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.

The event was attended by representatives of Phat Dat Group, subcontractors, project partners, CENTRAL engineers, and more than 1,200 workers currently engaged in the construction of the project.

Achieving more than five million safe man-hours without a single lost-time accident is a remarkable accomplishment that reflects the unwavering commitment of the CENTRAL’s PMB, supervision consultants, construction workforce, and all project stakeholders. The milestone also demonstrates the effectiveness of close collaboration among all parties in maintaining site discipline and ensuring strict compliance with Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) standards.

This achievement serves as a strong testament to the effectiveness of the project’s occupational safety management system, construction leadership capabilities, and the culture of compliance that has been consistently upheld throughout the project lifecycle. It also highlights the scale and complexity of La Pura, a large-scale development requiring substantial manpower and long-term construction efforts. Through strong coordination and support from all stakeholders, the project team has successfully overcome challenges while maintaining progress and delivering quality in accordance with the Owner’s expectations.

As part of the program, the Owner and CENTRAL’s PMB jointly awarded certificates of recognition to exemplary engineers and workers who have made significant contributions to achieving the safety milestone. Gifts were also presented to site workers as a token of appreciation and encouragement for their dedication and tireless efforts in contributing to the project’s success.

Recognizing outstanding teams and individuals directly on site not only provides timely encouragement but also reinforces the message that safety is more than a mandatory construction requirement. It has become a key measure of competence, responsibility, and professionalism for every role on the project. This serves as an essential foundation for fostering a safe, disciplined, and productive working environment.

Looking ahead, with the continued determination and commitment of the CENTRAL’s PMB and all project stakeholders, La Pura is expected to achieve even greater milestones in the future.

The Terminal T2 expansion project will be developed on an additional 3,600 m², increasing the terminal’s total operational floor area to more than 21,085 m². The roof of the expanded section has been designed to precisely replicate the architectural profile of the existing terminal, creating the visual impression of a flock of seagulls soaring in unison. Upon completion, Terminal T2 will increase its capacity to accommodate up to 85 check-in counters, add 31 passenger service positions, and feature seven departure gates equipped with passenger boarding bridges, alongside a next-generation baggage handling system. Significant infrastructure upgrades include expanding the number of outbound baggage handling islands from two to four and increasing inbound baggage claim carousels from four to six. The project will also incorporate inverter-based air-conditioning systems and Variable Air Volume (VAV) technology to optimize operational efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance passenger comfort.

The commencement of the Terminal T2 expansion project represents a continued effort to reinforce Da Nang International Airport’s position as a benchmark for socialized airport infrastructure development in Vietnam. The airport’s international terminal has been recognized as Vietnam’s only terminal to achieve the prestigious Skytrax 5-Star Airport Terminal rating for three consecutive years, from 2024 to 2026.

The existing international terminal was originally commenced in 2015 and completed in just 18 months before officially entering operation on May 19, 2017, successfully serving the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week 2017. According to Skytrax reports, customer satisfaction regarding customs queue processing times has improved significantly, rising from 1.5 points to 4.5 points compared with 2025.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Ho The Anh, Chief Executive Officer of AHT, stated: “The expansion of Terminal T2 is not merely a solution to the current capacity challenge; it also demonstrates AHT’s long-term commitment to supporting Da Nang’s socio-economic development. This project represents another significant milestone in our mission to create a modern, convenient passenger environment that embraces local cultural identity while reflecting the professionalism and hospitality that characterize the people of 91ÇŃ×Ó Vietnam. At the same time, it provides a sustainable solution to the region’s growing infrastructure demands.”

Mr. Le Quang Nam, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People’s Committee, acknowledges the contributions of project stakeholders. In his address, Mr. Le Quang Nam, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang People’s Committee, recognized the valuable contributions made by all stakeholders involved in the investment and operation of Terminal T2. He highlighted their proactive role in supporting the city’s broader development objectives, particularly in promoting tourism, strengthening the local economy, and enhancing Da Nang’s position as a key gateway connecting Vietnam with the Asia-Pacific region.

As the main contractor for the Terminal T2 Expansion Project at Da Nang International Airport, CENTRAL continues to demonstrate its capabilities in delivering large-scale aviation and transportation infrastructure developments. The project further strengthens the company’s growing footprint in the infrastructure sector, following its involvement in major developments such as Quang Tri Airport, the Can Tho–Hau Giang Expressway Bridge, Bridge No. 1 and Bridge No. 2 within the Can Gio Coastal Tourism Urban Area, Nguyen Tat Thanh Bridge in Khanh Hoa Province, Metro Line 2, and Dinh Khao Bridge (PPP).

Backed by extensive practical experience, strong resource mobilization capabilities, a highly qualified engineering workforce, and a disciplined management system, CENTRAL is well-prepared to meet complex technical challenges while ensuring quality, safety, and schedule compliance across nationally significant infrastructure projects.

CENTRAL remains committed to delivering projects with the highest sense of responsibility and to contributing meaningfully to Vietnam’s modernization journey. Through sustainable construction practices and engineering excellence, the company continues to play its role in shaping modern urban landscapes and supporting the nation’s long-term development aspirations.

As the General Contractor, CENTRAL Construction Joint Stock Company is delivering the project on a land area of 8,025 m², comprising two basements and two 25-storey towers. Benefiting from a strategic location with convenient connectivity and integrated internal amenities, D-Aqua stands out through its refined apartment designs, optimized layouts, and well-invested finishing standards, aiming to provide a sustainable living experience for future residents.

