PROJECT OVERVIEW

Ben Thanh Quadrangle — One Central Saigon is an ultra-luxury high-rise complex development at the epicenter of Ho Chi Minh City. The project comprises two towers with heights of approximately 235m and 225m, resting on a 9-story podium and 6 basement levels.

The mixed-use tower contains Grade-A office space and a luxury hotel, while the residential tower houses luxury apartments. The podium comprises world-class retail and amenity spaces.

This is the most prestigious office – apartment – hotel development in downtown Ho Chi Minh City, setting a new landmark icon for the city upon completion.

 

Why is this project important?

  • Prime downtown Ho Chi Minh City location — a new architectural landmark upon completion
  • Ultra-luxury operational standards across office, residential, and hotel components
  • Hệ kết cấu thép phức tạp: Outrigger tầng 22-23, Cantilever tầng 34,
    Cantilever Truss tầng 40-41, 41-42, 47-48
  • Delivering world-class office space, luxury apartments, and hospitality suites to the market
CHALLENGE — THE PROBLEM STATEMENT

Technical Challenges

  • Complex Outrigger – Cantilever structural steel framing (3,000 tons of steel, M900 concrete)
  • Semi top-down construction for 6 basements with a total depth of 26m
  • Full-unitized glass curtain wall system across the entire envelope
  • Outrigger tower floor height of 16m with heavy structural steel weighing 1,017 tons

Operational Challenges

  • Bounded by 4 active roadways, complex structure, 6-star finish standards
  • Logistics constraints due to downtown central location
  • Coordination with Developer's Nominated Subcontractors (NSC/DC)
  • Coordination for final handover aligned with international operator standards

Key Risks

  • Technical risks regarding structural steel systems
  • Material and labor shortages and price escalation
  • Strict safety requirements due to prime downtown location
