On October 25, KCN Vietnam Group, a professional industrial property developer in Vietnam, broke ground on the first phase of its high-quality ready-built warehouse project in Nhon Trach VI Industrial Park - Zone D, Dong Nai Province. The project spans a total area of 14.5 hectares, offering over 97,000 sq.m of leasable space. Phase 1 will provide more than 44,000 sqm of leasable area and is expected to be completed by Q2 2025.

KCN Vietnam Group’s newest footprint in Dong Nai is designed to meet LEED Gold standards, aligning with the growing demand from global investors for sustainable buildings. This initiative is expected to promote logistics development and enhance the appeal of the Southeastern region, especially Dong Nai Province, as a destination for foreign investors.

The Southeastern region is Vietnam’s largest hub for industry, logistics, playing a key role in the national supply chain - handling nearly 50% of the country's total cargo and over 60% of container throughput at Vietnamese ports. In the first half of 2024, the region's export value reached $115.7 billion, accounting for 31% of Vietnam's total export-import turnover.

Due to its strategic location and key industrial zones, Dong Nai is a pioneer in both regional and national logistics development. By 2030, the province aims for annual growth of 30 – 35% in the logistics sector, contributing 20 – 25% to the service sector's GDP. Investment in logistics and warehouse infrastructure in Dong Nai and the Southeastern region not only meets market demand but also leverages regional strengths, generating significant socio-economic benefits.

Phase 1 of the KCN Nhon Trach 6D project is set for completion by Q2 2025. This project aligns with the rising demand for sustainable buildings from global investors, reinforcing the Southeastern region, especially Dong Nai Province, as a premier destination for FDI.

With the strategic location, KCN Vietnam Group’s new project offers seamless access to the country’s major transportation routes and enables businesses to easily access key infrastructure, including Long Thanh International Airport (within a 10 km radius) and the international seaports of Cat Lai and Cai Mep (within a 20 km radius).

In addition, KCN Vietnam's new ready-built warehouse project is designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, adhering to high sustainability standards. This is a crucial consideration for many businesses and investors when evaluating industrial property projects. According to the US Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED-certified buildings not only reduce emissions and lower energy costs but also provide significant advantages in enhancing corporate reputation, strengthening brand image, and boosting competitiveness within the global supply chain.

Mr. Nguyen Tri Phuong, Head of Dong Nai Industrial Parks Management Board, said: “Dong Nai Industrial Zones Management Board welcomes the Group's efforts and serious investment in developing modern industrial infrastructure, particularly projects aimed at fostering green industrial development within the province. We believe this project will further enhance Dong Nai's competitive capacity, facilitate the growth of the logistics sector, attract FDI, and encourage the presence of international businesses in the area.”
