Located at 76A Le Lai, Ben Thanh Ward, District 1, AB Tower is a prime Grade A office building developed and put into operation by A&B Group in late 2010. With extensive expertise in commercial and luxury hospitality real estate, developer A&B Group partnered with internationally renowned consultants – including DCMstudios (Hong Kong) and Indochine Engineering (Australia) – to deliver a sustainable landmark. Today, building operations are managed by CBRE, the world’s leading property management firm, ensuring professional standards are consistently upheld for all tenants.
In terms of structure, AB Tower comprises 26 above-ground floors and 3 basement levels, with leasable office space concentrated primarily from Floor 2 to Floor 23. The standout design feature is its perimeter column structure, which fully opens up the central floor plate.
Unlike older-generation buildings where central columns disrupt the floor layout, the column-free floor design here enables businesses to: arrange space flexibly and easily partition or create open-plan layouts as needed; and significantly reduce fit-out costs while shortening fit-out lead times.
The building sits at the corner of Le Lai and Nguyen Thi Nghia – adjacent to New World Hotel, one of the longest-standing 5-star hotels in central Ho Chi Minh City – with a direct view over 23/9 Park. This location is well-suited for mid-tier companies seeking a Grade A address in the heart of District 1 without the premium costs of newly built top-tier towers.
