Developments: 5. In early July 2026 Vinhomes‑partnered Sol Garden opened in Hai Phong’s new administrative centre. The 3‑hectare site offers European‑style villas, townhouses and shophouses within minutes of an international school, a shopping complex and the Thủy Nguyên civic hub. Designed by Lascal, it integrates high‑density housing with a green park and ecological canal to improve ventilation, daylight and outdoor workspaces, which the developer says can boost concentration by up to 15 %. Later that month Vinhomes announced the Global Gate Ha Long megacity, a 6,200‑hectare waterfront development on Ha Long Bay along the Hanoi‑Hai Phong‑Quang Ninh corridor and adjacent to the planned Hanoi‑Quang Ninh high‑speed railway. Over 2,500 hectares are earmarked for forests, waterways and natural areas, targeting a 23‑minute commute to Hanoi and an integrated urban ecosystem. On 24 July the company expanded its ESG++ agenda with two nature‑positive megaprojects covering more than 9,000 hectares: Green Paradise on the Cần Giờ coast (2,870 ha, 16 % construction density, an 800‑ha seawater lagoon and a 121‑km shoreline) and the Global Gate Ha Long development, both adopting a regenerative, smart‑governance model. In early August the World Council on City Data granted Green Paradise an interim ISO 37122 Smart City certification—the first such recognition for a Vietnamese mega‑urban development—citing progress in data‑driven design, climate resilience and integrated services. WCCD President Patricia McCarney highlighted Vinhomes’ long‑term vision. The same announcement reiterated Global Gate’s master plan, emphasizing high value per hectare, climate‑ready infrastructure and direct connectivity to the future high‑speed railway depot. By late August, Green Paradise was recognized as the first greenfield project globally to receive the Interim Custom ISO 37122 Smart City Certification. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-26: Vinhomes Green Paradise achieves first global ISO smart city certification Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio has become the first greenfield project worldwide to receive the Interim Custom ISO 37122 Smart City Certification. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vinhomes-green-paradise-achieves-first-global-iso-smart-city-certification ### 2026-08-04: Vinhomes launches Vietnam’s first ISO‑37122 smart‑city certified project and a 6,200‑hectare Ha Long Bay development Vinhomes’ Green Paradise in Can Gio earned interim ISO 37122 smart‑city certification, while its Global Gate Ha Long plan details a 6,200‑hectare integrated city near Ha Long Bay with high‑speed rail access. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vinhomes-launches-vietnams-first-iso37122-smartcity-certified-project-and-a-6200hectare-ha-long-bay- ### 2026-07-24: Vinhomes launches two ESG++ mega-projects spanning 9,000 hectares in Vietnam Vinhomes announced two ESG++ mega‑projects—Green Paradise in Ho Chi Minh City (2,870 ha) and Global Gate Ha Long in Quang Ninh (6,200 ha)—totaling over 9,000 ha, focusing on nature regeneration, smart urban治理,和 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vinhomes-launches-two-esg-mega-projects-spanning-9000-hectares-in-vietnam ### 2026-07-22: Vinhomes launches Global Gate Ha Long megacity project in Vietnam Vinhomes unveils the Global Gate Ha Long megacity, a 6,200‑hectare integrated development on Ha Long Bay, leveraging its 295 million m² land bank to create a new urban hub linked to a future high‑speed rail. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vinhomes-launches-global-gate-ha-long-megacity-project-in-vietnam ### 2026-07-09: Sol Garden luxury residential project launches in Hai Phong, Vietnam Sol Garden, a European‑styled residential complex in Hai Phong, Vietnam, opens with villas, townhouses and shophouses, promising short commutes, extensive green space, and work‑life integration. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hai-phongs-sol-garden-real-estate-project --- Cite as: Vietnam upscale residential megaprojects.
