Riverfront Financial Centre a new landmark in Ho Chi Minh City

With its prime location and iconic design, Riverfront Financial Centre is expected to become a convergence point for prestigious domestic and international financial institutions.

Riverfront Financial Centre boasts a unique position, and is the premier tower on Ton Duc Thang street in the heart of District 1. The building is expected to become a symbol of financial activities in Ho Chi Minh City. With a fantastic view of the Saigon River, Riverfront Financial Centre brings positive energy and abundant vitality, which are sources of sustainable and prosperous values.

Thanks to its prime location, Riverfront Financial Centre offers easy connectivity to commercial buildings, large office towers, embassies, government agencies, and bustling neighbouring districts such as districts 2, 3, and 4. Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien) will also make commutes more convenient from Thu Duc city and Di An city (Binh Duong) when it goes into operation. The improved connectivity is forecast to motivate financial companies and banks to increase connections, promote transactions and investments, and offer comprehensive financial services.

Riverfront Financial Centre showcases unique, modern architecture, comprising 26 floors, one ground floor, and five basement parking levels, with a total rental area of 32,010 square metres. Each floor has an average area of 1,383sq.m for low-rise storeys (L2 - L12) and 1,428sq.m for high-rise storeys (L12A - L25).

The building is designed in line with the LEED Gold standard appraised and evaluated by the United States Green Building Council to meet the requirements of energy savings, environmental protection, good air circulation, and low-emission materials.

With a focus on greenery, the building's entire exterior design is covered with transparent glass boxes to save energy, take advantage of natural light, and provide a valuable panoramic view, giving customers relaxing moments after stressful working hours.

In addition, an imported tempered glass system is equipped with two layers of sound insulation, heat insulation, and UV protection according to the strict standards of a Grade A+ office building. This, coupled with an air filtration system, creates a healthy and fresh working environment.

Riverfront Financial Centre is a modern project with state-of-the-art amenities as a Grade A+ office building. The building has 12 high-speed elevators, 24/7 security cameras, standard fire alarm and extinguishing systems, high-quality imported flooring and stone cladding materials, a 100mm raised floor system according to new office design standards, safe sanitary equipment, a security turnstile system, and a smart parking system. All amenities provide a comfortable and luxurious working environment, contributing to creating the image of a thriving business.

Furthermore, tenants at Riverfront Financial Centre will also have the opportunity to experience high-end services, such as a sky bar, restaurants, and a gym.

With a luxurious, modern working space, five-star amenities, and a friendly environment, Riverfront Financial Centre will become a symbol as a leading financial tower, contributing to laying the foundation for Ho Chi Minh City to achieve the goal of becoming an international financial hub by 2030.
