Constructed in 1968 in the aftermath of the Tet Offensive, the apartments originally housed soldiers serving in the US military during the Vietnam War. The apartments are adjacent to Bàn Cờ Market (Vietnamese: Chợ Bàn Cờ) on Nguyen Dinh Chieu street, a large wet market.[5] The area is considered a haven for street food, and is a popular destination for food tours.[6][7][8] In 2021, the Ho Chi Minh City government proposed demolishing the apartments, which it described as "seriously deteriorated".[2]
