Saigon Centre is a mixed-use complex in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, invested by Keppel Land Watco, a joint-venture among Keppel Land from Singapore with both Vietnamese companies Real Estate Saigon Corporation (RESCO) and Southern Waterborne Transport Corporation (SOWATCO). The complex is located on Lê Lợi Boulevard in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
History
[edit]
Phase 1 of the complex, Saigon Centre I, 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 106 metres (348 ft).[2]
In December 2011, construction on phase two called as Saigon Centre II & III 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's podium 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 193.7 m (635 ft). It became the fourth tallest building in Ho Chi Minh City and the tenth tallest building in Vietnam overall then.
The complex still has phase 3, its last phase, called as Saigon Centre IV & V, which comprises an over-200-meter tower and continue to expand the retail podium on the side of Huỳnh Thúc Kháng Street. After this completion, the complex will entirely within a city block, covered by four streets; however, the phase still has not started construction and is temporarily used as an expansion parking lot of the complex. In October 2025, Keppel received the Investment Registration Certificate (IRC) for Saigon Centre Phase 3 from Ho Chi Minh City government, the construction will be started in late 2026 and will be opened in about 5 years.[4]
