HCMC – Vinhomes JSC, which trades its VHM shares on the Hochiminh Stock Exchange, has been approved to be the investor of a large-scale residential area project in the northern port city of Haiphong.

The residential area project requires an estimated cost of over VND23,200 billion, equivalent to around US$1 billion.

According to the local authority’s decision, Vinhomes JSC would pour nearly VND3,500 billion, or 15% of the total investment, into the project, while the remaining VND19,700 billion would be mobilized from other sources.
