CENTRAL ACQUIRES 51% STAKE IN 620 INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT CORPORATION: A STRATEGIC STEP INTO INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT

On August 22, 2025, a formal announcement ceremony was held at the headquarters of CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company to mark its acquisition of a 51% stake in 620 Infrastructure Development And Investment Corporation. The event was attended by the executive leadership of both companies and signified a major milestone in CENTRAL’s strategic expansion—from a leading General Contractor to an investor in infrastructure investment and development.

CENTRAL’s Strategic Expansion into Infrastructure

The partnership with 620, a company renowned for its expertise in bridge and road construction, underscores CENTRAL’s long-term vision to strengthen competitiveness, expand operational scale, and contribute more significantly to national socio-economic development.

Mr. Tran Quang Tuan, Chairman and CEO of CENTRAL, stated: “Becoming a shareholder of 620 opens the door to a host of key infrastructure projects. The synergy between our two companies will optimize resources and improve execution efficiency, particularly in large-scale bridge and road works, where 620 leads the market with nearly VND 1,450 billion in annual revenue and industry-leading pre-stressed beam casting technology.”

620 – A Solid Foundation in Infrastructure

Originally established as 620 Long An Concrete Jsc in 2005, in 620 Infrastructure Development And Investment Corporation made its mark early with the Saigon–Trung Luong Expressway, supplying 1,817 Super T-beams worth VND 500 billion. Following its privatization in 2006, the company rapidly evolved into a major player in Vietnam’s infrastructure sector, especially in bridge and road construction.

In Bridge construction, 620 is known as a pioneer in Super T-beam and pre-stressed beam technology—modern solutions for overpasses, expressways, and major national routes. Its large-scale component manufacturing and assembly capabilities have positioned the company as a preferred contractor for complex, high-specification projects. In the Road sector, 620 brings extensive experience in subgrade works, cement concrete and asphalt paving, and has executed major highway and industrial zone infrastructure packages, delivering modern, sustainable transport routes that meet the country’s growing mobility needs.

What sets 620 apart is its integrated capacity across both bridge and road construction—from advanced beam production to foundation and surface execution—placing it among the Top 16 largest hybrid road-bridge contractors in Vietnam. This robust platform will empower CENTRAL in its mission to drive national infrastructure development.

A Partnership for the Future

Looking ahead, CENTRAL and 620 plan to implement a series of strategic initiatives, including on-site beam casting yards, sheet pile and bored pile production facilities, and concrete mixing stations—aiming to establish a decisive competitive edge in major infrastructure projects.

Mr. Pham Thanh Dien, Chairman of 620, emphasized: “Having CENTRAL as a strategic shareholder marks a strong step forward, reflecting our shared commitment to advancing national infrastructure. As the entire country operates like a vast construction site, we stand ready with CENTRAL to strengthen the construction sector and support investors in delivering modern, enduring infrastructure projects.”

By expanding into the infrastructure sector—especially bridges and roads, critical pillars of national growth—CENTRAL is laying the foundation for future success. Together, CENTRAL and 620 are poised to leverage their strengths, deliver exceptional value, and contribute meaningfully to the transformation of Vietnam’s urban landscape and infrastructure capabilities in the years ahead.

CENTRAL HOSTS SPIRITUAL GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR MIXED-USE WORKCATION PROJECT IN DA NANG

In harmony with the vibrant national celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2), and amid the launch and inauguration of 250 key projects across Vietnam, CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company, in collaboration with investor Kyoritsu Maintenance Vietnam Co., Ltd., solemnly held a spiritual ceremony to inaugurate a new mixed-use office and tourism apartment project. The project is located at No. 6, 2/9 Street, Hai Chau Ward, directly opposite APEC Park — a landmark of Da Nang city.

The ceremony took place in a solemn atmosphere with the attendance of the investor, consultants, and the CENTRAL project management board. This spiritual ritual, deeply rooted in Vietnamese cultural traditions, signifies an auspicious start to construction, expressing wishes for smooth, safe, and successful project execution.

The development follows the global Workcation trend — a pioneering concept that combines high-quality accommodation with a modern working environment. Positioned in Da Nang, a city emerging as a regional hub for tourism, events, and technological innovation, the project exemplifies a forward-looking vision in urban development.

The tower, located on an 1,800 m² plot, will feature 25 floors above ground and three basement levels. Designed by renowned architectural firms TWOG and Ong & Ong (Singapore), the building will rise nearly 100 meters with a sleek, full-glass façade. Its premium location offers dual panoramic views of the Han River and My Khe Beach — a rare urban advantage. From its launch, the project has attracted strong attention due to its prime “golden lot” with three frontages and the solid reputation of its investor. Kyoritsu Maintenance Vietnam, backed by robust financial resources and a portfolio of legally sound land reserves in key tourism areas, brings added confidence to the development.

As supply of integrated office-residence products remains scarce in central Da Nang, this project’s presence at a “diamond” location — bordered by 2/9, Binh Hien, and Dao Tan streets — not only enhances its investment appeal but also promises long-term profitability for stakeholders.

Continuing CENTRAL’s string of signature “C-branded” developments across Da Nang, this new project further affirms the company’s exceptional construction capabilities, brand prestige, and the ongoing trust of investors in CENTRAL as a reliable partner for landmark developments.
