Over the past 30 years, Vietnam has made incredible strides, transforming from one of the poorest countries in the world to a lower-middle-income country. By doing things differently than it had done before and shifting from a centrally planned to a market economy, it’s now considered one of the most dynamic emerging countries in the East Asia region.
Capitalising on the country’s success and mirroring its proclivity for doing things differently, Empire City Vietnam is going against the grain and breaking new ground as the future landmark development of Ho Chi Minh City, set for completion in 2022. “We’ve done a lot of high-rise development projects, but we’ve never developed anything like this before,” Empire City CEO Nhan Vo says. “When Empire City is complete, it’s going to be the tallest tower in Vietnam with 88 storeys. While it’s quite the challenge, we also know it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Soaring seven storeys higher than the current tallest tower in Ho Chi Minh City, Empire City will stand as a reflection of the city’s economic growth, reconnecting the urban environment once again to Mother Nature.
Although the momentous development covers 14.56 waterfront hectares and is set to include nearly 4,000 luxury apartments and offices, plus hotels, retail and restaurants, Nhan says its grandness isn’t for show – it’s for the people.
