We've the Zenith ( Korean transcription 위브 더 제니스 Wi-beu deo Jeniseu ) is a building complex in Busan , South Korea , consisting of three skyscrapers of different heights. Work began in 2007 and was completed in November 2011, and all three structures had already reached their final height in April 2011. Tower A , the tallest building, measures 300 meters, making it the tallest building in Busan and the third tallest in the country after the 555 meter high Lotte World Tower in Seoul and the 305 meter high Northeast Asia Trade Tower in Incheon . Tower B and C are 292 and 265 meters high, respectively. Despite the different heights, all three tower structures are clearly similar, they have a crooked, rounded roof that arches on two sides from the outside inwards.

After the opening, all three high-rise buildings were occupied with apartments. The DeStefano + Partners architectural office developed the plans for the complex.
