On the morning of April 27, 2025, in a ceremony that coincided with the nation’s commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 – April 30, 2025), Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, conducted a thorough inspection of the Quang Tri Airport. This infrastructure endeavor is a significant hallmark of the era, symbolizing the robust development aspirations of the heroic land of Quang Tri.

The government delegation included leaders from various ministries, including Construction, Finance, Natural Resources and Environment, and the Office of the Government, along with Quang Tri provincial leaders, representatives from the T&T Group and Cienco 4 consortium, Quang Tri Airport Co. Ltd, general contractor Central, and other partner units.

The Quang Tri Airport project (a level 4C facility, oriented capacity to serve 5 million passengers/year), invested by T&T Group and Cienco 4 consortium, has been started in July 2024 and is expected to complete phase 1 in July 2026. This first phase will include the construction of a 2,400-meter runway, a control tower, technical infrastructure systems, and a single-story passenger terminal, designed to accommodate 500,000 passengers per year. These elements are fundamental to ensuring the airport’s operational readiness and fulfilling its role as a major regional transportation hub.

The long-term development plan for Quang Tri Airport involves a series of upgrades that will transform it into “a comprehensive aviation, logistics, services, and commercial hub”. On April 27, 202, the T&T Group and Cienco 4 consortium have already proposed the early construction of a two-story passenger terminal to enhance the airport’s capacity ahead of schedule. Following the completion of the first phase, the airport will be upgraded to a level 4E facility by 2026. This will include extending the runway to 4,000 meters, allowing the airport to accommodate all types of aircraft without restrictions. The upgrade could also involve the construction of a second runway, contingent upon rising demand. Additionally, there will be comprehensive construction to ensure compliance with Code E aircraft operations, supporting a cargo capacity of 1.5 million tons per year.

Central general contractor is responsible for executing key components of the project, including the passenger terminal, control tower, and MEP systems, with a commitment to meeting deadlines, ensuring quality, and maintaining absolute safety.

Reporting to the Deputy Prime Minister, Investor T&T Group of Quang Tri Airport said that after nearly 1 year of implementation, the project has now completed the aircraft parking lot (32,917m²), official roads, operators, cement concrete stations, auxiliary areas, etc  drainage system. Currently, Central’s PMB is ready with all resources, equipment and manpower to coordinate with the consortium and the Investor to enter the implementation stage of the next items.

During the inspection, Comrade Tran Hong Ha expressed gratitude to the contractors and participating units, acknowledging the serious and responsible work ethic observed at the site. He affirmed, “Quang Tri Airport symbolizes the aspiration for advancement, forged from the sacrifices of countless generations, reflecting the resilient spirit of the heroic land. This project carries a monumental mission: to connect Quảng Trị with the nation and the world, transforming developmental dreams into reality, and continuing to write illustrious chapters in the journey of nation-building and integration.”

He also expressed deep appreciation for the enterprises that dominate technology and pioneer the construction of large-scale projects, affirming Vietnam’s intellectual and capability standing on the international stage.

To ensure the project meets its deadline, quality, and safety targets, the Quang Tri provincial government pledged ongoing support for the investors, promptly addressing obstacles and creating favorable conditions for efficient project implementation.

All contractors, investors, and project management teams committed to optimizing their responsibilities, mobilizing human resources and modern equipment, and employing scientific construction methods that prioritize quality, timelines, workplace safety, and strict adherence to legal regulations for the collective success of this project.

Central’s PMB reaffirmed their commitment to executing the project safely, on schedule, and with high quality, collaborating with all parties involved to create a project worthy of this era and contribute to elevating Quang Tri as a bright spot on the country’s development map.

As Vietnam proudly marks 50 years of national reunification (April 30, 1975 – April 30, 2025), CENTRAL moves in step with the spirit of the nation, heading to the Quang Tri Citadel — a sacred place and lasting symbol of Vietnam’s strength and resilience.

This visit marks a significant follow-up to the 2024 delegation to Vietnam by SUMOU & BUNA Group’s executive leadership, which concluded with strong praise for CENTRAL’s capabilities.

