The Iconic Tower in Ho Chi Minh City That Elevates Every Home in Its Sight
Landmark 81, currently Vietnam’s tallest building and once among Asia’s highest, stands at 461 meters with 81 floors. Its towering height and riverside location offer residents breathtaking city views, significantly boosting property values.
Its unique design and height make it a standout feature from every angle in the city. At night, Landmark 81 glows with lights, making it a coveted sight for homeowners. Real estate agents highlight this as a key factor for both renters and buyers, especially younger residents seeking a modern urban lifestyle.
Agents note that a balcony view of Landmark 81 is a top priority for buyers. The evening glow enhances rental appeal for nearby buildings. Units without this view often rent for hundreds of thousands less per month.
Gia Hùng, a rental agent, recalls a unit priced at 5 million VND/month with a Landmark view, prized for its stunning night scenery. Rental prices vary based on proximity, view direction, and unit quality, but most tenants are willing to pay a premium for this view.
In districts like Bình Thạnh and Phú Nhuận, Landmark 81 dominates the skyline, enhancing its appeal. Agents note that infrastructure issues, such as flooding on Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh during the rainy season, are a concern. However, convenient transportation links and the iconic view keep property prices stable.
Landlords share that tenants prioritize views over interiors or amenities. Units with better views command higher prices, even for the same size. Feng shui considerations also play a role, as tenants seek views that align with their age and offer expansive cityscapes.
Young renters often seek beautiful views as a way to unwind after work, valuing it as a lifestyle experience rather than just a place to stay. This consistent demand keeps the market for view-oriented apartments strong. When a Landmark 81 view is available, it becomes the top choice for tenants.
Cam Ly, an office worker, finds that enjoying a beautiful view from home helps her relax after a long day. This motivates her to strive for a better life at every stage.
In recent projects, developers often design balconies and windows to face Landmark 81. Both buyers and investors favor units with this view due to their higher liquidity.
Even from a distance, the tower remains a compelling feature that enhances property appeal.
Landmark 81 was once a symbol of Vinhomes. In July 2022, Vinhomes transferred management to Vinpearl, though this was an internal transaction, and the tower remains under Vingroup’s operational control.
