The project, which received its construction license from Binh Duong province’s Department of Construction in November 2023, plans to start offering products in December 2025.
Located in a prime spot at DT 743C street, Di An town, it is connected to key roads, such as My Phuoc-Tan Van road connecting Binh Duong province and Ho Chi Minh City, National Highway 1K, National Highway 13, Pham Van Dong Avenue, and the to-be-built extension of Metro lines 1 and 3.
In the one-kilometer radius, the project is linked to Vincom Plaza Di An shopping center, Song Than 2 Industrial Park, Di An market, Di An High School, VSIP 1 Industrial Park, Song Than 1 Industrial Park, Aeon Binh Duong mall, and Thuan Giao market.
The distance between the project and HCMC’s District 1 is 19 kilometers.
Phu Dong SkyOne will offer "tailor-made" amenities stretching from the ground floor to the 4th floor of the building, fully meeting the needs of young people involved in an active lifestyle, such as a warm water swimming pool, jacuzzi, preschool, food court, BBQ area, bar, children's playground, gym, yoga room, and community room.
All apartments will be furnished with famous brands and will go on sale in March 2024, with an expected selling price of from VND1.4 billion ($57,354) to VND2.2 billion ($90,127).
As many as 75% will be priced from VND1.4 billion ($57,354) to VND1.8 billion ($73,740) per unit, suitable for the needs of young families.
