Turner International Projects in VietNam


Turner was chosen as construction manager for the Financial Tower, a sixty-eight story office tower in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

At 290 meters, the building will be the tallest in the country and will include 100,000 square meters of commercial space. The tower is being developed by Bitexcoland, the property development arm of Binh Minh Import-Export Production and Trade Co.

The design team includes Carlos Zapata Studio of New York, who based the concept for the tower on the lotus flower, Vietnam’s national symbol, and the Paris-based firm architecture firm, AREP, which specializes in urban development.

Scheduled for completion in a mere 36 months, the tower furthers the city’s goal of becoming a Southeast Asian commercial and financial center.

Architect: Carlos Zapata Studio / AREP
Structural Engineer: Leslie E. Robertson Associates
