This project is built or running, so every gate counts as passed.

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Vietnam approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Vietnam.

Where it sits

HCMC metro holds 10 active projects with 722 MW of planned IT load between them, and FPT Fornix HCM02 has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 2 are operational, 1 is under construction, 5 are at the land and permitting stage and 2 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in HCMC metro was 34.8% as of June 2026, on 33 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.

It is the only FPT project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the Saigon Hi-Tech Park alongside CMC Hyperscale DC SHTP, Evolution DC VN HCMC (VN02), Gaw Capital Project Vespa and StarMason Data Centre Campus. Named funding comes from FPT Corporation on the equity side. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The dated record runs from under construction on 4 May 2020 to operational on 20 August 2025.

Grid power for a large industrial user in Vietnam costs about US$0.073 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Vietnam, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “Licence required as enforced (Country Group D:1), no named authorisation found”. ArusGrid holds 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 23 September 2026, and last checked the record on 18 October 2026.

AI workloads

StatusLikely

FPT runs the FPT AI Factory - thousands of Nvidia H100/H200 GPUs in Vietnam (live since Jan 2025), with HGX B300 announced for 2026 - and markets HCM02 as critical infrastructure for AI/cloud. FPT has not published which of its four Fornix sites the GPUs sit in, so I cannot upgrade THIS building to 'confirmed'.

Access to AI chips

GradeNo public signal

Nothing found in the public record. This describes the record, not the company, and it is not evidence that access was sought or denied. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

US licence required for this destination as enforcedYes

Who uses the compute

No tenant disclosed. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy. Not yet checked against second-order sources.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for Vietnam, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
