  "account": "Hanoi is a key focus for Keppel's next stage of development in Vietnam. After establishing a strong foothold in Ho Chi Minh City with numerous projects including Saigon Centre and Estella Heights, Keppel's Real Estate Division began its Vietnam journey in Hanoi. They pioneered the city's Grade A office segment with International Centre and Vietcombank Tower, developing the premium Sedona Suites Hanoi. These projects solidified Keppel's position as an early mover in Hanoi's high-end commercial real estate market. Now, Keppel is embarking on a new phase of growth in the capital, with Hanoi Centre serving as a defining milestone. As the first retail development directly managed and operated by Keppel in Hanoi, the newly opened Hanoi Centre offers over 41,000 square meters of premium retail space and nearly 200 brands. Ambassador Singh of Singapore commended Keppel for bringing its successful expertise to Hanoi's market. In addition to Hanoi Centre, Keppel is developing the Estiva Charm residential project in partnership with Phu Long. This mixed-use urban development features over 14 hectares of residential, commercial, service, and community facilities, further expanding Keppel's investment portfolio in Hanoi. Keppel's growing investments in Hanoi reflect confidence in the city's long-term growth potential and its broader strategy for Vietnam's real estate market. The company is also venturing into sustainable urban renewal, energy-as-a-service, clean energy, and digital connectivity infrastructure to complement its real estate developments.",
