High-rise skyscraper Lotte Centre Hanoi held its official grand opening ceremony on Tuesday. Built in the style of the Vietnamese traditional ao dai, the 14,000 sq. m. building also incorporates advanced construction technology from South Korea and features 70 floors with offices, shops, serviced residences and five-star hotel rooms.
The building in Hanoi would serve as a stepping-stone for Lotte Group to reach other Asian markets, Lotte Centre Hanoi General Director Lee Jong Kook said at a press briefing about the opening of the centre.
He emphasised that the building benefited the local economy by generating over 1.8 million jobs in the course of the five-year construction period, in addition to the planned hiring of 3,000 regular employees responsible for the building’s upkeep. Moreover, the construction process itself stood out as exemplary in terms of workplace safety.
