Thank you for your interest in CapitaLand Vietnam. We understand that investing in overseas
property requires basic understanding of the local real estate environment. As our service to
you, we have prepared this Foreign Investor Guide to summarize key information to help you
make a more informed decision before your purchase of Vietnam property.
Since Vietnam opened its doors to foreign property ownership in July 2015, CapitaLand has
seen positive response from foreign investors, having sold more than 120 apartments at inter-
national launches of its Vietnam projects to date.
With a reliable track record of 22 years in Vietnam and a portfolio of close to 7,850 quality
homes across eight residential projects in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, CapitaLand is commit-
ted to being a long term real estate developer in Vietnam. With CapitaLand’s strong balance
sheet and financial flexibility, we are well-positioned to ride on the potentially strong growth of
the residential market in Vietnam.
I sincerely hope that CapitaLand Vietnam will be your developer of choice for your overseas
property purchase, and look forward to welcoming you as a valued customer of CapitaLand.
Yours Sincerely,
