HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM, 26th June 2018 – Sunwah Group (or “the Group”) is issuing this press release to clarify the information on the acquisition of the Grade A office building “SUN WAH TOWER” in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

We wish to clarify that the deal was done between Nomura and Marubeni Corporation – our previous partner. Sunwah Group has been always and remains the largest shareholder of Sun Wah Tower.

Sunwah Group has been doing business in Vietnam for almost 50 years and is one of the leading real estate developers in Ho Chi Minh City with several well-known projects such as Sun Wah Tower (115 Nguyen Hue Boulevard, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City), Saigon Pearl (92 Nguyen Huu Canh Street, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) and the latest luxury project Sunwah Pearl (90 Nguyen Huu Canh Street, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) is under construction.
