The Universal Formula for Iconic Commercial Landmarks
Iconic commercial towers around the world are more than just workplaces and shopping destinations; they are symbols of prosperity and progress. Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, with an expected 470 million visitors by 2024, has become a global tourism landmark. Its shopping complex, The Shoppes, stands out with its airy architecture and unique man-made canal, offering a premium shopping experience.
In Thailand, Iconsiam on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, is equally impressive with the first Apple Store in Thailand and major brands like Adidas Originals, making it a must-visit destination.
Both are testaments to the allure of integrated commercial developments, thanks to their prime locations, exquisite designs, and harmonious blend of commercial, office, culinary, and entertainment spaces, creating attractive destinations for global businesses and tourists alike.

Commercial Towers – Symbols of Prosperity in Major Cities
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s dynamic economic hub, is also witnessing the emergence of iconic structures, aiming to become a global city by 2050. In this context, Marina Central Tower, an integrated Grade A office tower within the Grand Marina, Saigon complex, is expected to become a new landmark, reshaping the city’s skyline and boosting economic growth in the coming years.
An Iconic Commercial Tower within the Grand Marina, Saigon Complex
Ba Son, a historical witness to the development of Ho Chi Minh City and once a center for maritime industry and national defense, has been reborn with a strategic vision as Grand Marina, Saigon – an international-standard complex featuring branded residences under the Marriott & JW Marriott labels.

Commercial Landmark at the New Riverside Square
Against this heritage backdrop, Marina Central Tower emerges as a new commercial icon, building on and enhancing the value of Ba Son, while pioneering the creation of world-class business and working spaces. The tower not only marks the area’s remarkable development but also contributes to transforming Grand Marina, Saigon, into a vibrant riverside square – a new economic and cultural hub for Ho Chi Minh City.
While the Marriott residences offer residents the pinnacle of five-star living, Marina Central Tower caters to the needs of global businesses, from multinational corporations to premium brands. These two pinnacles of excellence combine to create the perfect “live, work, and play” model within a heritage setting, solidifying Ho Chi Minh City’s standing on the international stage.

Located at the intersection of Ton Duc Thang and Nguyen Huu Canh, by the Saigon River, and adjacent to the Ba Son Bridge, Marina Central Tower soars 55 stories as a Grade A office tower integrated with premium retail spaces.

Featuring 87,000 sqm of Grade A office space and modern infrastructure, Marina Central Tower perfectly meets the demands of international businesses. A unique feature is the outdoor balcony on office floors 36 to 44, providing a creative space for colleagues to connect, collaborate, and relax in harmony.

Grade A Premium Office Space
Situated in a bustling commercial hub, Marina Central Tower optimizes its location with a five-story retail podium and four floors of fine dining. With nearly 21,000 sqm of space, it is an ideal destination for luxury brands and renowned restaurants, catering to sophisticated and discerning customers always seeking novelty and exclusivity.

Rooftop Restaurant with the City’s Best Views
As the gateway to Grand Marina, Saigon, brands at Marina Central Tower have the opportunity to reach a community of global elite residents who have chosen this place as their home to enjoy a convenient “all-in-one” lifestyle.
Committed to sustainability, Marina Central Tower aims for LEED Gold certification with eco-friendly solutions like reusing air-conditioning wastewater and implementing a recycling waste management system. This development is not just a modern architectural marvel but also a symbol of innovation and social responsibility. With its prime location, contemporary design, and international standards developed by Masterise Homes, Marina Central Tower promises to become Ho Chi Minh City’s new prosperity icon, attracting multinational corporations and premium brands, thus creating a world-class living and working environment.
In August, Marina Central Tower completed 100% of its exterior glass facade and is expected to open in 2025, with office and retail spaces available for lease from July 2024.
