To begin a new thread, I introduce a big complex that will be built in 2006.
This project had been approved by the city goverment.
I think the design is boring. But it's just the first draft.
And besides, the pics're not in good condition. I had scanned them from the "Kien Truc" magazines. Sorry about that. Hope you will enjoy them.
And .................. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Sorry to say: nooooooooooooooooooooooo :(

i logged out, but I just remember this so I come back to say something smart

LS, Jaro and Hoanghauhoi or anyone who takes picture in Saigon.

the best time for taking pictures of the city is the first day of Tet, around the end of this month........that is the only day when SG is quiet , no traffic or people on the streets.......so if you have time......make the most of that day and plan out your route.....I think you can get a lot of good snapshots because nothing is in the way you know.

but be careful there won't be police monitor the streets so watch out for your cameras and belonging if you are to take pictures on that day

But the first day of Tet is the day I have to be at home, because of "Li xi" money. If I don't be at home, I won't have enough money to go anywhere. :(

they should concentrate on Saigonsouth more,coz those stupid compensate things will be much easier in there.Almost all if not all the proposal projects in SGS has become reality.
And i think Thu Thiem must wait at least 2-3 years before anything can rise there.

sorry have to borrow this thread to post this....I kind of hate waitting for other pictures to download in other threads.

Increase and clear your browser cache, previously downloaded images should appear instantaneously the next time around.

Great photo of 1972 Saigon! Where did you find it? Wonderful to look at. And really shows that almost everything new in downtown Saigon dates from after 1990.

Won't be around for Tet, alas.

I heard from HTV's site that they're planning to construct a project of a 250m heigh atenna tower @ No. 9 NTMK, dist. 1 ( the headquarter studio) !! They currently are inviting major contractors to bid on the project!! it'd be neat !! :)

can some1 update about the construction status in saigon?

The 1972 photo is great, so bad some of the buildings from that time didn't get much maintenance as they needed. And degradation happened, the blocks gone black and ugly.

can some1 update about the construction status in saigon?

Not much is happening. :) I think the crucial projects have all had construction photos recently in these threads. There is a crane already at the Saigon Pearl, but they're not above ground yet. I have a good spot for photos of that complex, but the sky is never clear these days... I went to the Saigon Pearl sales center the other day. No photos allowed, of course. It looks like the twin buildings are really touching back to back, Hong Kong style. So instead of eight apartment towers we only get four...

Up to floor 8.

another skinny building rising ....I was hoping they build something big for the entire block

oh the Germandept you know how many storeys that building will be?

Gemadept is about 27 storeys. LS do you have any update for this project? TX.

The Gemadept site is vacant right now.

Look at my pics of district 4, almost everything there will probably get demolished for tall buildings... wouldn't get my hopes up for Indochina though, their Indochina Park Tower seems to be suspended... they might be having cash flow problems now.

Times Square is definitely on hold now. Nothing is happening there.

BUT in a couple of months Saigon will add three buildings over 12 stories: two hotels or apartment towers visible in one of my pics from Me Linh Point Plaza, and an office tower of 12F between the Saigon Trade Center and the Electric Company tower site. Pics later.

Here is a Lancaster update:

So works at the Lancaster site continue... Great news. I am surprised that they have problem with the Indochina Park Tower because of the high occupancy rate of office bldg in Saigon. Is this bldg an officetel or just luxury apartment? TX for the updates.

Bitexco completes deluxe apartments, starts handovers

By QUOC HUNG



Property developer Bitexco has com*pleted its first deluxe apart*ment building in the larger Manor project in downtown HCMC and has since early this month handed over apart*ments to buyers.



Speaking to reporters in HCMC yesterday, Le Phuong My Linh, sales director of the company, said the apartment handovers were taking place as scheduled, with five to six units getting owners a day.



Of the 426 apartments Bitexco built on Nguyen Huu Canh Street in District 1 in the first phase, more than 80% have found buyers with prices ranging from US$1,500 to US$1,600 per square meter.



The company is also build*ing another Manor residen*tial quarter worth US$125 million in Hanoi.

Located in the My Dinh-Me Tri area, it comprises two 27-story, two 11-story and two seven-story buildings with 500 apartments. Handing over these apartments is set for next March.



The company will develop the second phase of the Manor project in HCMC some time this year.

Bitexco is displaying model houses and information on a 30-story apartment block it will build on Nguyen Huu Canh Street.



Linh said each floor would have 20 units that could be used as offices or housing and that the company would begin work on the building early next year and construction was scheduled to take two years.



