Your call. Will it be built?

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 SAM DigitalHub ranks second by planned capacity. 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 SAM project ArusGrid tracks. It sits on the VSIP III campus. Named funding comes from Saigon Asset Management (SAM) on the equity side and VSIP (Vietnam Singapore Industrial Park). No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-03, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 9 March 2025. The money on record is US$1,500m as of March 2025, the announced investment. Power comes from Not named (reported, unconfirmed).

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 6 public sources for this project, the latest dated 5 March 2025, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.
