The tower is built atop a functional waste incineration plant that serves the Guri municipality.
The structure reaches a height of 100 meters, with the observation deck located at the 80-meter level.
The building was designed to demonstrate that waste treatment facilities can coexist with community leisure spaces.
On clear days, visibility from the observation deck extends as far as Lotte World Tower and central Seoul.
The base of the tower is part of a complex that includes soccer fields and a dedicated ecological park.
Guri Tower is a 100-meter-tall incinerator chimney repurposed into an observation deck and cultural space located in Guri-si, Gyeonggi-do. The structure provides a panoramic 360-degree view of the Han River, Achasan Mountain, and the Seoul metropolitan skyline. It features an indoor observation gallery that functions as a quiet space for viewing the surrounding landscape. The base of the tower is integrated into a larger environmental park facility that includes sports fields and public green spaces. The tower stands as a notable example of sustainable urban planning by converting industrial infrastructure into a public recreational landmark.
