I like the look of the Bonday Ben Thanh - 35 storeys.

wow, those buildings are nice looking, good job vietnam

I'll keep you guys updated if there are new projects coming up

those are cool, may be when my brother graduated as an architech, and i get my Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineer degree we'll be going back there to give them a hand to build a better future of VN.

I like them all. The first tallest building in Cambodia will be only 23 stories. Congratulation Vietnam.

hmm the tallest one in vietnam right now is 30 i think

^A building's height and how many levels it contain doesn't neccessarily correlate.

SJC (Saigon Jewelry Coompany) Centre will be 40 storeys and 150m high. Bonday Ben Thanh will be 35 storeys and 170+m high when constructed.

Kinda hoping we could focus more on creating new houses than buildings.

I mean look at asia with Japan and ohter countries living in cramped buildings.

I want to see suburbs and houses in Vietnam.

It is a good thought of Byron,but Vietnam population is growing rapidly. Building high rise is necessary to suit the overflowing of people. If Vietnam just build houses for each family it would be a waste of land and won't be enough space for the people.

Don't think of stealing my land to fit the over populated Vietnam. I'll kill ya

de

I don't want your land. I wouldn't mind Laos though since that country only has 5 million but that country is very mountainous and I don't think the land would benefit us that much.

I still think there should be a good mixture between houses and apartment buildings.

why you always have to bring up cambodia, most vietnamese dont even give a damn about cambodia, the conversation about cambodia never ever arise during a dinner together, most vietnamese just talk how vietnam is gonna improve, so why dont you just bring your cambodians conversations to the cambodia chat, i am sure they are interested over there

The SJC towers will cost 70 millions USD but it's still waiting for approval.......just like the 65-storey tower in Ha Noi. I wonder how long it would take for these projects to get the approval and be built.

This one is unique...

NQSH, are all of those buildings existing and will be built soon or are they tentative plans that may or may not be built?

TQT, the approval process for such buildings are quite fast actually. Usually takes less than 2 years (average 1/2 year I think) because the city's People Committee is encouraging investment and development of the city for trade and commerce.

DNV, I don't like the Larkhall Savico rendering coz it kinda looks 80ish. More glass and steel please.

Nero874, the apartments are underconstruction. The Kinh Do plaza is underconstruction when I was in Vietnam earlier this year. Other projects as stated, they'll be constructed soon or pending approval. Bonday Ben Thanh (to be Vietnam's tallest yet) will be underconstruction by the end of this year.

OMG Are you serious man? 1/2 year to less than 2 years for this kind of approval process. I thought this kind of process would take several weeks only

Anyway, I like this Bonday Ben Thanh project. The original plan in 1995 was to build a 55-storey 180-meter tower but because of the Asian financial crisis, the project was delayed and now the plan is reduced to a 35-storey instead.

Its the damn bureaucratic system..

Well Bonday Ben Thanh actually took less than a month.

Wow really beautiful buildings, just a quick question but when are these buildings all expected to finish?

why you are so mean? don't you have sense of humor? relax...you need to take a chill pill

Hmm, I just noticed that there isn't a single bicycle in any one of those concept pictures, instead they're filled with expensive cars. So um, how long would we have to wait before we're able to see the finished buildings?

Some are underconstruction, some are due to be constructed within 12 months and some are pending approval. All will be completed by 2008.

The Saigon Pearl project comprises of eight 38-storey residential building and four 13-25-storey office buildings is going to be completed in 2009 under plan.

This one is pretty decent..

I agree. Vietnam should really expand Saigon and other large cities, not cramped it more.

More apartment projects underconstruction or coming soon:

Conic - 12 storeys


Thanh Tan - 20 storeys


The Giant Manor - The complex will have two 426-apartment blocks in the first phase (30 floors) and will then be extended to include a 30-storey hotel and office buildings


Thanh An - 20 storeys


My Khang - 13 storeys


Indochina Park Tower - 22 floors


Phuc Tinh - 25 storeys (completed)


Nguyen Van Cu - 6 Buildings of 12 storeys and 8 Buildings of 14 stories (estimated completion date: 12/2007)


WASECO Indochina - 14 floors

Japan is populated up the @$$, there's like no land there haha. If you live in a house, you must be filthy rich beyond imaginations otherwise you and your family are more than likely to be cramped into a small compacted apartment. As for Vietnam, it's not quite as crowded but is possible to have large houses and suburbs?

Iam sure they are building houses as well, but its just not getting the attention that large buildings are getting... :genius:

^ Building decent houses are quite expensive for an average Vietnamese. Vietnam still has alot of land as we're not as mountainous as Japan or South Korea.

However, if you live in the city, it's too expensive to buy a house these days unless you're willing to move to the very outskirt of the city then it would be cheaper. It's pretty boring outside the city's Districts

I guess you was a city boy? the way I remembered it town life was pretty good as well..
everyone knew each other also there was weekly meetings and other social events such as outdoor movies ,dances...

^LOL outdoor movies and dances? That is so un-city like. LoL

For recreation, my family would be going to theatres to watch movies or Cai Luong (I was tagged along... LOL), going out to eat or taking trips to Vung Tau or the Mekong Delta. Left Vietnam when I was 5 though

Always been a city boy and always will be.

Yes it is uncity like. but it was fun .... left at 6 so I guess I remember more than you

You know the saying, "If you build it, they will come." It is easy to expand large cities outward, but just don't do it like how they did it in the 80s with Kinh Te moi, forcing people from their home into untamed land. As long as they build new schools, hospitals, and acdequate housing, people will move. There's so many advantage living in the outskirt of the city because there are cleaner air, less noise pollution, and all the bad stuff that come with large cities.

Why expand outward when you can expand upward? The higher the better I'd say. I want Saigon to have an impressive skyline like Bangkok or HK, or at least Kuala Lumpur or Singapore.

Also, building up will save alot of land for other projects such as building gardens, parks, industrial zones and factories close to or inside the city.

I'm more into fun so the more compacted the better. LOL

yea compacted is better... and.. you run into hot girls easier haha...
it saves land.. so we wont be a country with just houses everywhere and no land. I think building outwards makes it worse... there will be less space, although we will have more space in our houses.... land, trees and stuff and pretty natural areas would be missing one day because we have to construct over more and more if we go outwards because our population will continue to grow.

Well, I always want Vietnam to have buildings and houses with large rice patties in the center. Nothing wrong with that, city and rural combined.

^That is not practical. And no farming for me please. LOL

I'd love to have a backyard full of tropical fruit trees though. yummm

I agree with you NQSH, that is the best brotha, i was the city boy and also a jungle boy then, but my farm was full of fruits, and now, i'm designing my dream house, waits until i have enough money to go back to VN to build that house, and of course, fruit trees will be planted.

The approval for the 65-storey building in Ha Noi is expected to be in several weeks, according to the recent news. This building will cost approximately 114 millions USD.
