Work begins on sea-encroaching urban area construction (Source :VNA)Top-notch sea-view villas, five-star hotels, seaside resorts and a yacht port will sprout up on an artificial island in the southwest province of Kien Giang, as the Phu Cuong Group (PCG) commenced construction on Phu Gia island, the sea-encroaching urban area project, in Rach Gia city on October 13.
The artificial island, invested at a total cost of about 2.2 trillion VND (98.2 million USD), is set to be built into a modern and stunning architectural ensemble. It will take the group one year to level off the ground’s surface and build the embankment.
Of the total 30 hectares, 30.4 percent of the land will be zoned off for accommodations, 14.47 percent for trade and services, 29.95 percent for green trees and 25.16 percent for transportation.
A highlight of the project is the 6,000-square-metre tidal salt-water swimming pool, the largest in the Mekong Delta region. The pool will be integrated with a line-up of modern and interesting games.
Earlier, the PCG also invested in the Phu Cuong high-end urban area in Rach Gia city, which includes a hospital, national-standardised schools and a sport-entertainment complex. The group is currently building over 1,500 houses which will be able to accommodate about 8,000 residents in the area.
Since 1997, the PCG, one of the leading companies specialised in seafood processing exports in Vietnam, has carried out three sea-encroaching projects in Rach Gia city, helping the city expand by an additional 550 hectares.-VNA.
