Saigon Centre is a mixed-use complex in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, invested by Keppel Land Watco I. The complex is located on Le Loi Boulevard in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
Phase 1 of the complex was completed in 1996.[1] The phase consisted of a 25-storey building, which set a new record for the highest building in Vietnam then at 106m (348feet).[2]
In December 2011, construction on phase two started, which comprises a 5-story retail podium and a new 43-story building. The new addition prompted a temporary closure of the existing tower from 2015 to 2016.[3]
On July 30, 2016, Takashimaya opened their first department store in Vietnam at the retail podium of Saigon Centre.[1] Tower 2 completed in 2017 reaching the height of 193.7m (635.5feet). It becomes the fourth tallest building in Ho Chi Minh City and the tenth tallest building in Vietnam overall.
Saigon Centre provides over 46000sqm of office space across 10 floors in Tower 1 and 18 floors in Tower 2.[4] [5] Sedona Hotels operates all 284 residential units at the complex.[6] The podium of the complex is Ho Chi Minh City Takashimaya joint-venture store.
