Vinhomes, Vietnam's leading real estate developer, is preparing to export its integrated mega-city model to international markets, with projects and development plans in Congo, India, Australia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The move marks a significant shift for a company that has already brought 32 projects and urban developments into operation, serving hundreds of thousands of residents nationwide. As urbanization accelerates globally, Vinhomes' approach—delivering homes alongside commercial, educational, healthcare, transportation, and public infrastructure—addresses a critical gap that plagues many fast-growing cities.
The company's flagship project, Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, was the first project recognized by New7Wonders as an Official Participant in its "7 Wonders of Future Cities" campaign and has since advanced to the global vote. Spanning 2,870 hectares with a construction density of just 16%, the development reserves most of its land for greenery and water, including a natural seawater lagoon of up to 800 hectares and 121 kilometers of shoreline. It sits beside the 75,000-hectare Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO-recognized site. The project stood out across New7Wonders' three pillars: Environment & Nature, Smart City, and Human-Centric Development.
The implications for urban development are substantial. According to the United Nations' World Urbanization Prospects 2025, cities now house 45% of the world's 8.2 billion people, more than double their 20% share in 1950, and are projected to absorb two-thirds of global population growth between now and 2050. The real challenge is not how many homes get built, but whether infrastructure can keep pace. In many fast-growing cities, housing comes first while schools, hospitals, parks, and transit arrive years later, leaving residents with long commutes and scattered services. Vinhomes' model tackles this by creating townships that function as economies in miniature, generating jobs, services, and investment as residents move in.
International market data underscores the value of integration. Zonda's Master Plan Outlook found that U.S. master-planned communities averaged 2.3 home sales per month in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 2.1 for standalone communities; in the entry-level segment below $300,000, the gap widened to 51%. Research by Cushman & Wakefield found that median household incomes in the master-planned communities it studied were 38% higher than in surrounding areas, a profile that helps draw premium retail and services.
What sets Vinhomes apart is its ability to execute at rare scale and speed. After visiting the Can Gio project, New7Wonders Director Jean-Paul de la Fuente observed that few developers anywhere have the capacity to build at such scale and pace while still managing the complexity involved. The human-centric pillar comes to life in a new idea of the second home: the city by morning, the sea by evening. Once the planned Ben Thanh–Can Gio rail line, designed for speeds of up to 350 km/h, is complete, the trip from downtown Ho Chi Minh City to the coast is expected to take about 13 minutes. By road, with the Can Gio Bridge replacing the Binh Khanh ferry and Rung Sac Boulevard widened, the drive should take around 35 minutes.
The project is designed so that every generation finds its own joy in a shared place. Children can paddleboard and swim in the lagoon, cycle along seaside paths, and explore the 122-hectare VinWonders, with 280 attractions and 30 shows a day, while Young Paradise Hub nurtures their talents in technology and the arts. Grandparents can stroll through 370 parks, unwind in thermal mineral waters at Retreat Hub, connect with friends at New Horizon Center, and share their experience at the Wisdom Academy within Vin New Horizon.
As Vinhomes takes its model to international markets, it positions itself as a new kind of "Made in Vietnam" export. For more information, visit https://vinhomes.vn/en.
