Times Square, Royal Garden and Saigon Peninsula are three striking real estate projects in Ho Chi Minh City that will be financed by three Vietnamese banks that are undertaking a union process.
This was announced by Le Hoang Chau, chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association, Dr Lee George Lam, vice president of the Hong Kong Association for the Advancement of Real Estate, and Ficombank chairwoman Nguyen Thi Thu Suong during an introduction of the three projects at Windsor Plaza Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City December 12.
The three banks are the First Commercial Bank (Ficombank), Vietnam Tin Nghia Bank and Saigon Commercial Bank (SCB).

The three property projects – Times Square, Royal Garden and Saigon Peninsula – are all mainly designed by Kent Lui, a well-known architect in Asia and CEO of Kent Lui Tactics in Hong Kong.
