Central Construction Joint Stock Company has officially been selected as the contractor for Center Library Building and Technical Infrastructure Works – VNC2 Zone, belonging to Vietnam National University, Hanoi. This is one of the key projects funded by the World Bank (WB). This follows after Central signed and implemented the bidding package for the University of Technology, also part of the Vietnam National University of Hanoi Subproject, with the total value of the three packages approaching nearly 1 trillion VND.

Center Library Building – Central Area of Vietnam National University, is one of 21 component projects being constructed on an area of 887.9 hectares, with the main goal of developing the modernest and most advanced urban university in Southeast Asia.

The VNC2 Zone is intended to be a hub of modern research facilities, applied collaboration, and technology transfer, aiming to become the leading center in the country for scientific research and technology development, responding to the needs of socio-economic development. The construction of the Technical Infrastructure Works in the VNC2 Zone will be in sync with the social infrastructure and landscape architecture of the entire Hanoi Vietnam National University area.

Continuely being trusted from the Investor in awarding these bidding packages is of great significance not only in terms of scale and technology but also as recognition of CENTRAL’s structured project management capabilities, commitment to responsibility, and reputation in the field of educational construction with stringent requirements. In the educational environment, where operations closely involve thousands of students, lecturers, and research officers daily; safety, quality of construction, and especially the timeline for handover are always prioritized. CENTRAL has demonstrated outstanding construction capabilities with a strict and flexible project organization, ensuring absolute compliance with handover milestones, which is vital for serving the timely commencement of the academic year for educational projects.

Not only focused on fulfilling technical requirements, Central approaches each educational project as a partner in building knowledge foundations, where every brick must meet the highest standards of durability, functionality, and humane design, as these spaces foster learning, creativity, and the beginnings of scientific endeavors and innovative dreams of the younger generation.

Drawing from experience in executing a series of international-standard educational projects across the country, Central is increasingly affirming its position as a reputable construction company in this field, from the North with projects like Dewey International School (Hanoi), Edison International School, Chadwick International School (Hung Yen), Singapore International School (Hai Phong), and Phenikaa University with two significant phases: the lecture halls and the central library; to the South with projects such as Blue Sky School (Thu Duc), Emasi NamLong Campus (District 7), and Emasi Plus International Schools (Long An). These schools are not merely educational facilities; they symbolize integration, where Vietnamese students can learn in a modern environment and access internationally standardized training programs right in their homeland.

With practical experience and a strong commitment, Central is steadily contributing to elevating Vietnam’s education in a structured, sustainable, and proud manner. Each project completed on schedule and meeting quality standards acts as a testament to that commitment.

Daewon – Hoan Cau Housing Development Jvc.,Ltd: Expanding Strategy, Investing in key areas

Established in 1993, Hoan Cau Group stands out in real estate, high-end tourism, banking finance, media, and education – associated with landmarks such as Diamond Bay Resort, Crown Convention Theatre, Royal Golf Long An, and the Dalat Cu Hill Golf Course, as well as hosting the Miss Universe pageant in Vietnam in 2008.

In 2010, Hoan Cau Group signed a partnership with Daewoo Group (South Korea) to establish the Daewon – Hoan Cau Housing Development Jvc.,Ltd, marked by the Cantavil Hoan Cau project in Ho Chi Minh City. Cosmo Royal represents a new milestone in this joint venture’s strategic investments in the dynamic, high-potential Central Vietnam market, marking an expansion of its geographic reach and influence.

Central – Reinforcing its position in Central Vietnam

With a reputation and capability demonstrated through numerous large projects, CENTRAL’s winning bid for Cosmo Royal extends its portfolio of large-scale, high-standard projects currently underway in Da Nang, including: Mandarin Oriental – a quiet ultra-luxury seaside villa area; The Legend City hotel and apartment complex; The Sun Symphony; and The Estuary Tuyen Sơn commercial and residential complex.

Notably, Cosmo Royal is directly across from The Legend City – the high-end hotel and apartment complex that CENTRAL also recently won the contract for at the beginning of 2025. The simultaneous development of these two iconic structures, symmetrically located along the Han River, has created a highly recognizable architectural development axis, marking a significant advancement for CENTRAL in shaping a new urban environment in Da Nang.

