Daesung D3 City, located in the dense capital city of Seoul, Korea, sets a new standard in mixed-use transit-oriented development connected to the city’s busiest metro line. The new cultural and commercial destination is one of the city’s first fully integrated developments of its kind, made up of over 300,000 square-meters of high-rise office and hotel, a multi-level commercial retail, entertainment and cultural complex, and over six
acres of public landscape, parks and plazas.

D3 City emerges as Seoul’s primary live, work, play, and stay destination—an authentic and vibrant pedestrian-oriented district with a six-level 80,000 square-meter retail complex and a major performance hall at its rooftop as its centerpiece. A 42-story landmark office and hotel tower rises from the commercial district, while a new public park connects the project to the Shindorim Station. Two adjacent 50-story residential towers complete the new urban complex. D3 City attracts millions of visitors annually, resulting in one of the most visited destinations in Seoul.
