A new tower for HoChiMinh City

Financial Tower located in downtown Ho Chi Minh City, near the Saigon River, the programme includes a 68-storey office building with a shopping mall in its base. The outline of the tower, which is surrounded by a water feature, is reminiscent of a lotus flower. The tower has a very contemporary design, while simultaneously echoing traditional structures through its shape and the texture of its façades. A future benchmark for high-rise construction in Vietnam, the project is being taken forward by an international team, intent on creating a flagship building.
