Toshin Development has officially commenced construction of Westlake Square Hanoi, a mixed-use complex located in the heart of the Starlake urban area. The project promises to deliver premium spaces for shopping, working, and experiences for residents in the western part of Hanoi.
In its initial phase, Westlake Square Hanoi will offer a total floor area of approximately 43,000 m², featuring a shopping mall from basement level B1 to the 6th floor and premium office spaces from the 7th to the 10th floor. With modern planning and high-end positioning, the project is set to become an ideal destination for international retail brands as well as businesses seeking high-quality office spaces.
From the outset, the project has been developed with a focus on sustainability and environmental friendliness, adhering to strict international standards and aiming to achieve LEED Platinum certification – the highest level awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
Mr. Shinsuke Kuramoto, Chairman and CEO of Toshin Development, stated:
“Westlake Square Hanoi is a flagship project of Takashimaya in Hanoi. We are fully mobilizing our resources to realize the vision of delivering a top-quality shopping center within the next two years.”
A notable highlight of the project is that Westlake Square Hanoi will mark the first presence of Takashimaya Department Store – one of Japan’s most renowned and long-established retail brands – in Hanoi. The participation of Takashimaya along with other prestigious international brands is expected to create strong appeal and reaffirm confidence in the long-term potential of the Hanoi market.
Mr. Matthew Powell, Director of Savills Hanoi, commented:
“The involvement of leading international brands in this project is a clear testament to the attractiveness of the Hanoi market.”
Once completed, Westlake Square Hanoi will not only add high-quality retail supply to the market but also elevate the landscape of the Tay Ho Tay area, emerging as a new hub for shopping, working, and experiences in the capital city.
