Next gate to watch: Land secured.

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 SAIGONTEL AI Data Center, Nam Tan Tap IP ranks third 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 SAIGONTEL project ArusGrid tracks. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.

The stage was recorded as announced only on 28 August 2026. The money on record is US$3.5bn as of August 2026, the announced investment. Cooling uses direct liquid cooling.

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 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 30 August 2026, and last checked the record on 17 October 2026.
