HANOI | VietinBank Business Center | 363 M + 249 M | 68 + 48 FLOORS | ON HOLD

[SkyscrapersOfNewYork]

a ground-breaking ceremony has been held for vietinbank business centre, foster + partners'
first project in vietnam. bringing together the bank’s headquarters, conference, hotel and leisure
facilities, the landmark towers are strategically located between central hanoi and the airport,
demonstrating the emergence of vietnam as an international financial centre.

the 300,000-square-metre mixed-use development comprises two towers, connected by
a seven-storey podium building containing conference facilities, luxury shops, cafes and restaurants
and topped by roof top gardens. the taller tower, at 68-storeys, will provide an energy-efficient
new headquarters for vietinbank, one of vietnam’s largest banking groups. the second, 48-storey
tower will house a five-star hotel, spa and serviced apartments.

the scheme has a progressive environmental agenda and is designed to mitigate the effects of
the area’s high levels of humidity using a low-energy, desiccant wheel. the system draws in humidity,
separating the water from the atmosphere and exhaling hot, dry air, which can then be cooled by
ground water and released back into the buildings. this is the first time this technology has been
applied in the region on such a large scale. a serrated facade, made up of projecting fins at 4.5-metre
intervals, provides both shade and a unit of measurement for cellular offices around the perimeter
of the floor plate.

saw this a few days ago. it's really a beautiful tower. one of the best proposed imo.

the V for Vietnam/Vietinbank, the diagonal roof, the solid corners, and the skygardens dividing that awesome facade! they work together perfectly to make a solid office tower. good for hanoi!

ah mod! can you move it to "Supertall",also edit the title:D

It's so isolated from the general skyscraper population in Hanoi. I say it'd look like quite the thing if it's located right next to the Keangnam Hanoi Landmark towers. At least it would help to improve and make the skyline look more attractive

Nice skyscraper. The V roof-line will make this a Hanoi and Vietnam icon.

That looks like a rebar cage for a shoring wall. They're going deep!

In December 2018 it was reported that the bank was trying to reduce its exposure to the project. Either by selling the whole thing and then leasing back part of it, or selling part of it and retaining one of the two buildings.

see here (https://www.vir.com.vn/fresh-plans-for-vietinbank-complex-64688.html)

The major partner was an Indonesian property company. Knowing the way things work in Vietnam and Indonesia, probably neither party was honest with the other. The Singaporeans pulled out, that says a lot. As fast as Vietnam is growing, it looks like the bank bit off more than they could chew.
