The Link 345 Ciputra
Developed by Ciputra Westlake City Development Co. Ltd., The Link 345 Ciputra consists of three modern, 21-story residential complexes of nearly 600 two and three-bedroom units located in Hanoi. The residential towers offer a balanced combination of contemporary architectural style and energy-conscious design in order to improve the quality of life for its residents while reducing environmental impacts.
Residents enjoy a favorable location close to commercial centers and the diplomatic precinct northwest of Hanoi on the West Lake, with easy access to Noi Bai International Airport. Homeowners benefit from lower utility bills as smaller windows with shading, reflective paint and insulation help to keep the units cool without the need for air conditioning. The project is a result of a joint venture between Vietnam’s Urban Development and Infrastructure Investment Corporation and Indonesia’s Ciputra Group.
The Link 345 Ciputra has received final EDGE certification from SGS Vietnam.
