Deutsches Haus Ho Chi Minh Stadt

What Deutsches Haus Ho Chi Minh Stadt does

Deutsches Haus Ho Chi Minh Stadt is a 25-story, 107-meter premium Grade A+ commercial office tower located in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with 40,000 m² of gross floor area and approximately 30,000 m² of net leasable space across four basement levels. Developed as the flagship German-Vietnamese public-private partnership, it was founded in 2014, broke ground in October 2015, and soft-opened in September 2017. The asset is the first building in Vietnam and Southeast Asia to hold dual LEED Platinum certifications (Building Design & Construction, plus Operations & Maintenance achieved in April 2024) alongside DGNB Gold certification, and benchmarked approximately 36% below the Vietnamese Green Building Council MPC energy benchmark.

The building's technical core comprises an Intelligent Building Management System (IBMS) with automated CO2 monitoring and control, supporting a sustainability-led operating posture. On-site amenities include conference and event facilities, a fitness center, food court, parking, and EV charging stations installed in October 2024. The tenant base spans major multinational headquarters, including Adidas, Apple, BASF, Boehringer Ingelheim, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Schaeffler, Siemens (multiple subsidiaries), Visa, McLaren, and Qatar Airways, together with the German Consulate General.

Commercially, the project is structured as a public-private partnership funded with $110 million in total investment from the German Federal Government and three private investors — Horst Geicke, Bernd Dietel, and Horst Pudwill. Revenue is generated through quote-based commercial rent on the net leasable area, supplemented by event, parking, and tenant services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, executed directly by the landlord's office and through Colliers International as leasing agent. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.
