Indochina Capital

Peter Ryder and Rick Mayo-Smith established Indochina Capital by merging their respective development and investment operations in Hanoi and HCM City. By the time of the merger in 1999, the two businesses had already completed a number of real estate projects and advisory assignments, including the development of landmark projects on key sites in Hanoi, HCM City and Danang: 63 Ly Thai To (the World Bank’s Vietnam headquarters in Hanoi), Saigon Centre (HCM City’s most prestigious office, retail and residential mixed-use complex) and the Furama Resort (Vietnam’s first 5-star luxury resort, located along Danang’s legendary coastline). The two firms had also provided market entry and investment consultancy services to a handful of prominent multinationals, including Morgan Stanley, Kajima, and Shimizu, and were active in the very early stages of the SOE privatization process.
