Phu Long is developing a wide range of housing projects in Ho Chi Minh City, such as Dragon City, Dragon Riverside City, Dragon Village, and a number of associated projects, such as HDBank Tower and Sovico Phu Quoc.
Previously, Phu Long made two consecutive capital increases in December 2017 from US$31 million to US$88 million, then to US$132 million.
An Khanh Joint Venture is the project developer of Bac An Khanh New Urban Area (widely known as Splendora), where Vinaconex and Posco E&C now each own 50% of the charter capital.
This investment project will build a high-grade urban area with offices and commercial centers in the west of Hanoi, running along Thang Long Avenue.
With a total area of 245 hectares, the project has been divided into 5 phases and was kicked off in 2008.
The project will have 6,440 apartments, 1,311 villas and adjacent houses with the total capital of over US$ 2 billion, according to the initial plan.

According to the corporations’ plans, the project will generate about US$88 million in revenue and US$22 million in profit by 2020.
