The Skyscraper was designed to represent Songdo City. It would have included offices, residential space, and a hotel. It would have been a Korean landmark upon completion. The complex was due to be located at the US$35 billion New Songdo City, and would have covered over 6 km2 (2.3 sq mi) of land, about 32 km (20 mi) from the nation's capital, Seoul.[6] Developer Portman Holdings, run by John Portman, signed an agreement with South Korean officials to build the tower.[2][7] Construction started with groundbreaking on 20 June 2008.[7] Construction halted in 2009. Construction resumed in 2013, but the project was cancelled in 2016.
