The Smart City Financial Tower is set to be the tallest building in Vietnam—a 108-story, mixed-use skyscraper surrounded by a vast public park in Hanoi. BRG Group and Sumitomo Corporation, working with a committee of Vietnamese and international experts in construction, urban planning, and architecture, selected SOM to design and engineer the North Hanoi centerpiece. Said SOM Design Partner Olin McKenzie, “The design is driven by smart technology and sustainability, leveraging passive strategies to allow the building to breathe, giving inhabitants access to natural gardens hundreds of feet in the air, and catering to a dense mix of uses that will bring thousands of people through the building every day.” Learn about the project by watching this video.
