In a statement Lotte Tour Development said,
The successful issuance of convertible bonds with an exceptional condition – despite the financial market uncertainty due to North Korea’s nuclear crisis – is a result of high growth potential of Jeju Dream Tower Integrated Resort, which will become a key tourist attraction in Jeju
The company has partnered with a Chinese real estate developer named Greenland Group for the project. China State Construction Engineering Corp will act as the contractor and has guaranteed a project completion along with providing an 18-month line of credit.
Lotte Tour Development said that the project will feature a 750 room hotel and related amenities, an observation deck, a luxury shopping mall along with a foreigner-only casino. These facilities will account for 59 percent of the project’s gross floor area (GFA). Partner Greenland Group will own and develop the remaining 41 percent as an 850-room apartment hotel. The total area available under the project is 303,737 square metres.
According to Lotte Tour Development, Jeju Dream Tower Integrated Resort will be the tallest building in Jeju Island with a height of 169 metres (554 feet). The tower will have 38 stories according to current design plans. The proposed project site is approximately at a distance of 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) from Jeju International Airport and 7 kilometres from the port Jeju International Cruise Terminal.
Lotte Tour Development also pointed out that the project will be just 600 metres away from a major shopping zone that was visited by over 4 million Chinese tourists last year alone. Construction began on the site in May 2016 and is expected to be completed by September 2019.
