A historic moment that changed the whole land
On December 19, Long Thanh airport marked an important milestone when receiving the first three flights, after the technical flight to test a safe landing on the afternoon of December 15.
According to the plan, Long Thanh airport phase 1 will be put into commercial operation from the beginning of 2026 with a capacity of 25 million passengers/year, then increased to 100 million passengers/year when all stages are completed. A newly formed international "super gateway" has put Vietnam on the regional and global air transit map.
In reality, in any country where international airports appear, new growth poles will be formed. Changi Airport has made sent sentosa a top-notch symbol of Singapore; Incheon Airport reshaped the Western Seoul Economic Ring Road; Dubai International Airport is the launching pad for Palm Jumeirah to rise to a global real estate and tourism "wunderstanding". Long Thanh is expected to repeat that successful formula in Vietnam, but with a larger scale and room.
Located about 45 minutes away from Long Thanh airport, Vinhomes Green Paradise has a rare advantage: the ability to directly access international visitors without having to transit through the center of Ho Chi Minh City. For the global elite, the factor of "going straight, coming quickly, experiencing right away" is the new standard for high-end destinations.
This advantage is further enhanced when a series of strategic infrastructure projects are simultaneously deployed. The Ben Thanh - Can Gio high-speed railway line broke ground on December 19, expected to be exploited from the fourth quarter of 2028, along with the Vung Tau - Can Gio sea route expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2029, creating a rare multidimensional connection network between international airports, the center of Ho Chi Minh City and the southern sea area.
According to forecast scenarios, when the entire infrastructure system is put into operation, Vinhomes Green Paradise can welcome up to 40 million visitors per year - a sufficient number to activate the tourism, service and trade ecosystem to operate continuously all year round.
urban wonders conquer international elite
Vinhomes Green Paradise is positioned as the world's leading green - smart - ecological - sustainable ESG++ super urban area. The construction density is only 16%, with unique forest-like terrain and sea-like direction, helping the temperature here to always be 2-3 degrees Celsius lower than the inner city. This is a factor that is increasingly valued by the global upper class in the context of climate change and rapid urbanization.
Amidst fresh nature, Vinhomes Green Paradise attracts global elite with its rare collection of luxury utilities. The iconic highlight is the 7-hectare Song Xanh Theater created by Gensler - the world's leading design group. The two theaters with a total capacity of 5,000 seats, inspired by Can Gio waves, are expected to become the "Vietnamese version of Syney Opera House", a place where international top-notch art and Vietnamese cultural identity intersect.
In addition, there are two 18-hole golf courses designed by the legend Tiger Woods and Robert Trent Jones - the "signeers" of global class. Here, sports, art and nature blend into each experience.
In the center of the super urban area, the Lagoon Lake, over 800 hectares wide, offers a 365-day holiday/year with blue sea, white sand, golden sunshine, water sports activities and resort-standard relaxation space, considered "Maldives in the heart of the city".
In particular, the 122-hectare VinWonders complex with about 200 games - the largest among theme parks in the world - and the 68m highest snow mountain in the world, makes Vinhomes Green Paradise on par with leading entertainment capitals such as Tokyo, Singapore or Hong Kong, becoming a must-see destination on the global tourism map.
The huge number of visitors that Vinhomes Green Paradise will welcome in the future will create great demand for 5-star accommodation, F&B, retail, entertainment, wellness, sea sports... opening up room for sustainable growth for commercial centers and the business ecosystem. High exploitation capacity, stable cash flow and continuous return of customers are the "sweet fruits" that investors are looking for.
At the same time, the elite generation - from the upper class who own a second home, international experts to successful people pursuing a green lifestyle, living well, living richly - will create a sustainable foundation for the luxury real estate market.
According to Dr. Le Xuan Sang, Deputy Director of the Vietnam and the World Economic Institute, in the next 10 - 20 years, fully-cycle ESG++ metropolises such as Vinhomes Green Paradise may account for less than 1% of global supply. Exceedingly scarce supply, while demand from the middle and upper class is growing, makes ESG+ a blue-chip asset group, with high value and good defense in all economic cycles, he said.
Long Thanh airport is in the "sprint" phase. When the first international flights land, the global flow of tourism, trade and investment will spread strongly, bringing Vinhomes Green Paradise into a new growth cycle. From a "forgotten" coastal area, Can Gio is facing the opportunity to transform into a breakthrough growth pole of the Southern economic locomotive - a gathering place for cash flow, people and vision of investors ahead of the times.
