We’re excited about partnering with CMIA Capital Partners to build a township and industrial park that enhance liveability and economic growth in Ho Chi Minh City.”

As a megacity, Ho Chi Minh City embraces decentralized urbanisation to provide for long-term economic growth and prosperity. Conceptually, each regional urban centre will have an industry focus.

The township will be home to 100,000 residents, have a 200-hectare food science and technology industrial park and contain a myriad of recreational spaces and amenities. Residents will be able to live, work and play, all within the township.

The township is expected to generate revenues of about 2 billion dollars annually and create stable jobs for more than 20,000 employees. The township will uplift the region’s GDP per Capita towards the US$8,500 by 2025 target set by the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee.
