Vinhomes: A Case Study in Asian Real Estate Adaptability

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 August 2024 – While Asian real estate has weathered rough tides, it remains a magnet for investors seeking stability. This “filtering” period has seen weaker players fade, leaving established firms with robust finances, innovative approaches, and top-tier offerings to thrive.

Asia’s once-booming real estate market, propelled by voracious appetite and low interest rates, is now confronting a more challenging reality. The era of double-digit growth has faded amid tightening property regulations and a global rise in borrowing costs.
Yet, to write off Asia’s real estate sector entirely would be to overlook a fundamental truth: property ownership is deeply ingrained in the region’s cultural fabric. For generations, across diverse Asian societies, real estate has held a unique appeal. It remains a cornerstone of personal wealth and a hedge against uncertain economic times. Even with the current headwinds, the underlying cultural reverence for property ownership is unlikely to wane.
Vinhomes: A Beacon in Vietnam’s Real Estate Industry
In Vietnam, a nation of 90 million experiencing rapid urbanization, a deep-seated belief persists: real estate is a haven for savings. Yet, the industry’s recent struggles have left some developers teetering, raising questions about its future. But instead of pronouncements of doom, a closer look suggests a market sifting, separating the sustainable from the vulnerable.
Vinhomes stands as a prime example of this shift. As the nation’s premier investment, trading, and management firm in the sector, Vinhomes has redefined the industry through its scale, speed of development, and excellent service. The company is at the vanguard of sustainable growth in Vietnam’s real estate market, setting new industry benchmarks.
Vinhomes was launched in 2013, marking a turning point in Vietnam’s real estate landscape. The company has since pioneered a series of innovative architectural and urban “all-in-one” projects that have redefined luxury living in the country. The developer’s signature “Vin” ecosystem, encompassing healthcare, education, shopping, and entertainment, is integrated into the developments.
As a key subsidiary of Vingroup, Vinhomes has solidified its position as Vietnam’s leading real estate brand and a top regional player. Vinhomes’ developments offer residents a unique blend of modern amenities, sustainable living, and world-class design.
With a portfolio of 29 projects spanning eight provinces and cities, Vinhomes has set new standards for urban living. Iconic developments such as Ocean City and Vinhomes Royal Island have earned international recognition for their exceptional design and amenities.
Vinhomes’ commitment to excellence has been validated by numerous global awards, further solidifying its reputation as a world-class developer.
Enduring and Adapting: The Keys to Developer Success in a Changing Market
In Vietnam’s real estate market, today’s success story will likely be written by companies catering to specific demographics, like the growing middle class seeking modern apartments; or young people who are aiming for a life in cleaner, healthier all-in-one complexes.
For example, Vinhomes unveiled its groundbreaking vision for Ocean City, a 1,200-hectare mega-complex envisioned as a Wellness City designed to revolutionize urban living. Marking a first in the healing industry, the unique wellness ecosystem within Ocean City prioritizes residents’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being alongside residential spaces, luxury amenities, and connectivity.
Poised to become Vinhomes’ largest investment project within a decade, Ocean City is envisioned as the best place to live on Earth, reshaping residents’ lifestyle.
Beyond the traditional urban landscape, the complex rises as a vision for the future of city living. Sprawling parklands and glimmering artificial lakes provide respite, while a vibrant tapestry of amenities unfolds: movie theaters host cinematic escapes, mega malls offer retail therapy, and bustling shophouses showcase local flavor.
Underpinning this dynamic scene is a commitment to well-being: a state-of-the-art hospital, currently under construction, stands ready to serve the community, while a comprehensive educational system, encompassing kindergarten through university, nurtures young minds. Ocean City seeks to cultivate a foundation for healthy, fulfilling lives in an ever-evolving world.
Recently, Vinhomes has launched Vinhomes Royal Island, an 877-hectare project inspired by the world’s most exclusive island retreats. The development promises a living experience blending luxury, nature, and modern amenities. On-site amenities include a network of 31 parks, swimming pools, and sports facilities.
Further strengthening the potential of Vinhomes real estate projects in particular and across Vietnam in general, the recently amended Land Law in Vietnam, effective August 1, 2024, has introduced significant changes that could reshape the country’s real estate landscape. A key provision expands property rights for overseas Vietnamese.
The law grants land use rights to Vietnamese citizens living abroad, as well as to those of Vietnamese origin. This means they can now own property or lease land in Vietnam, a right previously restricted to domestic residents.
Besides, overseas Vietnamese can now invest in various aspects of real estate projects. This opens up significant investment opportunities for overseas Vietnamese and is expected to attract international interest.

