Phu My Hung Urban Area Planning Receives an International Award in the US

Phú Mỹ Hưng Township masterplan receives an international award in the United States

The remarkable growth of modern townships is not limited to the scale of construction; it also lies in the value of sustainable living and recognition from the international community. Recently, the overall masterplan of Phú Mỹ Hưng Township (formerly South Saigon Township) once again affirmed its leading position when it was honoured with a prestigious award from the United States, evidence of a living space of distinction and among the most worthwhile investments in Vietnam.

Recognition from the world’s most exacting standards

At the end of October 2012, in Denver, Colorado (USA), the Urban Land Institute (ULI) held the Global Awards for the Excellence ceremony. At this event, the master plan of Phú Mỹ Hưng outstandingly surpassed many candidates to stand alongside 13 other exemplary projects from around the world.

To win this award, Phú Mỹ Hưng fully met the stringent criteria set by the ULI panel of experts, including:

• Unique architectural design with a breakthrough concept.
• The ability to protect the environment and respond to the needs of society.
• Positive and humane contributions to the resident community.

A strategic vision of a prosperous community

The ULI jury remarked that Phú Mỹ Hưng is the foundation for comprehensive and synchronised urbanisation. This is not merely an ordinary property project, but the fruit of strategic cooperation between the State and business, creating a powerful lever for large-scale urban development.

The success of the project confirms a sound business strategy, aimed at building a high-quality and sustainable life. It is an ideal meeting place for the dynamic young Vietnamese generation as well as international businesspeople seeking a standard, safe and modern living environment.

Assurance from history and reputable organisations

The recognition in the USA in 2012 was the fourth international award that Phú Mỹ Hưng had received since 1995. The distinguished awards this urban area has held include:

• Award from the US Progressive Architecture Magazine (1995).
• Award from the American Institute of Architects (1997).
• MIPIM Silver 2011 in Hong Kong for “Best Residential Development”.
• Global Awards for Excellence (2012) from ULI.

Being honoured by ULI – a reputable non-profit organisation established in 1936 with more than 30,000 experts and leading researchers – is the strongest affirmation of property values here. Owning a home in Phú Mỹ Hưng is not only about owning an asset, but about owning a ticket to join an elite resident community recognised around the world.

Continuing the spirit of modern and sustainable urban development, the eco-urban trend is spreading strongly to the north with the project Hồng Hạc City. Located in Xuan Lam Commune, Thuan Thanh, Bac Ninh (now part of Song Lieu Ward, Bac Ninh). Hồng Hạc City is planned with a vision to become a model “green urban area”, offering a living space in harmony between nature and modern amenities. With a strategic location adjacent to Hanoi, it promises to be an ideal investment and settlement destination for those seeking tranquillity without being detached from the vibrant urban rhythm.
