Consummer products and real estates are the magnetics

According to speakers, consummer products and real estate are magnetically attracting foreign investors.

Ms. Dinh Thi My Lan, Chairwoman of Vietnamese Retailers Association, said that recently local retailing industry is leaping in growth. Vietnam has a population of over 90 million people, most of which are young and dynamic. Therefore, retail is growing at a stable pace and its performance is proven better than other industries. That explains why foreign investors highly recommend Vietnamese retailing industry as an attractive gold-mine to cash in on.

Furthermore, urbanization process generates a bigger pie of share for all enterprises. In fact, there remains ample room for retailing growth in Vietnam, since the country’s occupancy rate of modern retailing in malls and convenient stores is quite modest (less than 30%)

Mr. Sam Yoshida, Senior Executive Director from Recof Corp said that investment deals to Vietnam accounts for 80 percent of their investment budget, even higher than that cashed in Japan. Owning to recent openness of local retail market and the diversity of retail channels, there are more and more investment packages from Japan, and increasing number of favorable investment policies

According to Mr. Nguyen Huu Hong Ky, feng-shui guru, the project features three advangegous and compatible elements in one place, a critical condition to generate new wealth energy for prosperty, wealth, and good luck. The eastern and southeastern side of the property, where it confronts Saigon river up to 300 meters, inherit what is called ‘Wood element’ in feng-shui terms. Wood represents human beings, and it is strongly supported by the Water element in the North and Northeast, for Water gives birth to Wood.

The resettlement buildings were developed under the form of land in exchange for infrastructure. That means the city, instead of using its budget for building those condos, called for private companies to invest their capital, and in return, the city will give land to those companies.

This is the first resettlement condo project developed in collaboration between the local government and a foreign partner – South Rach Chiec Central LLC, which is a joint venture between Flemmington Investments wholly owned by Singaporean developer Keppel Land and local partners Tien Phuoc and Tran Thai companies.
