A brief is a short version of a case study.
Under conditions of expansionary pressure and strong growth trends, the Saigon South New City Center represents a new urbanizing core just south of central Ho Chi Minh City. This new urban node covers a 433 hectare (1,070 ac) district and seeks to serve young urbanites along with international businesses. The new district includes 645,239 square meters (6,945,295 sq ft) of office space, 430,307 square meters (4,631,786 sq ft) of retail space, 3,486 single-family homes, 11,262 multifamily units, and 891,500 square meters (9,596,0236 sq ft) of open space, along with space for hotels, education, civic uses, and parking. Over the decade after its completion, the new district was completely sold and 90% leased with many international businesses choosing to locate there.
