Mplaza Saigon

mPlaza received the LEED Platinum v4.1 O+M: Existing Buildings certification (the highest certification level for operations and maintenance for existing buildings) on December 15, 2023

There are few buildings in the center of District 1 that create a feeling of both international and closeness to the pace of life in Saigon like mPlaza Saigon. Standing at the corner of Le Duan – Hai Ba Trung, the building has the solid appearance of a Singapore-style commercial and office center, but still has a bit of softness thanks to the green space on the boulevard and the characteristic curves of modern architecture.

Not only a Class A building, mPlaza Saigon is also a convergence point of many international brands, hotels, high-end services and the multinational business community. In other words, this is a place where every step out of the elevator is a connection – between business, style and professional working standards.

DESIGN & SCALE OF THE BUILDING

The mPlaza Saigon (formerly Kumho Asiana Plaza) is built as an office – commercial – hotel complex of the 5-star InterContinental Saigon hotel in Singapore standards, where the design thinking focuses on the overall experience. Not chasing the massive exterior, the building chooses a modern, minimalist style with strong straight lines, reflective glass covering the entire tower block to maximize natural light. The exterior brings a feeling of “international urban” but still blends into the architectural rhythm of Le Duan Avenue – one of the most beautiful roads in District 1.

Built to international standards, mPlaza Saigon offers a modern working space with a large scale, luxurious architecture and synchronous infrastructure. The building not only meets the needs of professional offices but also creates a prominent architectural highlight in the center of District 1.

• Scale: 3 basements (40,890 sqm, meeting the parking needs of cars and motorbikes of commercial customers and office tenants), 1 ground floor reception hall and 21 upper floors for office rental
• Total floor area for rent: ~54,000 sqm, typical area 1,700 sqm, can be divided from 150 sqm
• Reception hall: Spacious ground floor, luxurious design
• Structure: The entire exterior uses modern Anodized aluminum-framed reflective glass, optimizing natural light and expanding the view of iconic buildings such as Notre Dame Cathedral,
• Independence Palace, Bitexco Financial Tower or Saigon River.
• Ceiling height: 2.7m, ensuring comfort in the working space

The building is operated and managed by Mapletree Group from Singapore. Since its inception, mPlaza Saigon has become the headquarters of many large domestic and foreign enterprises. Thanks to its prime location, high-quality services and sustainable commitment, the occupancy rate at the building has always been maintained above 97% – proving the attraction and sustainable value of mPlaza in the Grade A office market in Ho Chi Minh City.

LEED Platinum Green Certification

On December 15, 2023, mPlaza Saigon officially achieved LEED Platinum v4.1 O+M: Existing Buildings certification – the highest level in the green building rating system of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). With 80/100 points, the building has entered the group of buildings with the highest standards in the LEED certification system, affirming its commitment to sustainability and outstanding energy efficiency. The building affirms its sustainable operation standards, standing out in the following factors:

• Optimizing energy consumption and using water resources effectively
• Comprehensive waste management, reducing emissions to the environment
• Maintaining high indoor air quality
• Providing a healthy working environment and saving operating costs

This certification helps mPlaza become an ideal destination for businesses pursuing sustainable development strategies, ESG and green brand image.

RENTAL PRICE & SERVICE FEES

In the Grade A segment of District 1, mPlaza Saigon maintains a price that matches its position but is still competitive thanks to its operational quality and irreplaceable location: Management fee: about 7 USD/m²/month

Compared to Grade A buildings within a 1 km radius (such as Vietcombank Tower, Deutsches Haus or Lim Tower), mPlaza has a very unique competitive advantage: a “3 in 1” complex – Office + Commercial + Hotel. This helps businesses save on operating costs while still accessing a high-end utility ecosystem.

Operated by Mapletree – Singapore’s leading real estate group, mPlaza Saigon offers a high-quality working space with a modern, international-standard utility system. mPlaza Saigon is not only an office, but also a “closed” service ecosystem exclusively for businesses. All needs from working, meeting partners to relaxing are within a few steps, creating a rare experience compared to conventional office buildings.

The most prominent feature is the commercial – service block located right in the heart of the building, where international culinary brands, high-end cafes, convenience stores and health and beauty care services are concentrated. Thanks to that, the schedules of employees and customers become more streamlined: morning meetings, on-site lunches, afternoon receptions – all in one.

In addition, InterContinental Saigon is a “hidden privilege” of businesses with offices here. Welcoming partners at a 5-star hotel next to the building creates a professional and classy impression that is rarely found anywhere in District 1. Signing ceremonies, seminars, and business parties can also take place right at the complex without having to travel far.

Surrounding mPlaza Saigon is a very “downtown” energy circle, where all the needs of businesses are present within a radius of a few hundred meters. From the tree-lined avenues leading to the consulates, to the chain of 5-star hotels located next to the building, the whole area creates a feeling of both civility and convenience for all transactions and international guests.

The pace of life around here is also very rich: the morning can start with a cup of coffee at the boutique shops along Le Duan, at noon it is easy to choose a high-class restaurant, and after work it is just a few steps to Vincom or Diamond Plaza for entertainment. It is this compactness that helps businesses with offices at mPlaza Saigon always enjoy a comfortable, vibrant but not noisy working environment.
