The building is located on the former site of the Sampoong Department Store [ko], which collapsed in 1995. The plot of land had gone up for auction in November 1996, and was purchased by the company Daesang Group [ko]. That company assumed control of the land in August 1999. Acrovista's construction was handled by company DL E&C.[2]

As of 2025, former South Korean first lady Kim Keon-hee, wife of president Yoon Suk Yeol, owns a 164 m2 (1,770 sq ft) apartment in the building.[2] The apartment drew public attention after Yoon's 2024 impeachment was confirmed in 2025, and Yoon was required to move out of his presidential residence in Hannam-dong. As of April 7, 2025, it is expected that Yoon and Kim will move back into Acrovista.[4] Several interviewed residents of Acrovista expressed dissatisfaction with the first couple's return. Some expressed disappointment with Yoon's 2024 declaration of martial law that caused his impeachment, others worried about disruption to their daily lives, and others worried that Yoon's presence would affect the value of their property.[5] During Yoon's impeachment trials, gatherings near the apartment's entrance were prohibited by police.[6]
