A New Generation of Grade A Offices for Modern Businesses
Located at 3A–3B Ton Duc Thang Street in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s central business district, The Kross is a next-generation Grade A+ office development designed to meet the evolving expectations of both domestic and international occupiers.
Scheduled for completion in Q3 2026, the development comprises 36 office floors and five basement levels, offering column-free floor plates ranging from approximately 900 to 1,000 square meters. Combining modern building infrastructure, efficient workplace planning, and internationally recognized sustainability standards, The Kross is designed to support the long-term operational needs of today’s businesses.
Beyond its prime CBD location and direct connection to Ba Son Metro Station, The Kross reflects the changing priorities of the modern office market, where workplace performance, sustainability, and employee experience have become central to corporate real estate decisions.
Why LEED and WELL Matter More Than Ever
As organizations place greater emphasis on ESG and long-term business resilience, the role of the workplace continues to evolve.
Office selection is no longer based solely on location or rental costs. Increasingly, businesses evaluate whether a workplace can support operational efficiency, corporate sustainability objectives, employee well-being, and talent attraction.
Two internationally recognized certification systems have become important benchmarks for high-performance office developments.
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) focuses on environmental performance by promoting energy efficiency, resource conservation, and sustainable building operations throughout the asset’s lifecycle.
WELL Building Standard takes a complementary approach by evaluating how the built environment supports human health and well-being through factors such as indoor air quality, natural daylight, water quality, thermal comfort, and occupant experience.
The business value of healthier and more sustainable workplaces is supported by a growing body of international research.
According to the World Green Building Council, employees working in green-certified buildings experience productivity improvements of up to 11% together with a 23% increase in overall well-being.
Research from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has demonstrated that indoor environmental quality can significantly influence cognitive function and decision-making.
Deloitte also reports that organizations investing in healthier workplace environments often achieve stronger employee engagement, higher talent retention, and improved organizational performance.
As competition for talent intensifies and ESG expectations continue to rise, workplaces are becoming strategic assets that contribute directly to long-term business success.
The Kross – Sustainability Integrated from Day One
At The Kross, sustainability and occupant well-being are not treated as standalone features. They have been incorporated into the project from the earliest stages of planning and design.
By pursuing both LEED Gold and WELL Gold certifications, the development seeks to balance environmental performance with exceptional workplace quality, creating an office environment designed for long-term business value.
LEED Gold: Designed for Sustainable Grade A Offices in Ho Chi Minh City
The Kross is targeting LEED Gold certification as part of its commitment to creating a more energy-efficient and environmentally responsible office building.
A key design feature is the high-performance Low-E glass façade, which maximizes natural daylight while reducing solar heat gain. This helps lower cooling demand, improve overall energy efficiency, and create a more comfortable indoor environment throughout the year.
The building also incorporates a range of sustainable design strategies, including:
- High-performance building systems that improve energy efficiency
- Measures to enhance indoor environmental quality
- Intelligent building management systems that optimize operational performance
- Long-term strategies to reduce environmental impact throughout the building lifecycle
Together, these features help lower operating costs while supporting the sustainability objectives of modern organizations.
WELL Gold: Creating Healthier Workplace Experiences
Alongside environmental performance, The Kross is designed to promote healthier, more comfortable, and more productive workplaces through its targeted WELL Gold certification.
The development incorporates a variety of features that enhance occupant well-being, including:
- Improved indoor air quality
- Greater access to natural daylight
- Enhanced water quality
- Workplace environments designed to support comfort, health, and everyday productivity
These workplace strategies are complemented by premium tenant amenities, including a modern fitness center, integrated retail facilities, five basement parking levels with smart parking technology, and direct access to Ba Son Metro Station, creating a seamless daily experience for employees and visitors alike.
A Strategic Workplace for the Next Generation of Businesses
As one of the few new Grade A+ office developments in central Ho Chi Minh City pursuing both LEED Gold and WELL Gold certifications, The Kross represents more than a premium business address.
It has been designed to support the evolving priorities of modern organizations by combining sustainable building performance, operational efficiency, and an exceptional workplace experience within a single development.
For businesses seeking office space that aligns with international standards, ESG objectives, and long-term workplace strategies, The Kross offers an environment where people, performance, and sustainability come together to create lasting value.
