they have this 30~50 story building where there shoul dbe IBC.....

The plans on the website are nonetheless incredibly ambitious!

Check out http://dmc.seoul.go.kr/english/jsp/about/dms_scenario.jsp . They say the Koreans are the most wired people in the world (look out Japan!), and, whether or not all this stuff will actually be done, just the ambition of it is impressive.

Korea has the most internet users per capita (0.69 per capita) in the world. On the other hand, Japan is actually quite behind. (If I'm right, Japan barely makes to the top five.) Iceland is the second, closely followed by other Scandinavian countries like Norway. Canada, U.S., and Australia are quickly catching up as well.

Because of height restrictions?
Yes the Korean Air Force forced a reduction of the height, but nothing has really been said.

to 540m?

omg that sucks

"다만 580m가 아닌 540m로 축소될 것같군요. 이미 세계최고층의 야심을 버린지 오랩니다.그냥 높이보단 한국건축사에 길이남을 명작으로 서울의 새 랜드마크로 지어으면 좋겠습니다."

maybe who knows :?

well, thats kinda acceptable, but i think lotte 2 in jamsil is trying to be the opposite
"한국건축사에 길이남을 명작보단 높이로" :sleepy:

to 540m?
I'm sure it will be to this height.

how do u know??

Well on emporis they stated the hight will be lowered, but I'm only assuming that height. Not 100% sure.

oh,,,,hehe

Fair enough for saftey reasons, I would rather have a building 400m high than a 600m building that has a F-16 crashed into it.

400m is "uber" tall :D

:colgate:

uber funny. :)

nooooo :(...In other words this Building is on hold, and this is from the Digital Media City Website.

At the broken words right click>encoding>Korean. That should work!

:lol:

>.< ¤»¤»¤»

i really liked the old design but i just hope it gets built eventhough it's not the tallest in the world. I just want to see more super tall in seoul as soon as possible.

true, but changing it to WTB would be certainly a good idea, but im afraid it is highly unlikely..

Just to let you guys know, the deal with the Korean Air Force is to limit the building height to 540m, and building an anti-aircraft installation on the roof. I wouldn't be worrying about some F-16 crashing into the building, because this building is mean and armed with missiles.

As for the progress, they'll start receiving new applicants beginning Feb. 2005.

"As for the progress, they'll start receiving new applicants beginning Feb. 2005"

whats this mean??

"As for the progress, they'll start receiving new applicants beginning Feb. 2005"

whats this mean??

The Seoul Metropolitan Government was to select an applicant that will build the IBC, but rejected all three applicants, citing reasons that all of them don't meet the qualifications. The SMG will restart the bidding proccess for the IBC project in Feb. 2005 with more articulate qualification standards.

Whats the current status?

Is it still unclear what will happend, or has the tower been reduced in height, or have they changed the design completely to a 300m tower as i saw in some renderings? :)

Any news or pics from the Construction Site???

A 580m supertall and no infos, that make's me ill

Got some new info today. The public bidding has been delayed to 2007. A correspondent from the Seoul Metropolitan Government said the IBC site will be developed last in the DMC Project, so that there is plenty of developed residential zones around the site when the public bidding starts.

so it's not shure that the tower will get build? or is the bidding because of the construction site?

I don't represent the Seoul Metropolitan Government(SMG hereafter) so I can't give any assurances... but my guess is that since the SMG declined all the past public biddings because the bidders allocated too much space of the proposed project to residential purposes, the SMG would first develop the residential zones around the area first, before starting the public bidding of the IBC project. Regardless, the IBC site remains as it is, and the demand for it is very high.

I take it it's dead as a dodo

me slowly also

I don't think the International Business Centre will be built at all.

^^ cant find any info about it online or renderings... what's the story?

Lau posted that in Urbanity (http://www.urbanity.es/foro/index.php)

yea burj dubai is DEFINITELY not under 600m

I don't think the International Business Centre will be built at all.

That's a shame, I love the design.

"Seoul Landmark Consortium" has been selected as the preferred bidder to this project.

서울 'DMC 랜드마크' 건설사업자 확정
기사입력 2008-05-30 18:07

우선협상대상자에 '서울랜드마크'

(서울=연합뉴스) 박성진 기자 = 서울 상암동 'DMC(디지털미디어시티)'에 국내 최고 높이로 들어설 예정인 '랜드마크빌딩' 용지공급 우선협상대상자로 한국교직원공제회 등이 참여한 서울랜드마크컨소시엄이 최종 선정됐다.

서울시는 30일 DMC기획위원회를 열어 이같이 결정했다고 밝혔다.

시는 이에 앞선 지난 28일 랜드마크빌딩 용지(3만7천280㎡) 공급대상자 선정 실무위원회를 열어 입찰 에 참가한 2개 컨소시엄의 사업계획을 평가, 서울랜드마크컨소시엄을 우선협상 후보사업자로 선정했다.

DMC기획위원회는 그러나 이날 심의에서 서울랜드마크컨소시엄에 세계적인 건축물이 될 수 있도록 디자인과 설계 등을 보완하도록 했으며, 이를 위해 설계 국제 공모를 권장했다.

또 공공성 등을 확보할 수 있도록 관련전문가로 MA(총괄조정)위원회를 구성, 전반적인 사업 추진과정에 참여하도록 하고, 토지 제공가격을 추가 협의가 가능하면 제안입찰가격보다 높은 가격으로 받을 수 있도록 권고했다.

이에 따라 서울랜드마크컨소시엄측은 오는 9월 중순까지 서울시와 매매 금액 등을 협의한 뒤 토지공급 계약을 맺고 'DMC 랜드마크빌딩' 건설공사를 내년 착공, 2014년 완공할 예정이다.

서울랜드마크컨소시엄은 이번 입찰에서 '새 천년을 향한 빛(Seoul lite)'이라는 주제로 이 곳에 3조4천억원의 사업비를 들여 백화점과 컨벤션센터, 호텔, 주상복합아파트 등을 갖춘 지하 9층, 지상 133층, 높이 640m의 건물을 짓는 사업계획을 제안한 바 있다.

그러나 이번 심사에서 탈락한 글로벌랜드마크 컨소시엄측이 평가 결과에 반발하고 담합 의혹을 제기하며 향후 소송도 불사하겠다는 입장이어서 사업 추진에 차질을 빚을 가능성도 배제할 수 없다.

I agree. The old design IMO was the best-looking skyscraper.

The old design was so much better.

So I guess it's dead and buried :(

I think this project "International Business Centre-Seoul" still continued as the renamed "Seoul Lite" project, as following link.
