Capital Place a prime working location in Hanoi

Employees are a company’s greatest assets. That’s why companies are offering lots of enhancements and benefits to attract or retain their talents. One of those includes improving the working environment as now more than ever, employees are looking to work in an office space that offers collaboration, connection, and culture.

An office is also the tangible definition of how a company takes care of its employees. Simple elements like table and chairs or modern amenities like contactless elevators and a grand lobby all play a vital part in creating the kind of vibe and energy a company wants to provide their employees.

For those factors, office buildings or shared offices have grown in popularity over the years. With companies trying to shy away from rising land costs and tedious, long construction periods toward luxurious office buildings that offer the most ideal space for productivity and revenue growth, not to mention an "identity" they can take pride in.

Boasting the largest column-free floor space in Vietnam, Capital Place provides tenants with what they need: comfortable working space, large green areas, state-of-the art facilities, world-class design and an unrivaled quality of service.

"This is the place where tenants can enhance their pride of working toward the sustainable development for their businesses," said Eddie Lim, CEO of Viva Land.

HSBC: ‘Aligned with our goals’

Its environmental sustainability goal is what brought HSBC to Capital Place. The financial services institution factored in the office building’s green features and promise of low carbon emissions while looking for an office space that could best represent HSBC.

Modern, well-designed and centrally located, Capital Place is strategically aligned with what HSCB wants to achieve in Vietnam, both with customers and its employees.

"With its location, it's great for public transport. This means employees can use buses or cycle to work — it’s good for their wellbeing, and of course, for the environment. The amenities there are suitable facilities to support the active lifestyle of our employees," said Phillip Wright, COO of HSBC Vietnam.

Being LEED certified, explained Philip Wright, shows that Capital Place utilize clean energy sources, efficient water usage, and waste management - all of which have been practiced and promoted by HSBC across the world. Its Vietnam office upholds the same values.

"HSBC is committed to being net zero across all our operations and supply chain by 2030. This is what pushed us to sign the deal. And we are very happy to be here."

Shopee: ‘Moving in was a milestone’

In July 2021, Shopee Vietnam moved its headquarters to Capital Place to support the growth of the businesses in order to better serve more users. The e-commerce company takes up 3,700 square meters on the fifth and sixth floors of the building, making them the largest single tenant in this Grade A building.

Shopee’s previous headquarters was separated into small discrete parts. It was difficult to arrange collaborative areas where company culture could be fostered. Capital Place, with the advantage of the large column-free floor space and interconnected staircases, has solved Shopee’s demand for a new office space and provided convenience for employees to easily exchange information and collaborate.

"Right from the moment we intended to move, we expected to find a Grade A office building with enough space that enables us to have many collaborative areas for employees in Hanoi," said Tracey Trang Do, head of human resources, Shopee Vietnam.

The strategic location of Capital Place is also one of the key factors for Shopee’s relocation decision. Do shared: "Capital Place is located in the heart of Ba Dinh District. With so many amenities right on our doorstep, we are able to support our employees not only during office hours, but after work as well. Our priority is to set up Shopee’s office as not only a workplace but as a place that fulfills every employee’s need and helps them stay energetic and motivated for new ideas. We are pleased with the services of Capital Place and hope that our employees are too."

Eddie Lim, CEO of Viva Land, shared: "Capital Place is honored to be chosen by a large number of international leading companies to set up their offices in Hanoi. With our extensive experience in managing and developing best-in-class real estate projects, Viva Land will maximize the value of Capital Place and further improve its services. Our vision is to make this project not only a preferred choice for a good location, environmentally friendly and high-quality office building but also focusing on people’s health, wellbeing, and productivity. Capital Place is designed to put people at the center and set standards for new technology and sustainability at the workplace, alongside commitments to health and inclusion."
