Có một lịch sử khá thăng trầm, từng là dự án "đắp chiếu" gần 10 năm dưới thời VinaCapital, nhưng sự trở lại lần này với tổng mức đầu tư gần 5.000 tỷ đồng (khoảng 4.988 tỷ đồng) đã cho thấy một tầm vóc hoàn toàn khác của Times Square Phạm Hùng. Việc khởi công vào cuối năm 2025 – đầu năm 2026 mang một ý nghĩa chiến lược, đánh dấu sự hồi sinh của phân khúc bất động sản hạng sang tại cửa ngõ phía Tây. Với quy mô diện tích đất khoảng 40.000 m², dự án không đơn thuần là các tòa tháp cao tầng mà là một tổ hợp đa chức năng đồng bộ.
Chủ đầu tư Thăng Long Property, với sự hậu thuẫn và mối liên hệ chặt chẽ với các tập đoàn lớn trong nước (đặc biệt là hệ sinh thái của Tập đoàn BRG và Ngân hàng SeABank), đã mang đến một luồng sinh khí mới cho dự án. Sự thay đổi về cấu trúc cổ đông và năng lực tài chính mạnh mẽ là lý do khiến giới chuyên môn tin tưởng vào tiến độ hoàn thành giai đoạn 2025-2030. Thay vì chỉ xây dựng căn hộ để bán, Times Square được định hướng trở thành một "thành phố thu nhỏ" với 37 tầng nổi và tới 5 tầng hầm – một con số kỷ lục cho thấy sự đầu tư nghiêm túc vào hạ tầng ngầm và không gian đỗ xe, giải quyết bài toán nan giải nhất của các dự án nội đô. Đây là minh chứng cho tư duy phát triển bền vững, ưu tiên trải nghiệm dài hạn của người dùng thay vì lợi nhuận ngắn hạn.