According to updates from the D-Aqua project management team, finishing works for both towers; including masonry, plastering, tiling, painting, external façade works, and installation of MEP systems; have now been completed. Throughout the construction process, the finishing standards were strictly implemented and carefully controlled by CENTRAl’s PMB, ensuring not only compliance with technical requirements but also meticulous finishing quality.

One of D-Aqua’s key highlights lies in its design approach based on the practical living needs of young urban families. The apartments are arranged with interconnected open spaces between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, maximizing usable area while creating a spacious atmosphere throughout each unit.

The completion and handover of the D-Aqua High-Rise Apartment & Commercial Service Office Project carries special significance for the entire project management team. Through the development of a landmark project along Binh Dong Wharf, CENTRAL not only reinforces its position as one of Vietnam’s leading and trusted General Contractors while upholding the confidence placed by the Investor, but also contributes to shaping a vibrant residential community connected to surrounding commercial and service activities.

Notably, the project handover coincides with a period of accelerated national infrastructure development, positioning D-Aqua as one of the existing projects well-suited to the needs of a broad customer segment and strategically prepared to capture the market’s next growth cycle from 2026 to 2028.

Congratulations to the D-Aqua’s PMB!

Servant Leadership – A Modern Leadership Development Trend

As businesses increasingly prioritize sustainable development and recognize PEOPLE as the core value, Servant Leadership has gradually emerged as a prominent management trend. Understanding the growing need for this leadership approach within its management system, CENTRAL collaborated with Blanchard Vietnam to implement the program, bringing a fresh perspective on the role of leadership in modern organizations.

With more than 45 years of experience, Blanchard is recognized as one of the world’s pioneering organizations in leadership training and development, operating in over 80 countries and supporting millions of managers and senior executives, particularly within Fortune 500 corporations. The organization has consistently been named among the Top 20 Leadership Training Companies for 17 consecutive years. In Vietnam, Blanchard’s programs are implemented through Blanchard Vietnam (PACE Institute of Management), combining international training standards with flexible adaptation to local business contexts.

The “Servant Leadership Essentials – The Power of Leading with Heart” course, customized by Blanchard for CENTRAL, focused on redefining the role of leadership in modern organizations. This model shifts leadership thinking from authority-based management toward a people-centered approach focused on serving and developing employees through empowerment, understanding, and closer connection, enabling employees to openly share their challenges and concerns with leaders.

The model is also built upon the philosophy of Ken Blanchard, centered around the fundamental question every leader should ask themselves: “Am I here to serve or to be served?”

Speaking at the program, CEO Tran Quang Tuan highly appreciated the value of the “Servant Leadership Essentials – The Power of Leading with Heart” course delivered by Blanchard Vietnam to CENTRAL’s BOM and Project Directors. He also expressed sincere appreciation to the organization and shared his expectation for broader cooperation in extending this meaningful program to middle-management levels across the company.

Beyond fostering a servant leadership mindset, the course also equipped participants with essential skills such as building and sustaining trust, practicing active listening for continuous learning, and delivering timely, open, and constructive feedback. These capabilities help leaders improve team interaction quality, enhance performance, strengthen employee engagement, retain talent, and encourage innovation throughout the organization. Through this program, CENTRAL continues shaping a leadership culture that is people-centric, adaptive, and sustainable – qualities that are increasingly vital in today’s business environment.

The ceremony not only marked an impressive milestone for the La Pura project as Zenia officially became the first tower to top out after only one year since the project’s restart, but also reflected the strong cooperation and partnership among Phat Dat Corporation, Artelia Supervision Consultant, BigFour Strategic Consultant, and CENTRAL as the General  Contractor. Up to this point, the project stands as clear evidence of the determination, discipline, and commitment demonstrated by the Investor, consultants, and CENTRAL toward this prominent development.

In addition to its strong construction progress, La Pura also benefits from a strategic location along the frontage of the 60-meter-wide commercial boulevard (National Highway 13). The section in front of the project has already completed lane separation and is now operating smoothly. At the same time, the entire route is expected to complete synchronized expansion during 2027-2028, coinciding with the scheduled handover period of the full La Pura project to residents.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Khac Sinh, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Phat Dat Real Estate Development Corporation and representative of the Investor, shared: “Within the overall La Pura project, the Zenia subdivision is a very important component, and today marks a memorable milestone with the successful topping-out of this first tower. After one year of implementation, this ceremony is not simply a construction milestone but also demonstrates the collective effort, determination, and close coordination among all parties working together toward the successful completion of the project.”

Continuing the remarks from the Developer’s representative, Mr. Nguyen Thien Thuat, CENTRAL Project Director, expressed appreciation to all partners: “Today’s achievement is not only about topping out the structure, but also the result of unity, professionalism, and the sustainable vision that we are building together. CENTRAL believes that the journey ahead will continue to open new opportunities for cooperation and new developments-sustainable in quality, solid in trust, and contributing meaningful living values to the community.”

In the next phase, CENTRAL will continue coordinating closely with all parties to maximize resources, maintain strict project discipline, and ensure the upcoming towers and project components are completed on schedule, while delivering the highest standards of quality and aesthetics to future residents.

Congratulations to the La Pura’s PMB!
