Haeundae LCT The Sharp (Korean: 해운대 엘시티 더샵) is a major urban development project in Jung-dong, Haeundae District, Busan, South Korea. Located in front of Haeundae Beach, it consists of a 411.6m (1,350.4feet), 101-floor supertall landmark tower used as a hotel, and two 85-floor residential skyscrapers. It has an urban entertainment complex at the base housing a shopping mall, a hot spring spa and a water park. The landmark tower houses luxury and residential hotels with a convention center and an observatory on the 100th floor.
The towers are Busan's 2nd-4th supertall skyscrapers after Haeundae Doosan We've the Zenith, tall. LCT tower is the second-tallest tower[2] in South Korea after the Lotte World Tower in Seoul and is one of the world's top 10 most expensive skyscrapers.[3]
