63 Ly Thai To Building celebrates 20th anniversary

Leading members of the business community, senior government officials and diplomats attended Hongkong Land ceremony on November 21 at Hanoi Opera House.

On November 21, 2018, Hongkong Land celebrated the 20th anniversary of 63 Ly Thai To, an eight-storied Grade A retail and office development in the heart of Hanoi’s central business centre.

Leading members of the business community, senior government officials and diplomats attended a ceremony held to commemorate the occasion.

''Hongkong Land early on recognized the potential of Vietnam and its capital city Hanoi, dating back to early 1990s. We are proud to have played a role in developing commercial space of the highest international standards in the city,'' said Robert Wong, chief executive of Hongkong Land.

"The success of 63 Ly Thai To over two decades reflects the close cooperation we have cultivated with our partners and tenants,'' he said.

Completed in March 1998, 63 Ly Thai To is owned 74 percent by Hongkong Land, with Chan Hung Polimex Limited under the arm of The Vietnam Fatherland Front, and Manolis & Company Asia Limited, as joint venture partners.

The building offers 8,000 sq. m. of premium accommodation over eight floors and also has a basement car park.

It is one of the first buildings in Vietnam to have column-free floors and under-floor cable trunking, with international standards of construction, facilities and management.

Situated at a major intersection on Ly Thai To Street, 63 Ly Thai To is in a prime location in the centre of Hanoi, close to the Hanoi Opera House, Government offices, and international hotels. It has consistently achieved an occupancy rate of more 95 percent since its opening.

63 Ly Thai To was Hongkong Land’s second property development in central Hanoi, following the Central Building, a seven-floor Grade A office tower offering some 4,000 sq.m. of space that opened in 1995.

In more recent years, Hongkong Land has been active in the development of residential property in Ho Chi Minh City. Hongkong Land completed and handed over its first luxury high-rise residential development named The Nassim this year.

It is currently involved in two luxury high-rise residential developments that will bring new standards of international living to District 1 and the Thu Thiem New Urban Area.
