IFC Hanoi: An iconic financial landmark in Tay Ho Tay's emerging economic hub

Set to open this year, IFC Hanoi combines Grade A offices, retail, and luxury hospitality in a landmark mixed-use development that reflects Tay Ho Tay's emergence as Hanoi's next major business and financial hub.

Tay Ho Tay is being developed under Hanoi's master plan as the capital's new economic, financial, and administrative centre.

Boasting more than 83,000 sq m of gross floor area (GFA), IFC Hanoi is the flagship commercial development within Tay Ho Tay's first integrated office, retail, and luxury hospitality complex. Distinguished by its contemporary architecture and premium-grade specifications, the project is set to become a landmark in Hanoi's emerging financial and business district.

Tay Ho Tay's growing role

Located at Hanoi's northwestern gateway, Tay Ho Tay spans 186.6 hectares and forms a key part of the capital's long-term urban development strategy. Under the city's master plan, the district is envisioned as a new administrative, financial, and commercial centre, serving as a major driver of future economic growth.

Today, Tay Ho Tay is establishing itself as one of Hanoi's fastest-growing business hubs. Supported by comprehensive urban planning, modern infrastructure, and strong connectivity, the area has attracted a growing concentration of Grade A office buildings, five-star hotels, and large-scale retail developments, drawing both domestic and international businesses.

According to Savills, market trends reflect this shift. Rather than remaining in Hanoi's traditional central business district (CBD), an increasing number of companies are relocating to emerging business hubs such as Tay Ho Tay to support their long-term growth.

Against this backdrop, IFC Hanoi occupies a strategic gateway location within Tay Ho Tay and is the largest office development scheduled to open in Hanoi this year. The project is expected to strengthen the district's commercial ecosystem while further enhancing its position as a premier business destination.

Setting a new benchmark

More than an office building, IFC Hanoi has been developed as an integrated destination, combining Grade A office space, retail, and a five-star hotel within a single mixed-use complex. Widely adopted across leading financial centres worldwide, this model reflects the evolution of the modern workplace, where office buildings are no longer standalone assets but part of a broader business ecosystem.

The development comprises twin 35-storey towers, including the five-star Shilla Monogram Hanoi Westlake hotel and La Résidence serviced apartments, both operated by The Shilla. The towers are connected by a retail podium spanning Basement 1 through Level 4, creating an integrated environment that combines workspace, hospitality, and retail.

Within a single destination, businesses have access to a wide range of amenities that support daily operations while improving convenience and efficiency.

Designed by internationally recognized architecture firm Heerim Architects & Planners, IFC Hanoi combines contemporary architecture with subtle references to Vietnam's cultural identity. The tower's flowing form is inspired by the traditional ao dai, while the stepped podium reflects the layered contours of Vietnam's terraced rice fields. The result is a modern, timeless development with a distinctive sense of place.

International-standard workspace

IFC Hanoi offers more than 83,000 sq m of space. Each floorplate provides between 1,800 and 2,000 sq m of column-free office space, offering flexible layouts for tenants ranging from fast-growing companies to multinational corporations.

Featuring four fully glazed façades, the building maximizes natural daylight while providing panoramic views across the city. A 2.8-metre clear ceiling height further enhances the sense of openness and comfort throughout the workplace.

The building is equipped with 21 high-speed elevators, including 16 serving the office floors, three dedicated to the retail podium, and two service elevators with cargo access throughout the building. The elevator system is intelligently zoned to optimize passenger flow, even during peak periods. Tenants are welcomed by a 13.5-metre-high main lobby designed to accommodate high daily foot traffic.

A defining feature of the development is its network of skylights, multi-level atriums, and landscaped green spaces integrated throughout the office and retail podium. Together, these elements create a workplace environment that promotes well-being, encourages interaction, and brings more natural light into the building.

IFC Hanoi has been developed in accordance with green building principles and is targeting LEED Gold certification later this year, underscoring its commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.

IFC Hanoi offers an international-standard workplace designed to attract top talent.
