Sofic Tower (now Thisofic Tower) is a mixed-use office and commercial complex located at 8-10 Mai Chi Tho, Thu Thiem Ward, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City – developed by Dai Quang Minh Real Estate Investment JSC (a member of THACO Group) and completed in 2019. Designed by Surbana Jurong (Singapore) and Sdesign Vietnam, it was the first office building to begin operations in the Sala urban area and the New Thu Thiem Urban Zone.
Positioned at the Mai Chi Tho – Nguyen Co Thach intersection, Sofic Tower sits along the key arterial connecting Thu Duc City and the District 1 CBD – just approximately 5 minutes by vehicle to the city center. Metro Line 1 with the adjacent Ba Son station provides an additional commuting option without the need for private transportation.
The building’s architectural signature is its “hanging garden” façade system – a verdant green curtain covering the entire exterior – which has become an iconic landmark of the Thu Thiem district and earned two Ashui Awards nominations (2018 and 2023). Internally, the complex integrates a full suite of functions including offices, a shopping mall, supermarket, cinema, and conference center – a rare mixed-use model in Ho Chi Minh City.
