VinFast, an electric vehicle maker under Vietnam’s private conglomerate Vingroup, seeks to build a resort-recreation-park project worth VND3.5 trillion ($137.5 million) in the northern coastal city of Hai Phong.

The project is located on Cai Trap island within the Dinh Vu-Cat Hai Economic Zone in Hai Phong city. The economic zone is also home to VinFast’s 335-hectare EV factory.

According to a project report, the property project received an in-principle nod from Hai Phong authorities in 2019, and an approval for the 1-to-500 ratio blueprint in May 2020.

For the resort section, the project has 308 units, including 306 two-floor buildings and two 12-floor buildings. Once completed, it can host 2,750 residential citizens and 7,000 daily tourists.
