The Bitexco Group will organize an inauguration of the Ho Chi Minh City’s highest building – Bitexco Financial Tower today with a screen light show.

Bitexco Financial Tower is 262 meters tall with 68 floors including six floors of commercial area (more than 8,000 square meters) and a grade A office block with an area of 37,000 square meters.

In addition, more than 600 square meters are used for cuisine on the 48th floor and 49th floor restaurant area. The first helicopter pad in Vietnam was built on the 50th floor and an observatory in the 47th floor can see the city landscape.

The observatory will be open for visitors.
