Bottom: The BIFC has 63 stories with four basement floors and it occupies a 102,352 square-meter (1097-square-feet) area. It is 289 meters (948 feet) tall, which is 40 meters more than the golden 63 Building in Yeouido, a Seoul landmark. Next month, five public companies, including Korea Asset Management Corp., will begin operating in the building.By Song Bong-geun