Bitexco is developing the country's tallest skyscraper in HCMC's commercial district, which will cost US$ 100million.

ey I just read that the Saigon Beer plant just opened a new big establishment in CU CHi and will leave the current location in the city for new development....hopefully this area will be some kind of tall building..
where is SG beer plant located anyway? I passed by the place when I'm in VN but not sure which street....it seemed big

and hopefully they will relocate that big ass tobacco and surgar factory in district 4 along the canal to build more buildings
I'm sure Hoang Dieu project will have more than 1 building, and those building will be on the ground of the current tobaco factory

smoking is good for your health, but I prefer buildings

Saigon Beer current plant is on district 5. It's a very big one. And when it has been removed, there'll be a lot of zone to build buildings.
And Saigon Beer company also had a zone in Me Linh square, district 1, on the other side of Bonday Vietcombank Tower. Maybe in this zone, Saigon Plaza 65 storeys will be built.

I know a Vinataba factory right in 5th district, everytime i pass by i feel like sitting inside a har-smoker's mouth, 90% of the population in that area got nose cancer I suppose.

Saigon Beer has a big , noisy plant on Nguyen Kim street, next to a beautiful but abandoned French villa, it's a very large villa, dunno why it'd been abandoned....

Actually I think the invesment of the project "Sai gon Plaza" is Sajuco "Saigon jute joint stock company". The head office is at "11 Cong Truong Me Linh, Ben Nghe ward, district 1, HCMC." http://www.daysaigon.com.vn/htmls/office_en.html- this is the website. :) :) :)

Saigon Manor (Phase 1) is no doubt the largest building in VN at the present.

Lack of parkings, do you think?

agree. This problem can only get better in at least 2 years more.

And i think the Manor is taller than the Saigon Center,though according to some sources (like emporis),the Manor is shorter than STC (103m - 106m).It looks like >110m to me.

The Saigon Trade Center is much higher than this Manor. It's 145 metres height (not including the antenna), and this Manor is just about 105 metres.

Oops,my mistake,sorry.I mean the Saigon Center on Leloi street. :)

The Saigon Trade Center is much higher than this Manor. It's 145 metres height (not including the antenna), and this Manor is just about 105 metres.

So the order would be for those 100 m+ (completed and uc)

1> Saigon Trade Center - 145 meters
2> Saigon Pearl (uc) - 135 meters
3> Thuan Kieu Plaza - 110 meters
4> Saigon Center - 106 meters
5> The Manor - 105 meters

Does anybody know how tall are the Sheraton towers?

I don't know the height of Sheraton towers, may be around 105 meters.
But I know Sheraton towers cost is about 128 mil US$. Unbelievable!

I think this building is on the same place with Saigon Plaza.
So wonder which one will be chosen to build?
Hope that Saigon Plaza.

Agree, that one above is crap for that place, i mean a very bad feng-shui.

the Financial Tower is still a big hole .
Larkhall Savico seems very quiet.
Indochina Tower seems halted
the building (the Sail) right next to the Avalon has started.

no

isn't it time that all public buildings in Vietnam start to comply to handicap accessibility rules? Or is that day still so far away?

I think this building is on the same place with Saigon Plaza.

Hope that Saigon Plaza.

I am studying in U.S right now guys. I asked my father already. He told me that the goverment doesn't let his company to do it. Because the area is too small for the height of 300 meters.But I did show him about the new technology that I found:"http://www.vnexpress.net/Vietnam/Khoa-hoc/2006/01/3B9E624D/". Maybe that will help him. I am not sure about the height of Saigon Plaza. But I heard that building will be taller than the vietcombank tower right next to.. :) :) . In next few years, we will focus on office buildings. And there will be more taller buildings<- I think :). And the project won't be start untill the end of 2007. Maybe I can keep asking him to build it higher..

I get the information about the height of Larkhall Savico from Skyscraperpages.com.
About the height of Sheraton Towers, I guess, cause I think it has the same height with Saigon Center.
The cost of Sheraton Towers, I get from the recently Saigon Times Weekly and another time which I search through the Internet.

Maybe that will help him. I am not sure about the height of Saigon Plaza. But I heard that building will be taller than the vietcombank tower right next to.. :) :) . In next few years, we will focus on office buildings. And there will be more taller buildings<- I think :). And the project won't be start untill the end of 2007. Maybe I can keep asking him to build it higher..

Of course Saigon Plaza with 65 storeys will be higher than Vietcombank Tower. :D. Except it will be descreased the height :(.
But anyway, thanks for your information, and your support to your father. Knowing it hard. Thanks very much.

Sorry, I had taken pictures in the afternoon, so the pics aren't good. And that time I didn't have much time, so must took pics in hurry. Sorry for these bad shots.

I want to tell you guys a sad news :( The Sai Gon Plaza got cut off to 38 to 40 storeys"based on what my father told me". But with my support about the new techonology information, I think he will keep asking to build it with 50-65 storeys. And the height I heard that will meybe the same with Financial Tower:(. But the project won't start untill the end of 2007. I think we have a long time to do with that project :) :) :) .

so let's hope the financial tower wont be cut down in size also.
Besides,they restrict the height limit for the Thu Thiem area (max 40 storeys),while the Saigonsouth don't==> so in the future better concentrate building supertalls in Saigonsouth.

The Financial Tower may be the first tower in Vietnam that reaches 300 meters.

