The Vinhomes Central Park covers an area of 141,000 square metres. It consists of functional spaces including hotels, apartments, shopping centres, restaurants, bars and an observatory centre.
In particular, a five-star hotel with 450 rooms will spread 1,000 square metres and look out on a 360° view of the city. Vincom Centre shopping mall covers a total area of 59,000 square metres. A large square and a modern fountain system will connect the residential quarter with a green park and Saigon river.
