A South Korean firm said it would start building the tallest structure in Vietnam, a 70-story tower near Hanoi, this month.

Keangnam Enterprises said the building would be completed by 2010.

The South Korean builder said it had received approval from the Vietnamese government for the US$1.05 billion the Hanoi Landmark Tower project.

The 70-story tower would be accompanied by two 47-story apartment buildings the burgeoning town of Pham Hung, about 22 kilometers from Hanoi, said the firm.

The complex will also house a five-star hotel, a furnished residence for foreigners, offices, apartments, a convention center and medical facilities.

The main tower will stand 336 meters tall, about 50 meters shorter than the Empire States Building in New York. By 2007 records it would be the 17th tallest building in the world.

For the new project, an investment consortium led by Woori Bank would inject $500 million while Keangnam will finance the rest, the firm said.

Currently, the Saigon Trade Center is the tallest building in the country at only 33 floors (145 meters) high.

But along with the Keangnam tower, several more construction projects over 60 stories have either been approved or are under construction in the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh areas, reflecting the country's prospering economy.

“Prospects [of the Vietnamese market] are very bright as more and more multinational firms are making inroads into Hanoi, pushing up the demand for hotels, offices and high-end apartments,” said Keangnam CEO Kang Chang-mo.

Keangnam Enterprise said it will start building a 70-story tower in Hanoi this month, which will be the tallest structure in Vietnam, to be completed by 2010.

The South Korean builder said Thursday that it has received approval from the Vietnamese government for the $1.05 billion project named the Hanoi Landmark Tower. The compound of one 70-story building and two 47-story apartments will be erected in the burgeoning town of Pham Hung about 22 kilometers from Hanoi, it said.

The construction of the Hanoi Landmark Tower will epitomize South Korean firms' growing interest in the Vietnamese market. The Southeast Asian nation was the third largest destination for Korea's overseas investment in the first six months of the year after China and the United States.

``Its prospects are very bright as more and more multinational firms are making inroads into Hanoi, pushing up the demand for hotels, offices and high-end apartments,'' said Kang Chang-mo, CEO of Keangnam. ``The Hanoi Landmark Tower will become a symbolic structure that shows South Korea's capability in building skyscrapers.''

The Landmark Tower compound will consist of three buildings that will house a five-star hotel, a furnished residence for foreigners, offices, apartments, a convention center and medical facilities.

The main tower will stand 336 meters tall, about 50 meters shorter than the Empire States Building in New York. By 2007 records it is equivalent to the 17th tallest building in the world.

For the new project, an investment consortium led by Woori Bank will inject $500 million while Keangnam will finance the rest, the firm said.

Vietnamese cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) have been known for their low-lying French colonial-era buildings with Vietnamese characteristics. Currently, the Saigon Trade Center is the tallest building in the country at only 33 floors (145 meters) high. But along with the Keangnam tower, several more construction projects over 60 stories have either been approved or are under construction in the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh areas, reflecting the country's prospering economy.

It is not the first time for a Korean-made building to dominate the Hanoi skyline. Daewoo Group opened the 18-story Hanoi Daewoo Hotel in 1996 when there was no building taller than 10 stories in the city.

The world's tallest building is the Burj Dubai in the United Arab Emirates at over 520 meters and growing. South Korea's Samsung Corp. is the leading builder of the project. It is planned to reach 800 meters high by 2008.

Wow! 336 meters tall for only 70 floors! This is great, I want to see the design. Anybody here in Hanoi please update this project! It will be finished fast, because the project is one of many Big Projects for Hanoi 1000 years!

I think the X2 site is being developed by Japan's Riviera Group

Thanks laicalacai. Its good to know that the buildings are within those new urban areas. I was a bit afraid they're gonna build it in the middle of nowhere and the foreigners will not be able to see it and admire it.

[chinatown]

don't worry,that area will become more busting in the future.

[kalbongdad]

wow that is one good looking bldg.....hopefully...it will change vietnam's skyline...

Hanoi Landmark Tower đã nhận được giấy phép đầu tư của Chính phủ Việt Nam hôm 9/8. Dự kiến, công trình sẽ khởi công ngày 25/8 tới đây, rao bán vào tháng 11 và dự kiến sẽ khánh thành vào năm 2010 để kỷ niệm 1.000 năm Thăng Long Hà Nội.

cool... playstation2 buildings

This tower takes 3 years to build, so long though it's so excited. I cant wait for it to finish and bring in use. The design looks very Korean too, this will be built in My Dinh uban erea while lots of building are rising up over there. This tower will surely break into the center of that erea, stand out the most among the whole erea, add another beauty to the erea. I hope more projects like this will be built soon in My Dinh.

Nghe nói LandMark xin phép được xây 88 tầng, tuy nhiên TP Hà Nội chỉ cho xây 60 tầng vì sợ ảnh hưởng đến Trung tâm Hội nghị Quốc gia, sau khi trình xin ý kiến Chính phủ, Bộ XD cố vấn cho xây 70 tầng đấy. (Nguồn từ Hà Nội TV)

Tôi ko hiểu tại sao xây một cao ốc 88 tầng thì ảnh hưởng gì đến trung tâm hội nghị quốc gia khi mà nó nằm ở một khoảng cách khá xa trung tâm hội nghị này ?
Đáng tiếc thật, nếu dự án 88 tầng được chấp thuận thì khéo Việt Nam đã có tòa nhà nằm trong top 10 toàn nhà cao nhất TG rồi..lol