LS, thanks for the updates. Those bldgs in Phu My Hung sure grow really fast.

Not sure about the location, but the picture is from this PDF below from ARUP

We have been commissioned by the Saigon M&C Real Estate Company in December 2004 to
design a 30-storey office tower and a 39-storey apartment block sitting on a 6- storey high retail
podium.
The scope of service for Arup includes external civil works, full multi-disciplinary design and
preparation of technical specifications and cost estimates. We will also provide comments on the
architectural design by the local architect. Conceptual design will be carried out in Hong Kong with
detailed design in Vietnam.

This will be the best looking bldg in Saigon when completed. Do you see any construction activities at the site? Yet, even during the Tet?

Thanks for the info.

no

Has anyone noticed that the three colleges (NTMK, Marie Curie and Le Quy Don) would form a perfect square right in the middle of Saigon, the fourth one, as it should has been built, is located right on my grandparents' old house site in Truong Dinh street (which was also old French villa, what a shame, the new owner bulldozed it), interesting rite?

ey Tony I'm your friend right? :)
tell your papa to build a 360 degree spinning rooftop garden on that saigon plaza building, so you and your friends could come get drunk, watch the moon and write poetry

seriously anything is fine as long as it's not another concrete block......and it doesn't have to be 60 storeys.....30-40 and if you added a nice spire on top like the Chrysler building in Newyork or petronas in kualalumpur then the building is succesful no matter what height.

all the big buildings and ugly modern tubehouses are eatting away the French villas in district 3 huh?
always wanted to ask jaro to take panoramic pictures of those lequidon, marie curie schools to see the layouts but keep forgeting......this is the first time I see Leduidon school from above
I don't know, man. I heard the cost of that building over 100 million dollards. That is a lot. And did you see the picture of Saigon Plaza. We can't build a 360 degree spinning rooftop garden. But the height of the building, we still ask to build the highest one in VN with 65 storeys, and tall 300 meter. And if we have permission to build it. I will take you guys to my building sometimes....

or just combine a 270m building + a 50m spire = the fourth (OR 3rd,depend on ur greed with the spire hehe) tallest in SEA! :)

What are the 3 tallest now? Petronas, Baiyoke Bangkok and Menara Kuala Lumpur(?)

Any 285m building will be taller than all the Singaporrean towers now.

Sorry Bros we are in Saigon section, where u can talk about saigon skyscraper! We don't care about Malasya Thai or whatever u can create a new forum if u want. I just ask u respect the topic please.

You're absolutely right, but I've just checked Skyscraperpage.com and the first 3 tallest buildings in SEA are or will be in Malaysia, plus the Baiyoke II.

1.Petronas Towers
2.A proposed building in KL
3.Menara Telekom.
4.Bangkok's Baiyoke
5.a proposed bdg in Jakarta

But if Bitexco gets 300+ it could be the fourth tallest building in SEA! :)

Vo Thi Thang (2, L), head of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, Truong My Lan (3, L), chairwomen of Van Thinh Phat Co. and Le Thanh Hai (3,R), chairman of the HCMC People's Committee, at the ceremony to receive the five-star certificate of windsor Plaza Hotel.

By BINH THANG

(SGT-HCMC) The Windsor Plaza in HCMC has been recognized by the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism as a five-star hotel, bringing the total in the city to 10.

The other five-star hotels in the city are Caravelle, Equatorial, Legend Saigon, New World Saigon, Omni Saigon, Park Hyatt Saigon, Renaissance Riverside Saigon, Sheraton Saigon and Sofitel Plaza Saigon.

The 26-story Windsor Plaza, which has been developed by local firm Van Thinh Phat Co. at a total cost of VND1.3 trillion (US$82 million), has an entertainment complex, a conference center and a shopping center.

The hotel, which has 405 rooms of international standard, has broken a number of records in the local hotel industry since it opened in November 2004.

It has the largest ballroom covering 1,500 square meters, the largest men's massage and health club and the largest discotheque. The Windsor Plaza is the first hotel in Vietnam to be built atop a shopping mall and a hotel of an entire entertainment complex in HCMC.

The complex includes two discotheques, a nightclub, a video game center, and a men's massage and spa.

The Windsor Plaza now boasts average room occupancy of some 70%.

Is Van Thinh Phat's owner ethnic Kinh?

Yep, Windsor Plaza and An Dong Plaza are the same.

Nah I'm just wondering coz I thought someone told me that An Dong Plaza is owned by an ethnic Hoa company. The chairwomen, Truong My Lan seems to be ethnic Kinh.

The private sector is always more efficient and reliable.

The majority of the oil deposits are in the south, the facilities are in the south, the employees and executives are in the south. Why are they having the national headquarter in the north so that when there are meetings executives and employees has to fly all the way to Hanoi and back? What a big waste of money.

This government is so full of $hit. Why must every major state corporation has to have its headquarter in Hanoi?

