Abandoned Saigon skyscraper gets facelift after 11 years

[snoop1130]

 

Saigon One Tower in HCMC's prime business corner has had a new appearance, though construction that was stalled since the 2011 housing crisis has not resumed.

 

Saigon One Tower (formerly Saigon M&C Tower) is a project with a prime location in Ho Chi Minh City. It is located on a plot of land exceeding 6,600-square-meters at the corner of Ham Nghi - Ton Duc Thang - Vo Van Kiet streets in District 1.

 

Construction of the building started in 2007 and was scheduled for completion in 2009 with an investment of VND5 trillion (over $213 million). The 42-story tower with five basement floors, was to be the city's third tallest skyscraper, standing more than 185 meters tall. It was supposed to include residential apartments, a shopping area and office space.
