British architect Atkins has started work on a 460-metre-high skyscraper in Ho Chi Minh City, which is set to become the tallest building in Vietnam on completion.<\/p>\n

Located on the banks of the Saigon River, the 81-storey mixed-use tower by local developers Vingroup will claim the title from the 345-metre Landmark 72 in Hanoi.<\/p>\n

\"Tallest<\/a><\/p>\n

The Vincom Landmark 81 will rise from a square footprint as 25 thin sections of various heights, with shorter elements topped with roof gardens around the edges and taller parts of the glass-clad structure located in the centre.<\/p>\n

Atkins \u2013 responsible for both the architecture and landscape design of the 241,000-square-metre development \u2013 has designed the tower to include a hotel, serviced residential apartments and retail space. A luxury shopping centre will face onto a large landscaped area at its base.<\/p>\n

\"Tallest<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOur challenge was to create a unique and dynamic landmark tower design to support Vingroup\u2019s vision for a high-end mixed-use development,\u201d said Bertil de Kleynen, director of architecture and landscape for Atkins in the Asia Pacific region. \u201cThe tower is integrated into the public realm that addresses sustainable design challenges at various interfaces of the project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atkins is collaborating with British engineering group Arup on the design and construction of the skyscraper, which will exceed the height of landmark structures including Chicago\u2019s Willis Tower and Kuala Lumpur\u2019s Petrona Towers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project marks a significant progress for Atkins in Vietnam and reinforces our track record in landmark projects on a global scale,\u201d said de Kleynen.<\/p>\n

As Vietnam\u2019s largest urban area and financial capital, Ho Chi Minh City is undergoing a construction boom as the country\u2019s economy burgeons.<\/p>\n

Due to complete in 2017, Landmark 81 will add to the city\u2019s growing skyline that also includes the Bitexco Financial Tower, Vietcombank Tower and Saigon One Tower \u2013 all of which are over 40 storeys high and have been finished in the past five years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
