The first project is the 189-hectare Cuoi Ha complex with “ecological” urban areas, a theme park and cable car system in Kim Boi district. This is expected to cost about VND6,656 billion ($284.3 million) to build.
The entire area with 1,200 villas and 700 shophouses will be designed for an expected population of 11,000 people.
The construction will happen in three phases - Q4/2022 to Q4/2024; Q1/2023 to Q4/2024; and Q1/2024 to Q4/2025.
The second project is the 85-hectare Ho Kha eco-urban area, including a resort with hot mineral springs, in Lac Son district. The VND2,627 billion ($112.2 million) project is expected to house about 4,600 residents with 110 to 200 detached villas, 100 to 120 semi-detached villas and four-in-a-block villas.
The group plans to develop the second project in two phases: Q4/2022 to Q4/2024; and Q2/2023 to Q4/2025.
