Etown Central

Etown Central is a premium Grade A office development located at 11 Doan Van Bo Street, Thanh My Tay Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, positioned along the riverside corridor connecting the central business district with the eastern commercial gateway of the city. Developed by Song Mai Real Estate Joint Stock Company (under REE Corporation) and completed in 2017, the project is one of the most modern office towers in the area and forms part of the well-known “Etown” office portfolio by REE. With its large-scale design, sustainable features, and strategic location, Etown Central has become a preferred headquarters choice for multinational corporations, technology companies, financial institutions, and large domestic enterprises.

Strategically located on Doan Van Bo Street, the building benefits from direct connectivity to major transport routes such as Vo Van Kiet Boulevard, Khanh Hoi Bridge, Calmette Bridge, and Nguyen Tat Thanh Street. This allows fast access to the central business district within minutes while also providing convenient links to Thu Thiem New Urban Area and surrounding commercial zones. The surrounding area is rapidly developing with residential projects, retail facilities, and commercial services, creating a balanced working environment with improving infrastructure and accessibility.

The development comprises 25 above-ground floors and 5 basement levels, providing approximately 34,000 sqm of net leasable office area (NLA). Typical floor plates range from 1,300 sqm to 1,360 sqm, offering highly efficient, flexible, and column-free layouts suitable for large corporate headquarters as well as multi-tenant configurations. The building is designed to maximize usable area while ensuring natural lighting and open city views across the river and surrounding urban landscape.

Architecturally, Etown Central features a modern glass curtain-wall façade with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability. The design incorporates advanced insulation systems, high-performance glazing, and optimized building orientation to reduce heat gain and improve energy performance. The tower also integrates a green building concept, with landscaped areas and a public plaza at the front, creating a buffer zone between the building and traffic while enhancing the overall urban experience.

In terms of technical specifications, Etown Central is equipped with 9 passenger elevators and 1 freight elevator, a centralized air-conditioning system using advanced chiller technology, a 100% backup power generator system, and a modern Building Management System (BMS). The building has achieved LEED Gold certification, reflecting its strong commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental performance. Additional facilities include a large basement parking system accommodating both cars and motorbikes, 24/7 security, and professional property management services.

A key highlight of Etown Central is its integration of modern office standards with sustainable design principles, making it one of the most energy-efficient Grade A buildings in its segment. Combined with its large floor plates, strategic riverside location, and strong developer reputation under REE Corporation, Etown Central continues to be a highly competitive office destination for companies seeking high-quality workspace close to the city centre while benefiting from more efficient rental levels compared to core CBD buildings.
