Sabeco World Trade Center was the unofficial name of a proposed skyscraper at 2-4-6 Hai Ba Trung, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The project was planned to start construction in 2010 and complete in 2013; however, it was cancelled and never built. The tower was expected to have 40 floors, feature a traditional Vietnamese house, and become the ninth tallest building in Vietnam. The architect for the project was HOK International. The development, known as Saigon Plaza[clarification needed], was planned to include offices, entertainment venues, shopping malls, a hotel, and a convention hall.[2]
Name
[edit]The name “World Trade Center” is a trademark owned by the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) and is used under license by WTCA's global network of members in nearly 100 countries. The Sabeco project was not licensed or authorized by WTCA.
Background: Market Growth in Vietnam
[edit]During 2000–2007, Vietnam experienced economic growth of 8-8.5%, leading to increased demand for office and shopping spaces in major cities like Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Danang, and Haiphong. Land and housing prices in these cities are disproportionate to the country's GDP per capita.
