Inside Vinhomes’ Vision for the Next Generation of Cities

For more than two millennia, humanity has celebrated its greatest achievements through the idea of 'wonders'.

The first wave belonged to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, engineering triumphs such as the Pyramids of Giza and the Temple of Artemis, monuments that demonstrated humanity's ability to conquer nature through sheer ingenuity.

The second wave, recognised by the New7Wonders Foundation in 2007, honoured architectural masterpieces including the Great Wall of China, Petra and Machu Picchu, once again celebrating extraordinary human achievement.

In 2011, the focus shifted. The New7Wonders of Nature recognised places such as the Amazon Rainforest, Iguazu Falls, Jeju Island and Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, acknowledging the irreplaceable beauty of untouched natural landscapes.

Today, however, a fourth chapter is beginning to emerge. It is no longer defined by human creations standing apart from nature, nor by pristine landscapes left untouched. Instead, it is characterised by developments where people actively enhance natural ecosystems, creating places where urbanisation and nature strengthen one another.

In Vietnam, Vinhomes is translating that vision into a new model of large-scale urban development, one it believes is earning growing recognition from global institutional investors.

Building a Platform for Nature-Positive Urban Development

Long-term institutional investors are increasingly evaluating developers by a broader criterion – the ability to create resilient, sustainable urban ecosystems capable of generating value for decades.

Vinhomes approaches urban development as an integrated process of environmental enhancement, infrastructure creation and community building. The objective is not merely to preserve nature but to optimise it, transforming challenging landscapes into vibrant places where people can live, work and thrive while improving ecological quality.

The philosophy is reflected across several landmark developments.

Built on reclaimed coastal land, Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio demonstrates how modern infrastructure can coexist with ecological restoration, creating new living environments while supporting long-term environmental resilience.

At Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long, the development embraces a fundamentally different philosophy from traditional waterfront projects. The urban masterplan is designed to complement one of the world's most celebrated natural wonders, the UNESCO-recognised Ha Long Bay, allowing urban life and natural heritage to reinforce one another.

Proven Execution at National Scale Creates Investor Confidence

In real estate, visions carry little weight without the ability to execute. This is where Vinhomes has established one of its strongest competitive advantages.

While many developers concentrate their portfolios within a limited number of cities or regions, Vinhomes has successfully replicated its large-scale urban development model across Vietnam, delivering integrated townships from north to south while applying consistent quality, execution speed and operational standards.

That capability has become a defining factor for international institutional investors evaluating long-term investment opportunities.

By the end of 2025, Vinhomes had delivered more than 34,000 apartments, villas and shophouses, while achieving record equivalent revenue of VND183.1 trillion (US$6.94 billion), representing a 29% year-on-year increase and exceeding its annual target.

Profitability remained equally strong, with net profit reaching VND43.3 trillion (US$1.6 billion), up 24% from the previous year. Sales bookings nearly doubled to VND205.3 trillion (US$7.9 billion), while unrecognised contracted sales reached VND186.4 trillion (US$7.1 billion), providing significant revenue visibility for future years.

Nearly 650,000 residents now live across Vinhomes developments nationwide, which it describes as one of Southeast Asia's largest integrated residential communities. This operational scale demonstrates not only the company's ability to build projects but also its capacity to create functioning urban ecosystems capable of sustaining long-term economic and social activity.

For institutional investors, these achievements validate Vinhomes' ability to consistently convert vision into large-scale, operational assets, a capability that can help significantly reduce execution risk, one of the most important considerations in long-term real estate investment.

A Strong Foundation for Global Expansion

As global capital increasingly gravitates toward developers with proven execution capabilities, Vinhomes enters its next phase from a position of considerable strength.

As of 31 December 2025, the company controlled Vietnam's largest land bank, exceeding 295 million square metres, strategically located across major metropolitan areas as well as regions benefiting from accelerating urbanisation, industrial development and tourism growth. This extensive land reserve provides a substantial pipeline for future development while supporting sustainable long-term growth.

Operational excellence has also become a defining characteristic of the company. Vinhomes continues to maintain internationally recognised certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and SA8000, reflecting internationally benchmarked standards in quality management, environmental performance, occupational health and safety, and social responsibility.

Internally, the company continues investing heavily in leadership development, organisational capability and standardised operating systems to support increasingly sophisticated project delivery across an expanding portfolio.

The market has likewise recognised these strengths.

Vinhomes remains Vietnam's largest listed real estate company by market capitalisation and the country's second-largest listed enterprise overall, with a market value of approximately US$19.4 billion. Its brand is also ranked among Vietnam's Top 10 Most Valuable Brands by Brand Finance, with an estimated brand value of US$1.6 billion.

For international investors, these indicators point to something larger than financial success alone. They reflect a company that has evolved beyond traditional real estate development into a trusted urban development platform, one capable of planning, financing, delivering and operating large-scale cities with remarkable consistency.

If the first three waves of human wonders celebrated extraordinary achievements of engineering or nature, the emerging fourth wave may well be defined by developments that elevate nature itself, creating places where environmental restoration, economic growth and human prosperity reinforce one another.

That vision demands proven execution, long-term thinking and institutional credibility. These qualities explain why an increasing number of global investors are viewing Vinhomes as one of Asia's most compelling long-term urban development platforms.
