Tower G, or simply Tower Palace Three, is a 73-floor luxury residential skyscraper in Seoul, South Korea. The structure was originally designed to be 93 stories high, but was scaled down to meet city zoning regulations.[1] Still, it was the tallest building in the country when it was completed in 2004. It was surpassed by the Northeast Asia Trade Tower in Incheon in 2009. At 263.7 m (865 ft) high[2] it is the eighth-tallest all-residential building in the world.[citation needed]

Designed by United States–based architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, its shape is formed by three oval lobes joined together, yielding Y-shaped floor geometry that maximizes views and floor space. It pioneered the way for the buttressed core, whose potential for megatall skyscrapers found expression in UAE's Burj Khalifa.[citation needed]