Funny that the journalist made the comment: "it took us 9 years to defeat the French but more than 10 years and we still haven't finished a building".

If this building replace for that "black hole", I think it's ok.
Cause Vietnamese goverment had done nothing and the black hole's still there time over time. I think there's no reason to build a big building like if its design is ok. It's much better than done nothing.

Trước thông tin có một tờ trình UBND TPHCM về việc đầu tư xây dựng một tòa nhà 54 tầng tại Công viên 23-9 khiến nhiều người lo ngại sẽ ảnh hưởng đến cảnh quan môi trường, chúng tôi đã có cuộc trao đổi với ông Nguyễn Trọng Hòa, Giám đốc Sở Quy hoạch-Kiến trúc TPHCM để tìm hiểu vấn đề này.

- PV: Thưa ông, có hay không dự án cao ốc 54 tầng tại Công viên 23-9?

- Ông Nguyễn Trọng Hòa: Đúng là có một chủ đầu tư dự kiến xin xây dựng một cao ốc 54 tầng tại khu vực 1,2 ha nằm ở khu đất trong khuôn viên Công viên 23-9. Sở Quy hoạch-Kiến trúc TPHCM đã có tờ trình báo cáo ý tưởng này với UBND TPHCM và đang được UBNDTP xem xét. Tuy nhiên, cũng xin lưu ý rằng, hiện công trình này là một phương án xin đầu tư đang được xem xét. Nếu được phép đầu tư thì cao ốc 54 tầng này sẽ là một tòa nhà đa chức năng gồm có: thương mại-dịch vụ, văn phòng và một tỷ lệ nhất định căn hộ cao cấp, chiếm khoảng 1,2 ha trong tổng diện tích 17,3 ha của Công viên 23-9.

http://www.sggp.org.vn/thoisu/nam2006/thang2/96107/images/images111244_h9b.jpg
Một phần của khu công viên 23-9 này sẽ mọc lên cao ốc 54 tầng? Ảnh: Đ.V.D.

- Trong tờ trình đó, quan điểm của Sở Quy hoạch-Kiến trúc là như thế nào?

- Theo đề xuất của nhà đầu tư, tòa cao ốc 54 tầng sẽ được xây dựng tại khu vực cuối Công viên 23-9, gần chợ Nguyễn Thái Bình (nơi trước đây thành phố đã cho phép một liên doanh khác xây dựng một khu trung tâm thương mại cao khoảng 20-25 tầng).

Tòa cao ốc này dự kiến xin xây dựng với mật độ xây dựng khối đế khoảng 60%, khối tháp khoảng 40% của khu đất 1,2 ha, hình thành một điểm nhấn ở cuối Công viên 23-9 với số vốn đầu tư cao gấp nhiều lần so với phương án đầu tư trước đây. Không gian Công viên 23-9 sẽ thoáng hơn phương án trước đây với thảm công viên, mặt nước, tượng đài trải dài từ quảng trường Quách Thị Trang ở trên mặt đất và nhiều tầng hầm được xây dựng dưới mặt đất làm nhà để xe cũng như khu dịch vụ phức hợp.

Xung quanh cao ốc sẽ được bố trí các mảng xanh, bồn hoa, vòi phun nước, các tuyến đường đi bộ… Hiện nay trên thế giới, các nhà đầu tư đều lựa chọn các mô hình đầu tư các tòa nhà cao ốc đa chức năng tại các khu vực trung tâm của các đô thị lớn, do đó trong xu thế phát triển và hội nhập của TPHCM, việc nghiên cứu cho phép đầu tư một tòa cao ốc đa chức năng tại đây, theo chúng tôi cần được xem xét nghiêm túc trên mọi góc độ.

- Đặt một tòa nhà cao tầng trong công viên, lại ngay trung tâm quận 1 có hợp lý không, thưa ông?

- Hiện nay, có ý kiến cho rằng ở trung tâm TP chỉ nên có những cao ốc cao khoảng 30 tầng, vì thế tòa nhà 54 tầng là quá cao. Tuy nhiên, đặt trong bối cảnh phát triển đô thị, TPHCM là một TP có sự phát triển kinh tế năng động và đang rất cần vốn đầu tư cho phát triển đô thị, bên cạnh các khu vực mới phát triển, khu trung tâm TPHCM sẽ phải vươn đến những tầm cao mới với những điểm nhấn của thế kỷ 21.

Trong những năm sắp tới, với bài toán sẽ được giải về thiết kế đô thị, TPHCM sẽ xuất hiện thêm các tòa nhà đa chức năng để phù hợp với cơ cấu kinh tế đang chuyển dần sang thương mại-dịch vụ và từng bước giảm dần dân số tại khu vực trung tâm, thay các khu nhà ở chiếm nhiều đất đai bằng các loại hình nhà cao tầng dành đất cho cây xanh và giao thông. Tiến độ quy hoạch Công viên 23-9 bị bỏ hoang trong nhiều năm qua do thiếu vốn đầu tư. Do đó, có một nhà đầu tư muốn đầu tư xây dựng tòa cao ốc tại Công viên 23-9 là vấn đề đáng cân nhắc.

