Slated for completion in 2025, this skyscraper houses only 16 units from floors 4 to 20, which exemplifies the epitome of exclusivity and luxury.

Last year, the penthouse at the top floor, dubbed the "Super Penthouse," caused quite a stir with its asking price of 350 billion Won, the highest in the country.
