Keangnam Hanoi Landmark Tower is a supertall skyscraper under construction in Pham Hung Boulevard, Cau Giay district, Hanoi, Vietnam. The area is reserved for big companies to set up their headquarters there such as Agribank and VNPT. This tower is part of a complex of residences and office towers, including a 70-story office tower with the height of 336 m and two 47-story residence towers. Keangnam Hanoi Landmark Tower is located on an area of 46,000m2 and the total floor area is 579,000m2, ranking 5th for the floor area of a single building in the world. The investor of this complex is South Korea-based Keangnam. The investment capital for this complex is estimated $1.05 billion USD.[3]

According to the master plan, the complex features a 5-star hotel, offices, entertainment areas, retail spaces, clinics and convention centers.[citation needed] It is scheduled to be completed by 2011. Upon full completion, Hanoi Landmark Tower will be the world’s 26th highest building and the highest in Vietnam. The second highest skyscraper in Vietnam is the 68-story Bitexco Financial Tower in Ho Chi Minh City.

On June 11, 2008, an agreement was signed between the tower's management and the InterContinental Hotels Group to operate the 383-room hotel in the tower as InterContinental Hanoi Landmark. The residences will also be serviced by the hotel and will have access to its facilities.

As of November 2010, the tower has reached approximately 300 meters, becoming the tallest structure in Vietnam. On January 24, 2011, the main tower topped out, reached the height of 336 meters, it became the tallest building in Vietnam while the other two towers had topped out months ago with the height of 212 meters.