Hơn nữa, nhà đầu tư này đã sẵn sàng đầu tư các công trình khác: xây dựng đường cao tốc Tân Sơn Nhất-Bình Lợi nối với đường vành đai để kịp phát huy hiệu quả khi sân bay Tân Sơn Nhất xây dựng xong và một khu đô thị mới khoảng 360 ha ở Nhà Bè với quy mô như khu đô thị Phú Mỹ Hưng…

- UBND TPHCM đã có ý kiến gì về vấn đề trên?

- Trước khi trình UBNDTP về dự án xin đầu tư nêu trên, Sở QH-KT TP đã cân nhắc kỹ. Chúng tôi đã tham khảo ý kiến và được sự nhất trí của Hội đồng Quy hoạch-Kiến trúc TPHCM. Theo chúng tôi, chúng ta hãy đặt công trình này vào bài toán kinh tế-xã hội trong bối cảnh phát triển đô thị hiện nay để cân nhắc và có tầm nhìn bao quát hơn về dự án này.

- Xin cảm ơn ông.

This building's investor is LG corporation. They'll also intent to build a highway to connect Tan Son Nhat airport and Binh Loi brigde (>300 US$mil), and a 360 hectare urban zone in South Saigon.
And this 54 story building is located at the end of 23/9 park, so maybe when be finished, it'll be an impression there.
So why don't support it? :(

Plus it's not like the surrounding of that place is pretty anyway.. All you see is tubehouse surrounding it -_-

I don't think the 54-storey building should be built there. I'd much prefer a spacious park for District 1's residents and to preserve the preeminence of Ben Thanh market.

Bitexco to develop two commercial complexes in city

By SONG NGUYEN


The private Binh Minh Trade Import-Ex*port Company, or Bitexco, plans to develop Ma Lang and Ben Thanh areas in the city's mid-town into commercial complexes as it has got nod in principle from the city gov*ernment.


HCMC vice chairman Nguyen Van Dua has agreed with Bitexco management board over the plans to de*velop the two areas into hi-rise office and a partment building areas, an official of the city government told the Daily yesterday.


Bitexco, which is the owner of the luxury apartment project named The Manor and the 60-storey Financial Tower in HCMC and several cost-ex*tensive projects elsewhere, plans to spend an estimated US$460 million on the two projects.


The cost for site clearance and compensation alone will be about US$80 to 99 million.


The Ma Lang area is bor*dered by Nguyen Trai, Cong Quynh, Nguyen Cu Trinh and Tran Dinh Xu streets, while the Ben Thanh area is sur*rounded by Le Thi Hong Gam, Calmette, Pham Ngu Lao, and Pho Due Chinh streets. The two areas, covering a com*bined 10 hectares, are in Dis*trict 1.


More than 1,800 houses and 13 offices in the two areas would be affected by the projects.


In recent meetings with the city's authorities, Bitexco leaders have said that both projects would accommodate international investors, especially those in commercial, fi*nancial, trading and service sectors.


The project owner plans to build a series of hi-rise build*ings, from 40 to 55 stories each. The site clearance is expected to start in the middle of this year for completion by the end of 2007, and construction on Ma Lang project is to be fin*ished in 2010.


Vice chairman Dua has asked the owner to retain three existing schools and two cur*rent temples in the Ma Lang area, the source said.

Vina Imex II Bldg
Starview Office Bldg
CEPTA Building

theyre gonna destroy temples and school?!?!?!?!!?!?!

it doesnt sound gud

Read. They're *not* going to destroy the temples and school.

Those projects above are from Hanoi, not Saigon.

In other news, I read that because of the construction of the East-West highway interchange (two levels) at the HCM highway, the latter will be "closed to transportation" from the East-West highway interchange (beyond the Parkland) to the Saigon river bridge, starting in the middle of the year. Can't imagine how this would happen...

Also, in a few months they will start taking down the bridges between dist. 1 and 4. Will go and take a few last pictures before then.

According to CBREVietnam (see here - download/unzip the PDF file)

http://www.cbrevietnam.com/news.php?news=press

these projects are indeed in Saigon and available in 2006, not Hanoi.

- Capital Place, D.1: (4,800 sqm)
6 Thai Van Lung Street, Dist. 1
http://www.cbrevietnam.com/news/capital.jpg
- Miss Ao Dai Building, D.1: (3,100 sqm office space)
- Rosaco Tower, D.1: (12,000 sqm)
- Manulife Head Quarter Office, D.7: (6,000sqm)
- Vina Imex II building, D.1: (11,900 sqm)
- Starview Office Building, D.1: (3,200 sqm)
- CEPTA Building, Tan Binh District (15,000 sqm)

no

the Hung Vuong plaza seems to be halted.It's been more than 1 year since it started.
Can any1 give me some info on the Times Square?

