HANOI | PVN Tower | 1,732 FT | 102 FLOORS

[kkhuynh]

The PetroVietnam Construction Joint Stock Corporation (PVC) is planning to build a 528-m tower, the tallest building in SouthEast Asia after Petronas Twin Tower in Malayesia.

The project is estimated to cost 1.2 billion USD which will be contributed by PVC, its parent company the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PVN), the Ocean Group and the real estate developer SSG Group, PVC Chairman Trinh Xuan Thanh said.

The 102-storey PVN Tower will sit on an area of 25 hectares in Me Tri commune in Hanoi ’s outlying district of Tu Liem. It will feature trade centres, offices for lease and apartments.

Construction of the project is scheduled to begin in early 2011 and complete after 30-36 months

P.S
Sorry, but I chagned some of the informations on this project because I got it off of Vietnam to build second tallest tower in Asia -- Vietnam+ (VietnamPlus) Only because they are false information, that's why I changed it. but there's a chance that it might be the tallest one in SouthEast Asia instead, just not the world.

When the tower is completed, it will be at 102 floors standing at 528 meters and 1732 feet high! that's almost the same height as the One World Trade Center in NYC or Freedom Tower! which stands at 541.33 meters (antenna) 1,776 feet high and 105 floors. 400.5 meters, 1,314 feet high for the top floors! as for the roof it's only 417, and 1,368 feet high.
If the height for PetroVietnam is the top floors then we would beat the Freedom tower because they dont count antennas as a part of the building.

[wjfox2004]

Can a mod please change the silly thread title.

[OneWorldTradeCenter]

Please move this thread, the tower is not U/C yet.

[kkhuynh]

*cough*

p.s it's in the PROPOSAL selection, not U/C!!--''

[kiwi4life]

are you totally sure it will start construction next yr, if so you may want to get some site prep photos done if anyone is on site, if not, no use pissing these guys off, u may have to move it to proposal, not saying you have too though

[Aleks]

it's in the proposal section because it was moved here by a mod. not because you posted it here. please post in the correct section from now on.

THIS will help you post in the correct section and please follow the title format (City | Building | Height | Floors | Status)

Woah, 100+ stories? This would be outstanding for Vietnam.

[caltrane74]

Why are poor countries building towers like this?


Not that there is anything wrong with it.. just odd. No way a tower this large is required in a country this poor.

Oh well, more power to them. Whatever rocks your boat, I guess.

[Nowhereman1280]

^^^ Its because they aren't that poor anymore. People don't seem to understand the true scale of economic development that is going on globally even in the midst of a historic recession in the developed world. Most of these "poor" countries are experiencing constant growth rates of 5-10% a year which adds up pretty damn fast. Vietnam is no exception especially as its formerly hardline government opens up to capitalism and trade. As their economy grows it will create demand for office space and multitudes of millionaires (or trillionaires depending on exchange rates) that will demand super luxury apartments. Heck the very construction of such buildings infuses huge quantities of money into the local middle class.

man another one seems like we are experiencing the biggest skyscraper war ever so far in human history.

seems like every country in asia and middle east that can afford it are considering building 500m + supertalls. guess we can thank malaysia for kicking it all of in 1998.

nice tower cool to see a tower at that height not getting thinner towards the top.

and the cladding is very beautiful and artistic.