Proposing New Food Lifestyles*1 Ajinomoto Co. Launches New Brand Atlr.72™ (Atelier Seven Two) to Start a Green Food Business from Singapore
Sales of Sweets using Air-based Protein Solein®*2 to Begin from August 2024
TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 August 2024 – Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (“Ajinomoto Co.”) will embark on a new food business starting from Singapore, with the launch of the new brand Atlr.72™ (Atelier Seven Two) proposing new food lifestyles that incorporate the blessings and beauty of nature in everyday eating occasions while actively utilizing environmentally-conscious ingredients (plant-based, cell-based, microbial-based, etc.) through its Green Food business. The first phase of the launch will be a limited-period sale of mooncakes using the air-based protein Solein® at Takashimaya in Singapore from Monday, August 12, 2024.

The concept of Atlr.72™ is based on the 72 microseasons*3 of the traditional Japanese calendar. In ancient times, people sensed the subtle changing of the seasons from the appearance of birds, insects, plants, and the weather, which provided them with daily pleasures. By incorporating the blessings and beauty of nature that introduce more color to our lives to develop environmentally conscious products based on this brand, Ajinomoto Co. aims to propose new food lifestyles that nurture the deep reverence for nature among today’s consumers. In the hope of building stronger bonds between people and nature for the sake of their loved ones and the generations of tomorrow, the company will disseminate information through SNS, etc. together with product development, targeting couples in their 30s to 40s bringing up children, and people of Generation Z who are deeply concerned about environmental issues and have the ability to communicate effectively.
*3 The year was divided into four seasons, 24 solar terms, and 72 microseasons. The distinctive feature of the 72 microseasons is that they constitute a calendar that highlights detailed changes in nature, expressing the seasons through the appearance of natural phenomena such as birds, flowers, and the weather.
The first two products to be sold under this brand are “Atlr.72™ Flowering Mooncake” and “Atlr.72™ Ice Cream Sandwich”, for which pop-up stores will be opened at two of the largest commercial facilities in Singapore (Takashimaya from August 12 and One Holland Village from August 30.) Solein® are used as an ingredient for both products.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, September 17 this year, is a time to cherish the beautiful moon with family or someone special and give mooncakes to each other to wish their happiness. Ajinomoto Co. sees this occasion to be the perfect time to launch the brand, in hope that the gift that is environmentally conscious will express the senders’ feelings more strongly and create a bond with the receivers. “Atlr.72™ Flowering Mooncake” are cookie sandwich-style mooncakes made with guimauve*4 in four autumnal flavors (Japanese Yuzu, Kyoto Uji Matcha, Raspberry, and Blackcurrant) sandwiched in cookies decorated with gorgeous Peranakan*5 patterns. To enrich the taste of the cookies, Solein® is used as a partial butter substitute. For the guimauve, agar is used instead of animal gelatin, beet sugar containing minerals and oligosaccharides is used to keep white sugar to a minimum, and a small amount of Okinawan Sea salt is added to bring out the sweetness of the ingredients. In these ways, under the recipe supervision of a well-known Japanese patissier, the product was developed taking account not only of deliciousness but also of health and the global environment.
“Atlr.72™ Ice Cream Sandwich” is a sweet sandwiched vanilla ice cream with Solein® and mochi (rice cake) between cookies colorfully decorated with Peranakan patterns.
*4 A French sweet very similar to marshmallow made without egg whites from a puree of fruits, etc.
*5 A unique culture arising from intermarriage between local people and the descendants of Chinese immigrants who came to Malaysia and Singapore over several centuries from the second half of the 15th century, leading to the gradual emergence of styles that integrated Chinese and Malay cultures, and even incorporated Western cultures through Singapore’s history as a key hub between East and West. The vibrant and bright colors are a distinctive feature of Peranakan buildings and crafts.
Through this limited-period sale, we will verify the hypothesis that we can offer a “new food lifestyle” to a wider range of consumers by using raw materials and ingredients that are healthful and environmentally conscious for products that place the highest priority on good taste, good appearance, and affordability.
After the expiry of the limited sale period, based on investigation of acceptance of the brand concept, the category will be expanded in stages from the comparatively easily accepted sweets to other everyday foods. To establish the new food lifestyles proposed by this brand, Ajinomoto Co. will continue to develop and verify the optimal sales channels. As part of this process, the development of directly managed stores will be promoted and the business model created in Singapore will be deployed in other countries and regions.
