Hanoi, the vibrant economic heart of Vietnam, is on the cusp of witnessing the formation of an international-standard commercial landmark. And Giảng Võ is the highly anticipated project that is set to realize the dream of a “Soho, Ginza-inspired development in Vietnam.”
Hanoi: The Time to Form an International Commercial Landmark is Now
From the streets of Tokyo and New York, Ginza and SoHo have transcended their geographical boundaries, becoming global commercial symbols and contemporary urban cultural standards.
Located south of Manhattan, SoHo is a dynamic hub in New York, attracting tens of millions of visitors annually, including international tourists, affluent residents, and global creatives. Its 20th-century cast-iron architecture, with curved balconies and large windows welcoming natural light, creates a unique aesthetic. Landmarks such as Haughwout and Bloomingdale’s on Broadway have become irreplaceable cultural signatures.
Half a world away, Ginza is a bustling epicenter in the heart of Tokyo, welcoming over 30 million international visitors each year. Stretching 2.4 km from Kyōbashi Bridge to Shinbashi Bridge, it offers easy access through five key train stations. A blend of traditional and modern architectural heritage, artistic events, and creative showrooms make Ginza not just an economic powerhouse but also the “cultural heart” of Tokyo.
It is evident that prime central locations, comprehensive infrastructure, distinctive architectural heritage, and a sophisticated consumer base are the key components that have transformed Ginza and SoHo into global commercial symbols.
In Hanoi, Vinhomes The Gallery, developed on the site of the former Giảng Võ Exhibition Center – the city’s first international trade gateway, carries the aspiration to become a “Ginza, SoHo-inspired development in Vietnam.” Not only does it quench the market’s thirst for premium commercial real estate in the inner city, but it also contributes a world-class commercial landmark to Hanoi’s historic Ba Đình district.
A “Ginza, SoHo-inspired Development in Vietnam” is Taking Shape
Vinhomes The Gallery occupies a prime location at 148 Giảng Võ, a nearly 7-hectare site approved by the Hanoi People’s Committee for commercial and service purposes since July 2024. The new Giảng Võ will be an international-standard commercial complex, seamlessly integrating premium shopping, exquisite cuisine, trendy entertainment, and world-class cultural and artistic experiences. This historical turning point reshapes the inner-city commercial landscape, both preserving the old heritage and creating a prosperous future.
The information-sharing event for Vinhomes The Gallery project has stirred excitement in Hanoi’s premium commercial real estate market.
Vinhomes The Gallery boasts a well-planned layout with a building density of 77%-79%. The commercial services complex comprises valuable components, including 199 low-rise commercial units crafted by Vinhomes, accompanied by two high-rise towers and four modern interconnected basement levels for parking, spanning 71,000 square meters with 1,540 parking spaces. The 199 low-rise units offer a tailored commercial function with a unique design, ranging from 73 to 191 square meters each, featuring five versatile levels. Notably, 100% of the units enjoy dual aspects with an impressive 8-meter-wide facade, a 5-meter-wide sidewalk, and a 17-meter-wide road.
According to investors, with only 199 units in the heart of Ba Đình, Vinhomes Gallery embodies the spirit of an exclusive collection, a one-of-a-kind value, and a true collector’s item.
Additionally, Vinhomes The Gallery boasts distinctive architectural and landscape designs that showcase the essence of the world’s finest destinations. Three distinct zones are planned: Little Ginza, exuding modern elegance; Little SoHo, a hub for creative arts; and Little Gum, a space dedicated to historical heritage. The architecture showcases a diverse range of styles, vividly recreating the splendor of Paris, the sophistication of Manhattan, the freedom of New York, the grandeur of GUM, and the opulence of Eastern European palaces.
Vinhomes The Gallery offers not just commercial spaces but also a unique architectural experience that captures the essence of the world’s finest destinations.
Beyond commercial spaces, Vinhomes The Gallery provides premium lifestyle, educational, and entertainment amenities, including the Gallery Street pedestrian zone, Vinschool, and a vast outdoor artwork collection. It also features a rare inner-city ecosystem of greenery and water bodies.
A modern and convenient space, imbued with a contemporary spirit, situated in the very heart of the city, will elevate the lifestyle of urban residents and enhance Hanoi’s appeal to international visitors, much like the iconic SoHo, GUM, and Ginza have done for New York, Moscow, and Tokyo.
Vinhomes The Gallery is positioned as an exclusive investment opportunity, not just for ownership but also for affirming the stature and sophistication of its investors.
The arrival of Vinhomes The Gallery not only marks the confident return of Giảng Võ to Hanoi’s commercial landscape but also ushers in a new era for inner-city real estate: exclusive, luxurious, and irreplaceable. With prime central land scarce, each masterpiece at Vinhomes The Gallery is not just real estate but also a generational legacy for the discerning elite with foresight.
The race to be a part of this new commercial landmark in the heart of Ba Đình has officially begun. However, Vinhomes The Gallery is not for the masses; it is reserved for bold investors who recognize the once-in-a-millennium opportunity to own a unique legacy in the heart of the thousand-year-old capital.
