The main core is already taller than the Lotte Castle Gold Towers. Mega columns that will support the huge curtain walls are rising at the same speed. These columns will meet the main core at some point. Click to open larger images. (Photo courtesy of Skyscrapers)

The core of the tower is getting close to the ground level. The construction of Lotte Mart here has started too. Click to open larger images. (Photo courtesy of Skyscrapers)
They have been using the fast-track construction method, and the core of the tower has finally come up on the ground. Soon, every three day, one floor will be finished.
It has been two months since the construction started and it seems to start accelerating. The ground-making of Super Tower 123 is going swimmingly, and the basement stories of Lotte shopping centers seem pretty massive too. Let's keep our eyes on it.
Lotte World 2 Shopping Complex got finally approved in last November, and since then what has happened? The setting-out has been ready for 16 years, but now they seem to be doing excavation and pile-driving. Considering how massive the whole complex is, I think it is going to take a while to finish the entire construction. Let me tell you some brief information about Lotte World 2 & Lotte Super Tower 123. As you probably know, it is located right across the original Lotte World Complex in Jamsil. Lotte World 2 consists of 7 low-rise buildings and Super Tower. When it is all completed, it will be the world's 6th largest shopping complex (It will be slightly smaller than the Dubai Mall). Lotte Department Store, Lotte Mart, and many other cultural facilities will be included. Lotte Super Tower 123 has 123 levels as you may have expected and its height will be 555m. Lotte Hotel, premium offices, observation decks and a sky lounge will be the main tenants. There were a lot of conflicts about the construction of this complex, but as they have decided to build this, I hope everything will be fine from now on.
