On the morning of  July 22^nd 2026, the joint investment partnership comprising T&T Group, Cienco 4, and Quang Tri Airport Co., Ltd., in collaboration with CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company, held the Topping-out Ceremony for the Air Traffic Control Tower of the Quang Tri Airport Project in a formal ceremony in Gio Linh District, Quang Tri Province.

The event was attended by representatives of the Investors, the General Contractor, the Supervision Consultant, as well as the PMB teams.

With a total investment, worth 5,821 billion VND, the Quang Tri Airport Project is one of the key transportation infrastructure developments in the North Central region of Vietnam. The project has now entered its peak construction phase, with 260.7 hectares of cleared land out of the total 265.3 hectares, while multiple critical work packages are being executed simultaneously.

The topping-out of the Air Traffic Control Tower marks the successful completion of the project’s first major structure, representing a significant construction milestone. Often regarded as the “brain” of airport operations, the Air Traffic Control Tower is a highly specialized facility requiring exceptionally stringent standards in structural engineering, architectural design, aesthetics, and the installation of advanced air traffic management systems. It will serve as the operational hub responsible for ensuring flight safety and coordinating all airport operations once the airport becomes operational.

Recognizing its critical role, the project team prioritized this package from the earliest stages of construction. Despite challenging weather conditions, complex geological characteristics, and demanding schedule requirements, CENTRAL’s engineers and construction workforce worked tirelessly around the clock to complete the structure on schedule, laying a solid foundation for the integrated operation of the airport’s entire aviation system.

Quang Tri Airport is being developed under the public–private partnership (PPP) model. Groundbreaking took place in July 2024, with total investment exceeding VND 5.8 trillion. The project is under the public-private partnership (PPP) model. The project meets the standards of a level 4C airport, capable of handling code E aircraft and irregular international flights; and is also a level II military airport, with a designed capacity of 5 million passengers/year.

According to the latest progress update from the PMB, construction of the airport’s other major components-including the runway, taxiways, passenger terminal, and technical infrastructure-is progressing concurrently with the completion of the control tower. For the passenger terminal, the primary structural works have been substantially completed. Internal and external masonry and plastering are underway, while installation of the terminal’s roof steel structure, auxiliary facilities, and supporting infrastructure continues as planned. Meanwhile, the runway has been completed. For the taxiway and airfield drainage system, organic soil stripping, mud excavation, subgrade excavation, and compaction have all been completed, achieving the required K98 compaction standard.

As the General Contractor for the Quang Tri Airport Project-one of Vietnam’s national key infrastructure developments, CENTRAL is proud to contribute to the expansion of the Central Region’s aviation network, creating a vital foundation for regional socio-economic development. Upon completion, the airport is expected to become a new catalyst for tourism, logistics, and investment attraction across Quang Tri Province and its economic zones.

With the highest level of commitment, the project team continues to mobilize all available resources while maintaining rigorous control over construction progress, quality, and safety. CENTRAL remains fully committed to delivering the project on schedule and contributing to the development of a modern aviation infrastructure that supports Vietnam’s sustainable growth.

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.
