Sun Red River Building (Mặt Trời Sông Hồng) is an office and serviced apartment building located at 23 Phan Chu Trinh, Cua Nam Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi. The building was developed, constructed, and directly operated by Shimizu Corporation – one of Japan’s top five construction conglomerates – since its inauguration in 1999. The Japanese developer-operated model is a clear differentiator: technical and service standards have been maintained consistently to Shimizu’s own benchmarks across decades, without reliance on any external property management firm.
The building is situated at the Phan Chu Trinh – Ly Thuong Kiet intersection, adjacent to the Hanoi Opera House and Sofitel Legend Metropole. Views from the building extend across the Red River, the Opera House, and Hoan Kiem Lake. The surrounding area is densely concentrated with key financial and administrative institutions: the Ministry of Finance, the State Bank of Vietnam, the Hanoi Central Post Office, and the Hanoi Youth Union. Hoan Kiem Lake is 7 minutes away.
