Tower Palace Two, Residential skyscraper in Gangnam district, Seoul, South Korea
Tower Palace Two is a residential complex of two twin towers, E and F, each 55 storeys and 191 metres tall, facing Dogok Station in Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The towers were designed by the American firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and developed by Samsung C&T. Together they hold 813 apartments and 148 officetel units, with underground parking for 2,376 cars.
The site held an Air Force Academy facility before Samsung planned a new headquarters there in 1994, abandoned after the 1997 IMF crisis. Towers E and F, first sketched at 42 to 93 floors, broke ground in 2000 and were finished in 2003, with residents moving in that February. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed them for Samsung C&T.
The name combines "tower" and "palace", and residents describe Tower Palace as an expensive high-rise apartment complex. The two towers appear in the 2012 film R2B: Return to Base and the 2018 film Believer. Tower E holds a GX room, cafe, reading room and banquet hall, while Tower F has an indoor pool, sauna, screen golf range and karaoke.
The complex is private housing, so the lobbies and residential floors are not open to visitors. It stands directly in front of Dogok Station on Seoul Metro Line 3 and the Bundang Line, which makes the twin towers easy to see from the street. The E and F towers share 2,376 parking spaces, about 2.47 per household.
The two towers, E and F, are twins of 55 floors and 191 metres each, holding 813 apartments and 148 studios. The complex appeared in the 2012 film R2B: Return to Base and the 2018 film Believer. In 2016 it set the highest jeonse deposit rent recorded in South Korea.