In the context of increasingly competitive coastal cities showcasing iconic structures, CENTRAL has opted for a sustainable development path: construction with genuine quality and operation based on trust and dedication. Each project is a link in the journey to create a modern, civilized living environment for the community – particularly in the Central region

Nestled on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, the Mandarin Oriental Da Nang beachfront villas not only offer perpetual land ownership but also provide a sanctuary where the soul finds an intersection between exquisite nature and unparalleled luxury. Just a 15-minute drive from Da Nang International Airport, this project is like a precious gem embraced by UNESCO-listed cultural heritage sites – the majestic ancient capital of Hue, the gentle Hoi An Ancient Town, and the mysterious My Son Sanctuary – along with world-class golf courses designed by international legends. This affirms that Da Nang is not merely a leisure destination but a place where the dream of a fulfilling life comes to fruition.

Mandarin Oriental Da Nang is not just a project; it is a masterpiece conceived from the desire to create a living space beyond all imagination. Each design detail is a fusion of pristine nature and refined luxury, where absolute privacy is meticulously treasured, offering an exclusive experience replete with sophistication. Renowned global names in architecture, landscaping, lighting, interior design, and art have collaborated to weave this dream. Each villa features 3-4 bedrooms, with land areas ranging from 900 m² to 1,200 m² and a built-up area between 430 m² and 600 m², set amidst lush gardens, where the infinity pool quietly reflects the blue sky, evoking a sense of peace and pride.

Beginning in early 2025, every brick and structural frame has been laid with utmost dedication. To date, the villas have donned the sophisticated contours of their completed structures. Under the guidance of the Central Command, hundreds of skilled hands, ranging from 550 to 600 workers each day, are tirelessly finalizing the exterior with plastering, waterproofing, and fence construction. Yet, what truly stirs the heart is the use of precious materials sourced from afar, such as magnificent Spanish stone and deep South American blackwood, all harmonizing to create an interior-exterior space that is not only beautiful but also tells stories of value and elegance.

As the final pieces are completed, Mandarin Oriental Da Nang will not just be a villa complex but a symbol of quiet luxury living, where every moment is a privilege. This represents a promise of a new Da Nang – a vibrant financial hub where dreams extend beyond opulence to embrace a lifelong passion for beauty. Mandarin Oriental Da Nang – where aristocracy flourishes, and life becomes art.

After successfully completing the basement construction ahead of schedule and officially starting the construction of the structure of tower B1.1 for the Sun Symphony Residence project in October 2024, the main contractor Central continues to affirm its reputation and capabilities as it earns further trust from the investor, Sun Group. With this trust, Central has been awarded the contract to provide and install critical systems such as Electrical – Low Voltage, Air Conditioning, Water Supply and Drainage, and Fire Protection for the entire B1.1 tower.

With a scale of three twin towers ranging from 24 to 30 floors, the project will deliver approximately 1,300 high-end apartments to the real estate market upon completion.

The MEP sector at Central has grown significantly and contributed considerably to the company’s overall success in recent years. As one of the leading contractors in Vietnam, Central not only has a strong team of MEP engineers with many experienced specialists, but it is also a pioneer in applying Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in project organization, management, and execution. With this advanced technological foundation, the structural, architectural, and electromechanical disciplines are implemented synchronously and efficiently, ensuring cost optimization, minimizing material waste, and guaranteeing the progress and quality of the project from the outset.

Notable projects successfully executed by Central in recent years include: Empire Cove Residences (Thu Thiem), Thao Dien Green, SolForest Ecopark (Hanoi), Happy One Central (Binh Duong), Masteri Centre Point, Vinhomes Central Park District 9, etc., which not only demonstrate outstanding construction capabilities but also affirm Central’s commitment to delivering high-quality projects and ensuring absolute safety for the investor.

With the achievements it has gained, Central is confident in continuing to play its role at the Sun Symphony Residence project, delivering outstanding value to the investor, Sun Group, and the future resident community.
