With a height of 461.5 meters, Landmark 81 is the tallest skyscraper in Southeast Asia and the sixth tallest in Asia. It combines commercial space, retail shopping and luxury residential apartments, and becomes the new iconic landmark in Vietnam. As night falls, the building puts on a dazzling display of light, paying tribute to the medical and healthcare workers and citizens who are fighting the COVID-19 outbreak. This sign of solidarity and hope is visible from up to ten kilometers away.
