On the morning of June 23, 2026, CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company, in collaboration with BIM Group, held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Aria Bay Ha Long Project in Bai Chay Ward, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province.

The ceremony was held in a formal atmosphere with the participation of representatives from the Investor, CENTRAL as the General Contractor, together with project partners, subcontractors, and suppliers.

PROJECT INFORMATION:

Perspective view of the Aria Bay Ha Long Project

As the General Contractor for the Aria Bay Ha Long Project, with a total CFA of 253,933 m², CENTRAL is committed to mobilizing its full capabilities and resources to deliver a key component of the Halong Marina Urban Area development vision overlooking the World Heritage Bay. The project is positioned as a premium mixed-use development that seamlessly integrates residential living, hospitality, entertainment, and investment opportunities. Located on Peninsula 3 of Halong Marina, Aria Bay forms part of the Marina Bayfront District, a master-planned waterfront destination envisioned to become an internationally recognized tourism and lifestyle hub.

Against the backdrop of increasingly limited coastal land resources in Ha Long, Aria Bay Ha Long enjoys a prime seafront location with unobstructed views of Ha Long Bay, introducing the “Front Row Life” concept-offering residents a truly front-row waterfront living experience. The development draws inspiration from world-renowned coastal destinations such as South Beach (Miami), Jumeirah (Dubai), and Seminyak (Bali), while embracing the exceptional natural beauty of Ha Long Bay, Vietnam’s UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.

Speaking at the ceremony, a representative of BIM Group’s leadership emphasized: “Every project we develop in Quang Ninh represents not only an investment opportunity but also our responsibility as a major investor toward the province’s long-term development. BIM Group is committed to mobilizing the necessary financial resources, experienced personnel, and project management expertise while working closely with local authorities and relevant agencies to ensure projects are delivered on schedule, meet the highest standards of quality, comply fully with legal requirements, and uphold the principles of safety, transparency, and sustainable development in line with the direction of Quang Ninh Province.”

The groundbreaking ceremony of the Aria Bay Ha Long Project, coinciding with the celebration of CENTRAL’s 9th anniversary, marks a particularly meaningful milestone for the Company’s BOD and all employees. CENTRAL is proud to contribute to the sustainable development of Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site recognized on three occasions, through the delivery of landmark developments including Sky M Mixed-use Commercial and Serviced Apartment Complex, Sun Centro Ha Long, and Grand Bay Ha Long, supporting the region’s continued transformation into a world-class urban, tourism, and service destination.

Congratulations to the PMB, and best wishes for the successful delivery of another landmark development!

On the morning of May 27, 2026, the Groundbreaking Ceremony of The Emerald River Park officially took place on Saigon River Embankment Road, Lai Thieu Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, in the presence of representatives from Investor Le Phong Group, General Contractor CENTRAL, as well as partners, subcontractors, and suppliers.

The event marked a significant milestone in the realization of a new residential landmark, bringing together premium and sustainable living values in the Northeast Saigon area.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held just over two weeks after the Strategic Partnership Signing Ceremony on May 11, 2026. This swift transition from partnership to project execution not only demonstrates the strong implementation capability and credibility of both CENTRAL and Le Phong Group, but also contributes to bringing high-quality housing supply to the market sooner, particularly in the increasingly scarce riverside residential segment.

Located along Saigon River Embankment Road in Lai Thieu Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, The Emerald River Park comprises five 40-storey towers, two basement levels, and 2,460 residential units, with a total Construction Floor Area (CFA) of 248,600 m² on a land plot of 18,500 m². The development offers a diverse product mix, including residential apartments, serviced residences, and shophouses, catering to living, leisure, and long-term investment needs.

As the real estate market places increasing emphasis on legal transparency and project security, The Emerald River Park is positioned as a highly attractive option for homebuyers and investors. The project’s readiness for construction reflects a rigorous legal and approval process, ensuring maximum protection and confidence for future property owners.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Bui Nguon Phong, Chairman and Founder of the Le Phong Group Ecosystem, shared: “The Emerald River Park is a project that we have passionately nurtured with the vision of elevating the living experience for our customers. Today’s groundbreaking ceremony marks the moment when the values envisioned on paper officially enter the construction phase. With the support of our trusted partners, Le Phong Group is committed to dedicating maximum resources to delivering the project on schedule while meeting the highest standards of quality, engineering, and aesthetics, creating a truly distinguished living environment for the community.”

Reaffirming CENTRAL’s commitment to delivering a premium development, Mr. Tran Quang Tuan, CEO of CENTRAL, stated: “It is a great honor for CENTRAL to continue receiving the trust of Le Phong Group as the Main Contractor for The Emerald River Park, following the successful collaboration between our two companies on The Emerald Boulevard. As the construction main contractor, CENTRAL is committed to mobilizing our best resources, experienced workforce, and highest level of responsibility to ensure the project is delivered on schedule, meets stringent quality and safety requirements, complies with all technical and environmental standards, and maintains close coordination with the Developer and relevant authorities throughout the project execution process.”

More than a symbolic milestone, the groundbreaking ceremony signifies the emergence of a highly promising development in Ho Chi Minh City. Combining a prime riverside location, a solid legal foundation, the credibility of Le Phong Group, and the proven execution capability of CENTRAL, The Emerald River Park is poised to become a distinctive landmark and a standout residential destination in the Northeast Saigon market.

On May 26, 2026, at National Highway 13, Binh Hoa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company held the Ceremony to Celebrate Five Million Safe Man-Hours at the La Pura Project.

The event was attended by representatives of Phat Dat Group, subcontractors, project partners, CENTRAL engineers, and more than 1,200 workers currently engaged in the construction of the project.

Achieving more than five million safe man-hours without a single lost-time accident is a remarkable accomplishment that reflects the unwavering commitment of the CENTRAL’s PMB, supervision consultants, construction workforce, and all project stakeholders. The milestone also demonstrates the effectiveness of close collaboration among all parties in maintaining site discipline and ensuring strict compliance with Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards.

This achievement serves as a strong testament to the effectiveness of the project’s occupational safety management system, construction leadership capabilities, and the culture of compliance that has been consistently upheld throughout the project lifecycle. It also highlights the scale and complexity of La Pura, a large-scale development requiring substantial manpower and long-term construction efforts. Through strong coordination and support from all stakeholders, the project team has successfully overcome challenges while maintaining progress and delivering quality in accordance with the Owner’s expectations.

As part of the program, the Owner and CENTRAL’s PMB jointly awarded certificates of recognition to exemplary engineers and workers who have made significant contributions to achieving the safety milestone. Gifts were also presented to site workers as a token of appreciation and encouragement for their dedication and tireless efforts in contributing to the project’s success.

Recognizing outstanding teams and individuals directly on site not only provides timely encouragement but also reinforces the message that safety is more than a mandatory construction requirement. It has become a key measure of competence, responsibility, and professionalism for every role on the project. This serves as an essential foundation for fostering a safe, disciplined, and productive working environment.

Looking ahead, with the continued determination and commitment of the CENTRAL’s PMB and all project stakeholders, La Pura is expected to achieve even greater milestones in the future.
