Cooperated with international partners
According to sharings from the investor, in the early 2000s, after many research trips around the world, Nam Long noticed the common trend of developing countries was establishment of Satellite Cities, which were located in the close proximity of megacities, reducing the overcrowding pressure for these cities. Ever since, the idea for a satellite township of Ho Chi Minh City on the Vam Co Dong riverside was ignited.

The properties layout was also designed from lower (the river) to higher ground.
