Hanoi (VNA) – Vinhomes Smart City, an urban complex developed by VinGroup’s Vinhomes in Hanoi, has won the Mixed Use Development and Sustainable Residential Development categories at the 2021 Asia Pacific Property Awards (APPA).

It is the first Vietnamese real estate project to grab the title in the sustainable residential development category. With the award, Vinhomes Smart City will represent the region at the 2021 International Property Awards (IPA).

Two other projects of Vinhomes - Vinhomes Grand Park and Grand World - also won the awards for Residential High Rise Development and Mixed Use Architecture.

This is a complex project with a record low construction density of only 14.7 percent with a trio of parks up to 16.3 hectares, stretching over three kilometres.

Vinhomes Grand Park in Ho Chi Minh City is also considered a great project with a unique design concept with a 36-hectare riverside large park and 15 recreation facilities with creative themes. The ecological and smart campus of Vinhomes Grand Park offers residents the most modern resort life in Vietnam right in the heart of the city.

Meanwhile, the newly launched Grand World, part of the supercomplex of resort - shopping - entertainment Phu Quoc United Centre, has been honoured for its splendid architectural beauty. With the planning of houses on both sides of the river and a busy scene on the marina operating 24/7 - Grand World is dubbed the first “Sleepless City” in Vietnam. 

Nguyen Duc Quang, vice chairman of Vinhomes Joint Stock Company, said: “The fact that Vinhomes real estate projects continue to win many prestigious awards at APPA 2021 shows the creativeness and sustainable development vision of Vinhomes in the real estate field.

“We have been and will move forward, continuously innovate and lead the trends to bring customers a higher quality of life.”

Previously, several projects of Vinhomes also grabbed awards in IPA system.  Vinhomes Ocean Park won the mixed-use architecture category at the 2019 Asia Pacific Property while Vinhomes Riverside was named the World’s Best Urban Area Award in 2018./.
