Upon completion of UOA Parc Tower and Millennial Tower, UOA in Vietnam is poised to become one of the largest foreign developers by office ownership in Ho Chi Minh City, reinforcing its influence in shaping high-quality developments while consistently integrating sustainability beyond compliance.

Kong further shared that the development of UOA Parc Tower and Millennial Tower represents an important milestone in strengthening UOA’s presence in Vietnam, bringing our total office portfolio to nearly 120,000 sq.m by 2028.

“We are also actively exploring investment opportunities across diverse sectors to further contribute to the growth of Vietnam’s real estate market,” he said.

In the development category, UOA’s latest Grade A office in Ho Chi Minh City, UOA Parc Tower was conferred Best Office Development, the highest honour in the office segment, together with Best Office Interior Design for its considered balance of elegance and functionality.

Located in Tan Dinh ward, adjacent to Le Van Tam Park, UOA Parc Tower presents a timeless architectural expression that complements the city skyline while establishing a distinctive identity. The interior design draws inspiration from French romanticism, reinterpreting poetic sensibilities through a contemporary minimalist lens, articulating a design language defined by purity, balance, and quiet confidence.

Designed to meet LEED Gold and WELL Gold standards, UOA Parc Tower pioneers the integration of AI-powered building management technology to enhance energy efficiency, support water conservation and optimise operational performance.

Sustainability is also integrated throughout the project’s design and development, encompassing responsible material selection, green mobility, tenants’ health and wellbeing, and effective waste management.
