HO CHI MINH CITY | Bitexco Financial Tower | 262 m / 860 ft | 68 floors

This thing is under-construction in Vietnam and will be completed October of this year.

Looks like it has a helicoptor landing pad.

Looks like a lampost in that first rendering. Good to see more more tall buildings going into Saigon

Very nice looking building, though I think it would be better without that crazy helipad. I wonder if there's some sort of ordinance that requires helicopter access.

Ho Chi Minh has it going. I hope this tower and other subsequent develpoments will bring more recogition for Vietnam. Vietnam seems very underated.

Thanks for for upate.

Didn't you notice on the plane when you started talking, eventually I started reading the vomit bag?
