The 63 Building (Hangul: 63 빌딩 or 육삼 빌딩 ), officially the 63 City, is a skyscraper on

Yeouido island, overlooking the Han River in Seoul, South Korea. It was designed by the American
architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM).[1] At 249 meters (817 ft) high, it was the
tallest building outside North America when it opened in July 1985, and remains the tallest gold-
cladded structure in the world. It stood as South Korea's tallest building until the Hyperion Tower
surpassed it in 2003, but remained the country's tallest commercial building until the
Northeast Asia Trade Tower was topped-out in 2009.[2]

63 official stories, of which 60 are above ground level and 3 are basement floors. The skyscraper is
the headquarters of Korea Life Insurance, Industrial Bank of Korea Securities, and other major
