Vinhomes (ticker: VHM), Vietnam's leading listed real estate developer, is leveraging its extensive land bank—exceeding 295 million square meters as of December 31, 2025—to develop integrated urban communities that combine residential, commercial, public infrastructure, and environmental stewardship. This strategic approach positions the company to create long-term economic ecosystems across Vietnam.
The company's latest flagship project, Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long, is a 6,200-hectare waterfront megacity overlooking UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay. This development aims to become a potential "New Hanoi" on Vietnam's northeastern coast, offering an integrated ecosystem for living, working, investing, and resort-style living. Connectivity to the capital will be reduced to an estimated 23 minutes via future high-speed rail, fundamentally redefining regional mobility.
Vinhomes' urban development strategy rests on two core pillars: leveraging its strategic land bank for long-term urban planning and executing globally benchmarked developments that integrate sustainability, smart infrastructure, and human-centered design. The company's land portfolio, the largest among Vietnamese developers, enables masterplanning complete urban ecosystems capable of supporting millions of residents and generating sustainable economic activity over decades.
Unlike conventional land accumulation, Vinhomes focuses on securing strategic sites along emerging transportation corridors, high-growth metropolitan areas, industrial clusters, and tourism destinations. This approach integrates transportation connectivity, environmental resilience, commercial opportunities, and premium lifestyle infrastructure within a single framework.
Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long exemplifies this capability. Positioned along the Hanoi–Hai Phong–Quang Ninh economic corridor and adjacent to the future high-speed railway, the development dedicates more than 2,500 hectares to forests, waterways, and ecological landscapes, including 680 hectares of naturally filtered seawater, approximately 200 kilometers of white-sand coastline, and over 660 hectares of Globe Ha Long Forest Park.
The company's capacity to transform strategic land resources into globally competitive urban destinations is further demonstrated by two flagship projects. Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long is designed to become the world's first urban development pursuing ISO 37125, an emerging international framework for sustainable cities. The project incorporates a diverse residential portfolio, including villas, townhouses, shophouses, and luxury apartments, across six major districts. It also features internationally managed five-star hotels, integrated casino resorts, a 950-hectare golf destination with 12 courses, an 800-hectare mangrove fishing park, Wonder Marina, and a future Central Business District with 30- to 45-storey office towers to attract multinational companies and international investors.
In the South, Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio demonstrates the company's ESG++-driven model for sustainable coastal urbanism. The project became the first official participant recognized by New7Wonders in the global campaign to identify the "7 Wonders of Future Cities." Vinhomes has introduced an expanded ESG++ framework incorporating five pillars: Environment, Social Responsibility, Governance, Regeneration, and Climate Adaptation. Construction uses advanced technologies like K-DPM, which converts soft marine sediment into regenerative construction materials, reducing emissions and limiting natural sand extraction. Future operations target 100% clean electricity from offshore wind, solar power, and battery storage, while supporting 100% net-zero-emission mobility through electric vehicles and high-speed rail connectivity. Vinhomes Green Paradise is targeting certifications including BREEAM and ISO 37122, with dedicated environmental funds supporting mangrove reforestation and biodiversity conservation around the UNESCO-recognized Can Gio Biosphere Reserve.
These developments highlight Vinhomes' role in shaping Vietnam's urban future, offering integrated solutions that balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. For Texas and global readers, this model underscores the importance of strategic land use and sustainable planning in creating resilient communities.