Sorry, I was wrong. There is also a Capital Place UC in Hanoi, that's my poor excuse. Could anyone find any more info on the web about these new projects? I only know Capital Place, it's almost finished now, 6 Thai Van Lung, I believe.

It seems Times Square changed contractors, there is now some action on the site.

600A Dien Bien Phu, behind the electronics mart, near the Saigon River Bridge, is also UC now (18f, apartments).

According to the CBREVietnam's article above, Hung Vuong Plaza's new timeline is now listed as 2007-2009 along with the other two biggies - Saigon Pearl and Time Square
ey the Hungvuong does it climb to any floor yet?

Recently it was confessed that the Delftse architectural firm Cepezed and the recommendation - and engineer office DHV is asked the new head office of the Vietcombank - also confessed as a bank for Foreign Trade or devise vietnam -.

Design head office Vietcom

The Executive Board of the Vietcombank had asked the foreign embassies in vietnam propose architects for a private design question for the head office in Ho Chi Minhstad. The Dutch embassy slid DHV forward and DHV introduced Cepezed. DHV are no unknown person in vietnam, they have an office in the capital hanoi. Eventually participated approximately ten offices to the design game for the new head office in Ho Chi Minhstad. Cepzed and DHV won the game with a design for twin wheel a toren existing from steel and glass. The toren with 200 meters altitude, the highest bldg. of vietnam will become.
Much water has in the meantime already flowed by the Saigonrivier and a lot of variaties have been signed.

Vietcombank Tower and Bonday Benthanh are just one building. I think the old design is better. :( And higher.

is that the octagonal shape building u r talking about? yeah i like that one better than this one.

Vietcombank Tower and Bonday Benthanh are just one building. I think the old design is better. :( And higher.
If so,i like the old design better...too bad!

probably they want to cut down the costs? as it is more expensive to construct the more complicated geometries of the old design over this simple one..

This is the old design (175 meters +). Its cost was estimated around 50-60 millions at the time.

http://www.qhkt.hochiminhcity.gov.vn/thongtin/kientrucdep/NHNgoaithuong.jpg

The previous cost is 55 mil US$, so the same.
By the way, last night, when I passed by this location, I see they had abandoned 3/4 part of the restaurant, so it will be demolished soon, I think.

According to HTV, they plan to start construction by the end of the year.

i remember that there's an ongoing project near these buildings.Any info?

Besides,about that Vietcombank,i really hope they'll keep the old design which is one of the most unique in SEA.VN need more buildings like that.

so let's hope the financial tower wont be cut down in size also.
Besides,they restrict the height limit for the Thu Thiem area (max 40 storeys),while the Saigonsouth don't==> so in the future better concentrate building supertalls in Saigonsouth.

Hi I'm new in this forum.
I thought land is weak in Saigon South, so you don't build very tall buildings here. Or do they have technology to overcome this problem?
What's the highest building currently/uc/being planned in SS, anybody knows?

DHV-Cepezed-VNCC has won a US$2-million deal to provide construction design con*sulting for Vietcombank Tower, a 35-story office building in HCMC's com*mercial district.
The consulting deal for the project is a venture between the Vietnam National Con*struction Consultants (VNCC) and two Dutch part*ners - DHV Building and In*dustry and Cepezed.
The project owner is Vietcombank-Bonday-Ben thanh, a joint venture be*tween Vietnam's Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank) and Ben Thanh Tourist and Hong Kong's Bonday Investments.
The design will be finished before September so that work on the project can start that month. The building is ex*pected to be ready by the end of2008.
Vietcombank-Bonday-Benthanh earlier named Apave Vietnam & South East Asia as management consultancy for the project through a US$1 -million deal.
The Vietcombank Tower covering an area of 3,000 square meters and overlook*ing the Saigon River is sur*rounded by Ton Duc Thang, Hai Ba Trung, Mac Thi Buoi and Phan Van Dat streets.
The investment capital for the project is estimated at US$55 million but may be in*creased to US$77 million to make Vietcombank Tower a modern office building.

Binh Minh Import-Export Co (Bitexco) are building a 60 story office building which will rise 270m, and will have 7 additional underground floors for parking and technical facilities. The company will spend an estimated USD$96 million to construct the 5,200 square meter building. The skyscraper, which will be HCMC' s tallest, at the corner of Ho Tung Mau and Ngo Duc Ke streets will have a steel framework and glass walls. Construction is scheduled to take two and a half years.

Once construction is finished, the Financial Tower will offer around 100,000 sq.m of office space. The municipal chief architect said the city has approved the height of the building and believes it will become "the main symbol of the city in early 21st Century. The project is situated where the offices of many international companies are located. The company said the building will contribute to the development of the city, which has an annual growth rate of 12% and is fast becoming an important location in the Southeast Asian region.

