The Incheon Tower is a 151-floor, 610 m (2,001 ft) supertall tower in Incheon, South Korea currently under construction.[2] It will cover over six square kilometers of land and will be about 20 miles (32 km) away from the nation's capital, Seoul.

Atlanta-based developer Portman Holdings, run by John Portman, has already signed an agreement with South Korean officials to build this tower, which would surpass the current 264 meter (865 ft) Samsung Tower Palace 3 - Tower G as the tallest building in South Korea. The building will be part of a residential, office, and hotel complex, covering 1,500 acres (6 km²) and costing $11 billion. This tower is estimated to be completed in 2012. The Incheon Tower will be tied with the Guangzhou TV & Sightseeing Tower as the fifth-tallest building when it is complete after the Burj Dubai (818 m (2,684 ft) and Pentominium (618 m (2,028 ft)).

An agreement was signed with the Portman Consortium on 27 August 2007 to start construction on the Incheon Free Economic Zone, which will include the Incheon Tower. The Landmark City with the 151-story Incheon Tower (with a gross floor area of 600,000 ㎡) and the artificial lake (730,000 ㎡) will be developed in phases by 2017.
