Construction Starts on Vietnam?s Tallest Building

Construction has begun on the Vincom Landmark 81 – a supertall 460m skyscraper in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

If completed now the 81-storey development would be in the world’s top ten tallest buildings. UK companies are at the forefront of the development with Atkins the lead architects, Arup the structural engineers and CBRE providing property services.

The towering development located along the Saigon River consists of luxury apartments, serviced offices, a marina and a 241,000 square metre shopping centre. It also features innovative roof gardens on its towers.

With a new law allowing foreign ownership of property in Vietnam, international investors are expected to show interest.

Construction is expected to be completed in 2017.