At the construction site, CENTRAL’s Chairman/CEO conducted a direct inspection, engaged with engineers and workers, and recognized their relentless dedication. Operating in a dynamic, multicultural environment, the project team’s commitment has become a point of pride for the company. Leadership involvement served as a strong motivator, empowering the on-site management team to confront future challenges with confidence.

CENTRAL acknowledges that in order to thrive in demanding markets like the Middle East, it must continue to build internal capacity, modernize management systems, embrace digital transformation, and foster a professional, globally competent workforce. At CENTRAL, quality is not merely a benchmark—it is an identity, a commitment, and the pathway to global recognition.

These values distinguish CENTRAL as a professional, resilient, and forward-thinking enterprise, continuously strengthening its global standing through integrity and excellence. Today’s efforts lay the groundwork for CENTRAL’s growth, adaptability, and forward momentum.

Official launch of the high-end Wellness City La Pura – A new living symbol in the heart of Northeast Ho Chi Minh City

On April 18, 2025, at GEM Center, CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company had the honor of attending the strategic cooperation signing ceremony, officially introducing La Pura – an international standard wellness city to the market which located along National Highway 13. This event marks a significant turning point in the journey to establish a new living standard – a place where individuals reconnect with nature, rediscover physical and mental balance amid modern living.

“We are confident with the support of VPBank, with its 30-year history as the exclusive financing bank, which provides solutions tailored to the needs of home buyers; CENTRAL general construction, the esteemed contractor known for delivering solid urban projects with superior progress, quality, and aesthetics; and the strategic consulting and implementation unit, Big Four, led by a team with over ten years of practical experience in major projects, complemented by a network of 39 top agencies that will help effectively advise clients on suitable products. Together, we will leverage our existing strengths towards the common goal of ensuring the quality of Wellness City La Pura, while further developing real estate in Northeast Ho Chi Minh City in line with local expectations for a premium “all-in-one” complex,” stated a representative from Realty Holdings.

“La Pura” means “purity” in Spanish, symbolizing a clean, balanced living environment filled with healing energy. The project is designed to be an ideal retreat, where each day is a journey of self-renewal, health restoration, and spiritual nourishment.

The architecture and landscape are specifically designed for an unparalleled wellness living experience, consisting of 8 towers divided into 4 distinct zones, each offering a unique lifestyle:

• Zenia: “Urban Healing” – immerse in nature
• Risa: Ideal space for families and children
• Vista: “High Vibe” – dynamic and unique
• Lira: “Luxury & Art” – rich in artistic quality and refined aesthetics

Notably, La Pura allocates 1.7 hectares for over 100 amenities, featuring 300 meters of lush greenery, 4 levels of nature, 10 levels of greenery, the first sky bridge adorned with flowers, a complex of 12 diverse “sky pool” swimming pools, along with multiple expansive rooftop gardens.

La Pura is not merely a residence; it is a place to live fully. From the 8-meter high lobby, exuding five-star luxury, to the therapeutic and wellness services available at home, a modern shopping center, and 35 dedicated spaces for children, everything is meticulously invested in and equipped with products from top European sanitary brands like Duravit and Kohler, reflecting a commitment to quality and a high standard of living.

The project emerges at a crucial time as the Northeast area of Ho Chi Minh City enters a breakthrough phase: integration into Ho Chi Minh City, with traffic infrastructure being synchronized and completed. This will provide a significant boost, promising acceleration right at the time La Pura is scheduled for delivery in the 2027–2028 phase.

As the main contractor for La Pura, CENTRAL not only provides comprehensive construction solutions but also plays a role in creating a new living symbol – where every detail is focused on sustainable and humane living values. We understand that a quality project goes beyond technicality and timelines; it encompasses the feelings and living experiences of each future resident.

La Pura is not simply a real estate project. It is a living space “nurtured” with the dedication, responsibility, and aspirations of its creators. CENTRAL is proud to be part of this journey.
