Hanoi is at the top of the list.

Home to 22 of the nation’s top 50 universities, specializing in the fields of technology, science, fine arts and medicine, Hanoi is the largest center for higher education in Vietnam, where over 1.6 million students are educated by a faculty of 60,000. In addition, workforce as industrialization and modernization in the region creates increasingly sophisticated jobs.

ECOPARK

Hung Yen Province Since its establishment in 1997, the Hung Yen Province has experienced substantial growth. Due to its location near to the capital city of Hanoi, excellent connectivity by road, rail, and waterway, and government initiatives to develop modern infrastructure and industrial zones, the province has successfully attracted over 400 industrial projects, with more than 50 of them foreign-invested. In addition, it has quickly become the 2nd most densely populated province in Vietnam. Ecopark, in the heart of this rapidly developing region, will provide an accessible and attractive solution for suburban expansion.

W. Somerset Maugham

Ecopark’s Story with an annual population growth estimated at 3.5%, inadequate existing infrastructure, pollution, and an undersupply of housing are contributing factors that have created a need for expansion and a demand for new master-planned urban areas.

Ecopark, as the largest urban township in northern Vietnam, is positioned to not only satisfy the housing, infrastructure, and environmental demands of the region, but also to develop a community with a unique identity to provide an unprecedented quality of life to its residents.

Imagine having the opportunity, for the first time, to escape from the endless confines of steel and concrete and the chaotic streets of Hanoi and wake up each morning in a verdant park, with clean streets and fresh air, without sacrificing the proximity to the city center, convenience of modern services and amenities, or the familiarity of cultural traditions.

With nearly 500 hectares, Ecopark is an entirely self-sustaining city: a place for over 100,000 residents to work, play and raise their families. It provides an ideal mix of residential areas to accommodate families with different needs and preferences, from quiet gated communities, to towering high-rise condominiums with panoramic views of the countryside. All of these communities will be seamlessly integrated with scenic open

space and connected by a network of aesthetically pleasing parks and pedestrian thoroughfares so that residents and visitors may safely and comfortably move about their city. of Ecopark enables it to simultaneously develop into a hub for both tourism and commerce. A multitude of destinations in the surrounding region provide the critical mass to support a boom in cultural and eco-tourism in and around the city. Advanced industry in the evolving commercial district will generate thousands of high-value jobs and create an anchor for the community in the heart of the rapidly developing Hung Yen flexible master plan will enable the city to develop to consistently and effectively meet the demands of the future.

100-meter wide interprovincial highway, will funnel all of this activity directly through the heart of Ecopark, truly positioning the city as a multi-functional gateway.

Within the communities, residents will benefit from quality education for all ages, state-of-the-art medical facilities, planning will not only add significant value to their homes, but will also enhance their well-being. With this population comprising a productive workforce and a strong consumer base, investors will find ample opportunity to add value to their businesses.

Ecopark is committed to providing the highest level of public service to its residents at affordable costs to ensure an community will boast over 110 hectares of “green and blue” space, accounting for more than 22% of the total land area and providing a peaceful, natural environment for families to enjoy. Future residents can already feel the difference, relating the ecological experience of Ecopark to being “immersed in nature.” But with environmental sustainability at the core of development, Ecopark will also be a leader in eco-friendly initiatives, not just a city with safe neighborhoods, clean streets and lush landscaping. Seemingly a world away from Hanoi, yet only a 20 minute drive by car on the interprovincial highway.

Most importantly, Ecopark is culturally relevant, which is critical in a country steeped in rich tradition. While incorporating innovation that will expedite modern development in this region, it will also purposefully maintain a distinctly Vietnamese identity, with the integration of typical Vietnamese, Buddhist and Feng Shui design features in the urban layout and architecture.

Ecopark is different. It serves many purposes and satisfies a variety of needs. In Ecopark we are not just building homes; we are constructing a new standard of living. And we are helping our residents to achieve balance in their lives. As we develop this city together, our firm commitment is to provide residents with a healthier, safer, better way of living, without making any sacrifices.

Building a Wide Variety of Complete & Livable Communities

A healthy and balanced lifestyle breeds productivity. We provide a broad selection of dierent ambiances for our residents, from cosmopolitan living in towering high-rise condos to the luxury of waterfront villas with civic, cultural, and commercial amenities integrated into the communities. Tranquil green spaces provide relaxation and pedestrian mobility.