Hi all,
I'm new here, want to say hi first! ^_^
I'm interested in Financial Tower Project in SG invested by Bitexco. I want to know more about this project. Its ground breaking was done but how is its construction now? Whether can it go to the completion or not? Anyway, has Bitexco find the main contractor? Could anyone tell me? :bash:

thank you so much for LOVESAIGON

"Miss Ao Dai" building--cute name :)

http://www.eravietnam.com/duan_details.asp?eventid=22

The Shopping Mall Complex that you had showed the link is the Tax Plaza phase 2, 3 and 4.
About the Larkhall Savico, as the Jaroslaw had said, it had changed the BMC to another contruction contraction. And now it had been built very fast, really.
The Saigon Pearl, it had been construction the tower 1 & 2 (sometimes we call each tower here is twin towers, like the investor said, so we had 4 tower, tower 1, 2, 3 and 4).

thank you so much for LOVESAIGON

Hi, hokhue! Thanks for thank you me. But excuse me, can I ask you a question? You thank me for what :) .

http://www.saigonpearl.com.vn

There are a total of eight residential towers, according to the investor, but since they are co-joined twins, I would count them as actually only four buildings. The first two have been UC for about six months, the next one may be UC already as well.

A lot of action in Phu My Hung. Five blocks of Skygarden are UC now, which will build out that project. Also, Grand View (1 x 12, 2 x 16) is also well under construction now.

Ground has been cleared and construction seems imminent on the second Hoang Dieu block in Dist. 4. 16 floors, BANG mentioned this.

Farther east on Hoang Dieu, a new project under construction, in front of Cho Xom Chieu. There were some colonial buildings there, but they got demolished a year ago, I didn't get any shots of them.

It seems that the taller tower is not UC yet, but I need to look again. The lowrise on the left in the first render, right in the second, seems to be the market, upgraded.

Thanks LS. Have anyone got any info regarding to a new design of Time Square Project? Hope it should better previous one, waiting to see how it look like?

Times Square info:
The project will cost an estimated US$95 million to build. Design of the building made by a group of Hong Kong's most experienced architects has recently been completed. The Larkhall-Savico building, slated for completion by 2007, will also provide 118 high-end apartments and auxiliary facilities including shopping malls, hotels, retail, and restaurant outlets. (VIR)

The very high occupancy rate in the office rental market will drive these projects to get completed on time if not early :). Thanks LS.

TP.HCM: 10 tỉ USD cho khu đô thị mới Thủ Thiêm
06:49' 04/03/2006 (GMT+7)
Để đầu tư xây dựng khu đô thị mới Thủ Thiêm, TP.HCM sẽ huy động nguồn vốn đầu tư 10 tỉ USD, giải tỏa 10.000 hộ dân, quy hoạch 657 ha đất tại 5 phường thuộc Q.2 - TP.HCM. Đó là những nội dung chính do Ban quản lý khu đô thị mới Thủ Thiêm (KĐTMTT) thông tin trong cuộc họp báo chiều 3/3/2006.

Một khu đô thị quốc tế hiện đại

Thông tin tại cuộc họp báo, ông Vũ Hùng Việt - Trưởng ban quản lý KĐTMTT cho biết bản quy hoạch chi tiết 1/2000 KĐTMTT do Công ty Sasaki Associates (Mỹ) kết hợp với Viện Quy hoạch xây dựng TP.HCM lập đã được phê duyệt vào tháng 12/2005. Đồ án QH này "phủ" lên toàn bộ phần đất tự nhiên của các phường An Khánh, Thủ Thiêm, An Lợi Đông và một phần phường Bình An, Bình Khánh (Q.2) với tổng diện tích khu đất là 657 ha. Ngoài ra, còn có 80 ha đất bên ngoài khu đô thị cũng được tiến hành chỉnh trang để nối kết thành khu vực lân cận.

http://vietnamnet.vn/dataimages/200603/original/images919277_thuthiem.jpg
Đồ án thiết kế Khu đô thị mới Thủ Thiêm.


Theo đồ án, KĐTMTT được chia thành 5 khu vực: khu lõi trung tâm chính, khu đa chức năng đại lộ Đông-Tây, khu dân cư phía bắc, khu dân cư phía đông và khu lâm viên sinh thái phía nam. Sẽ có nhiều công trình hiện đại được xây dựng tại các khu vực này như trung tâm hội nghị triển lãm quốc tế, trung tâm tài chính, thương mại, trung tâm thể thao giải trí, tòa tháp cao trên 300m với chức năng là tháp truyền hình và khách sạn, văn phòng, dịch vụ thương mại. Một tổ hợp các công trình gồm có quảng trường trung tâm, công viên vòng cung, hồ nước trung tâm... cũng đã được quy hoạch để có thể đón khách vãng lai với khoảng 1 triệu lượt người/ngày. Do đây là một đô thị trung tâm nên dân số định cư tại KĐTMTT chỉ khoảng từ 110 - 120 ngàn người, số lượng người lao động tại KĐTMTT cũng chỉ khoảng 350 ngàn người/ngày.

