The two projects are the Dai Phuoc River Tourism Urban Area; and the Phong Phu Riverside Tourism Urban Area, both located in Dai Phuoc commune, Nhon Trach district.
According to the provincial Department of Planning and Investment, the consortium comprising Phong Phu Investment JSC, Thanh Loi Construction Investment and Trading Co., Ltd, HB Grand Land JSC, and An Phu Real Estate Investment and Trading JSC is the only one to apply for the Phong Phu Riverside project.
This project, spanning approximately 75.47 hectares, has a total investment of nearly VND7.78 trillion ($316.2 million), including VND7.07 trillion for technical infrastructure and over VND710 billion for compensation and land clearance
Meanwhile, a consortium comprising Ha Phu Riverland Investment JSC, Thanh Loi Construction Investment and Trading Co., Ltd, HB Grand Land JSC, and G7-Invest JSC was the sole applicant for the Dai Phuoc River Tourism Urban Area project.
This project, covering nearly 50 hectares, has a total investment of approximately VND6.42 trillion ($260.92 million) - over VND5.94 trillion for technical infrastructure and VND472 billion for compensation and resettlement support.
Both projects are expected to be completed within six years from the time the investors are selected, recognized and assigned to implement them.
The Dong Nai People's Committee granted in-principle approvals for both projects in January 2024.
Later the same month, the provincial Department of Planning and Investment issued an invitation to domestic and international investors to participate in the projects. After two deadline extensions, no additional bidders have registered for them, leaving the two consortiums led by Thanh Loi as the only qualified candidates.
