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.

Project Overview of the Quang Tri Airport
After nearly a year since the start of construction, the Quang Tri Airport has completed the aircraft parking area.

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.

Comrade Tran Hong Ha expressed gratitude to the contractors and participating units

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.

Central’s PMB is committed to implementing the project safely, with quality and on schedule

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.

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.
