Ben Thanh Tower is a Grade B mixed-use building located at 172-174 Ky Con, Nguyen Thai Binh Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The developer is Ben Thanh Land Joint Stock Company with a total investment of over 300 billion VND. The architecture was designed by SWA – an American architecture firm – to Officetel standards, combining professional office space and premium serviced apartments within a single development.
The building benefits from 3 street frontages along Ky Con, Le Thi Hong Gam, and Dang Thi Nhu – a rare advantage in District 1 that enhances brand visibility and allows easy access from multiple directions. Ky Con Street is a two-way, four-lane road with less congestion than many central routes, providing quick connections to Vo Van Kiet, Tran Hung Dao, and the Thu Thiem Tunnel. Notably, Ben Thanh Metro Station on Metro Line 1 is located less than 200m from the building – a transportation advantage that has become increasingly tangible since the Metro line began operations.
