Ho Chi Minh City has always been the economic powerhouse of Vietnam, known for its groundbreaking architecture and distinctive urban landmarks. Marina Central Tower, officially launched by Masterise Homes and opened for leasing in July, is located at 2 Ton Duc Thang, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. This 55-story integrated commercial tower, comprising premium Grade A office spaces and a luxury retail podium, is reshaping the city’s skyline with its vibrant presence on the banks of the Saigon River.
Iconic Architecture, Redefining the Skyline
Soaring at a height of 55 stories, Marina Central Tower ranks among the top three tallest buildings in Ho Chi Minh City. Its unobstructed panoramic views encompass the Saigon River, Ba Son Bridge, and the bustling city center. As the largest-scale commercial tower in the city in the last five years (according to Avison Young Vietnam), it stands out with its modern architecture, featuring a square facade accentuated by a few artistically staggered floors, creating a floating green space in the sky.
Marina Central Tower proudly rises at the new riverside square, not only becoming an iconic addition to the city’s skyline but also transforming the commercial real estate landscape. It sets a new trend for future work, entertainment, and shopping experiences while upholding sustainable values.
Strategic Location with Seamless Transportation Links
Strategically located at the intersection of Ton Duc Thang and Nguyen Huu Canh streets, alongside the Saigon River, Marina Central Tower enjoys direct connectivity to the Ba Son underground station on Metro Line 1. It is the first commercial tower in Ho Chi Minh City to adopt a transit-oriented development (TOD) model, offering superior mobility and accessibility for business, work, and leisure activities.
Integrating with Modern Public Transportation Network
As an integrated commercial tower housing a premium retail podium and Grade A office spaces, Marina Central Tower is a pivotal component of the Grand Marina, Saigon complex. This mixed-use development is home to the world’s largest Marriott & JW Marriott luxury hotel and residence project. The tower introduces a host of world-class amenities and prestigious global brands, catering not only to the needs of the office community but also elevating the luxury living experience for its discerning residents.
A Visionary Outlook
Marina Central Tower sets a new benchmark for commercial spaces in Ho Chi Minh City with its adherence to international design and construction standards and its smart, modern infrastructure. The tower features an advanced security system integrated with 34 high-speed elevators operating under stringent control, ensuring swift and absolutely safe movement within the building. With sustainability at the core of office space selection for businesses, both local and foreign, Marina Central Tower is proud to be one of the few buildings in the city to attain the LEED Gold certification. This testament underscores the project’s strong commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development, embracing a greener future.
Office Floors Interconnected with Sky Gardens, Aiming for LEED Gold Certification
Additionally, Marina Central Tower incorporates creative design elements, including networking office floors, sky gardens, and unique outdoor balconies from the 36th to the 44th floors. These spaces not only foster a stimulating work environment but also provide opportunities for colleagues to connect, interact, and find the perfect work-life balance.
Understanding the trend of “experiential retail,” Marina Central Tower introduces five unique concepts in its retail podium. These sophisticated spaces forge a deep connection between brand values and the emotions of customers. Here, luxury brands, fine dining establishments, large-scale flagship stores, and gourmet supermarkets cater to discerning individuals, offering them a perfect blend of shopping, relaxation, and wellness experiences.

Proposed Planning for Adding 2 New Cities in Ho Chi Minh City
According to Architect Ngô Viết Nam Sơn, Ho Chi Minh City should consider planning two cities within the city in the south and north.
Comprehensive regional connectivity
In addition to building strong physical infrastructure, Ho Chi Minh City needs to strengthen its soft connections with other provinces in the region in order to promote economic development. This includes prioritizing the training of skilled workforce and ensuring access to quality healthcare.
