Quick Facts – Global

“In addition to strong

activity in established

centres, relatively new

markets such as Vientiane,

Laos; Phnom Penh,

Cambodia; Hanoi, Da Nang

and Ho Chi Minh City are

showing robust growth

in terms of tall buildings

under construction.

Vietnam, for instance,

is only slightly behind

The Philippines in terms

of projects underway.

Although skyscrapers

are generally considered

lagging indicators of

economic trends, it is fair

to say the burgeoning

economies of Southeast

Asia are beginning

to demonstrate their

accomplishments via their

skylines.”