Ông Vũ Hùng Việt cũng cho biết KĐTMTT sẽ trở thành một khu đô thị có tính đặc thù của vùng sông nước Nam Bộ với một thảm thực vật phong phú nối liền với bờ của bán đảo Thủ Thiêm. Đồ án quy hoạch cho thấy KĐTMTT được kết nối với các quận nội thành hiện hữu bởi 5 chiếc cầu và 1 đường hầm gồm: cầu nối với Q.Bình Thạnh (cầu Thủ Thiêm) đã khởi công xây dựng, cầu nối với Q.1 (cầu Ba Son), cầu đi bộ nối với Q.1, cầu nối với Q.4, cầu nối với Q.7 và đường hầm Thủ Thiêm thuộc dự án đại lộ Đông - Tây. Trong cơ cấu sử dụng đất chỉ có 165 ha dành cho nhà ở và thương mại dịch vụ. Toàn bộ diện tích đất còn lại sẽ dành cho các công trình công cộng.

Dân tái định cư ở đâu?

Ban quản lý KĐTMTT cho biết, hiện nay các nhóm nghiên cứu đang xúc tiến các đề tài dành cho việc đầu tư xây dựng KĐTMTT như Viện Nghiên cứu thủy lợi phía Nam nghiên cứu về tình hình thủy văn có ảnh hưởng như thế nào đến vùng bán ngập Thủ Thiêm; Trường đại học Nông Lâm nghiên cứu các loại thực vật sẽ đưa vào trồng tại KĐTMTT. Ngoài ra, cũng có các nhóm nghiên cứu về cốt san nền và các vấn đề về môi trường, dòng chảy của sông Sài Gòn... Tất cả các nghiên cứu này sẽ được hoàn tất trong năm 2006.

Ông Lê Nho Văn - Phó ban quản lý KĐTMTT cho biết khoảng hơn 10.000 hộ dân sẽ bị giải tỏa tại dự án. Vì thế, đồ án cũng đã dành 15,5 ha để xây dựng nhà để tái định cư (TĐC) tại chỗ cho các hộ dân. Số lượng căn hộ ở các dự án TĐC tại Q.2 được phân bổ như sau: khu dân cư (KDC) An Phú - An Khánh: 711 căn hộ; KDC An Phú: 531 căn hộ; KDC Thạnh Mỹ Lợi: 1.002 căn hộ; KDC Nam Rạch Chiếc: 5.481 căn hộ; KDC Bình Khánh: 3.000 căn hộ.

Ngoài ra, theo ông Văn, do có thể các dự án TĐC không xây dựng kịp với tiến độ giải tỏa trong nay mai nên UBND TP đã cho phép Ban quản lý KĐTMTT có thể mua lại nhà của các dự án liền kề với KĐTMTT. "Việc mua nhà TĐC sẽ trên cơ sở thương lượng với mức giá do Sở Tài chính định giá và UBND TP phê duyệt. Đảm bảo nhà TĐC là nhà thương phẩm và sẽ cho người dân tùy ý chọn lựa căn hộ chứ hoàn toàn không áp đặt", ông Văn khẳng định.

Liên quan đến lĩnh vực đầu tư xây dựng tại KĐTMTT, ông Vũ Hùng Việt cho biết UBND TP đã tổ chức một cuộc đấu thầu quốc tế về công tác tư vấn cho kế hoạch đầu tư. Các lĩnh vực tư vấn bao gồm: chính sách đền bù, cơ chế tài chính, kiến trúc xây dựng và tổ chức bộ máy điều hành hoạt động. Trong tháng 6.2006, nhà tư vấn sẽ trình bày toàn bộ kết quả khảo sát tư vấn để UBND TP xét duyệt, sau đó sẽ bắt tay vào công tác đền bù giải tỏa. Ban quản lý KĐTMTT cũng cho biết, vào ngày 15/3/2006, UBND Q.2 và Sở Quy hoạch - Kiến trúc sẽ tổ chức công bố quy hoạch chi tiết 1/2000 KĐTMTT cho người dân trong khu vực giải tỏa biết đồng thời trên địa bàn các phường nằm trong phạm vi quy hoạch KĐTMTT sẽ dựng các pa-nô quy hoạch chi tiết để chính quyền địa phương và người dân nắm rõ các thông số quy hoạch.

Ông Vũ Hùng Việt cũng lạc quan cho rằng nếu có cơ chế huy động tài chính tốt, chính sách đầu tư hấp dẫn thì có thể sau 10 - 12 năm, KĐTMTT sẽ được xây dựng hoàn chỉnh chứ không kéo dài đến năm 2025 như kế hoạch đã đề ra. Theo đó, trong 5 năm từ 2006 - 2010 sẽ hoàn thành từ 30 - 50% khối lượng xây dựng và chủ yếu là hoàn thành hạ tầng kỹ thuật cơ bản cho toàn KĐTMTT.
