on

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 October 2025 – Proud Real Estate Public Company Limited (PROUD) announces the launch of The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort, a prestigious development with an investment exceeding THB 2.5 billion (around $77 million USD). This is the company’s second Branded Residences project in Thailand under the globally renowned InterContinental brand, introducing a transformative concept of residential living themed ‘Live Beyond Boundaries in Paradise’ on the coveted beachfront of Kamala Beach, Phuket. Residents will enjoy a seamless lifestyle integrated with the InterContinental Phuket Resort, backed by a Two Michelin Keys award. The ultra-exclusive development comprises only 111 units, offering exclusive privileges and full access to premium amenities in Phuket’s premier ‘Millionaire’s Mile’ location.

The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort

For over 20 years, IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) and PROUD’s management team have fostered a strong partnership, delivering successful hotel developments and residential projects under various global brands. PROUD’s first InterContinental branded residences, the InterContinental Residences Hua Hin, achieved remarkable market success and set a new benchmark for luxury living in the region, contributing to the increase in average property prices in Hua Hin.

PROUD continue this success with the launch of The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort — a prestigious development with an investment exceeding THB 2.5 billion (around $77 million USD) that redefines luxury living on Kamala Beach, Phuket. The development is completed with services from InterContinental Phuket Resort, the only InterContinental property in the world to receive the prestigious Two Michelin Keys award.

Mr. Pasu Liptapanlop, Director of PROUD, said “Drawing upon our extensive experience and proven success in developing world-class luxury real estate projects across Bangkok and Hua Hin, PROUD is now ready to expand our residential development into Phuket province, a world-class destination regarded as one of Asia’s most highly sought-after luxury real estate city.”

Nestled within this ‘Hidden Gem’ of the island, residents enjoy serene surroundings alongside convenient access to essential lifestyle amenities.”

The project features architectural design inspired by the concept of a “Far East Paradise”, conveying heavenly beauty that creates a unified narrative from the adjacent resort to its new residential development. This is achieved through artful incorporation of distinctive Sino-European and Peranakan cultural influences throughout its design. The residences offer spacious layouts with generously sized balconies, available in configurations ranging from 58-square-metre one-bedroom units to expansive 425-square-metre five-bedroom penthouses. Each unit is delivered fully furnished with premium furniture, with prices starting at 15 million baht.

Common areas feature advanced technologies such as Hydro Massage, Aqua Symphony, and Technogym Fitness. The design seamlessly integrates nature, allowing residents to experience it from every area. This is complemented by sustainability elements including solar panel installations and waste and water management systems. It is also preparing for global Fitwel Certification an accreditation for buildings that promote occupant wellness, a key philosophy that sets PROUD’s residential developments apart.

Residents can also enjoy access to a range of services and facilities, including 24/7 concierge support, as well as resident-only pools, entertainment, and function spaces. Additionally, they benefit from easy access to the Micheline recognised restaurants, spa, and yacht services available through the adjacent InterContinental Phuket Resort.

Not only will the development of luxury hotel services and the emergence of The Residences at InterContinental Phuket Resort perfectly reflect the area’s transformation into the ‘Millionaire Mile’, but there are also many sustainable development plans for the surrounding Kamala area from both government and private sectors that will enhance convenience and completeness whilst maintaining the charm and exclusivity that keeps Kamala Beach luxurious and desirable forever.”

Vinhomes advances urban development platform amid global shift toward nature-positive investment

Published

on

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 August 2026 – As global institutional capital increasingly redefines value creation in real estate, Vinhomes, Vietnam’s largest listed real estate developer by market capitalization, is emerging as a credible long-term urban development platform.

An aerial perspective of Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, illustrating the integration of modern urban infrastructure with active ecological restoration to foster long-term environmental resilience.

With a land bank exceeding 295 million square meters, nearly 650,000 residents across its integrated townships, and record equivalent revenue of VND183.1 trillion (US$6.94 billion) in 2025, the company has demonstrated its capacity to plan, finance, deliver and operate large-scale cities with remarkable consistency.

For more than two millennia, humanity has celebrated its greatest achievements through the idea of “wonders,” from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World to the New7Wonders of Nature, which in 2011 recognized sites such as the Amazon Rainforest and Vietnam’s own Ha Long Bay for their untouched natural beauty.

Today, a fourth wave is emerging: one defined not by human creations set apart from nature, nor by landscapes left untouched, but by developments where urbanization actively enhances natural ecosystems. This philosophy, combined with Vinhomes’ operational scale, has positioned the company at the forefront of that shift, offering global institutional investors a proven model that is gaining recognition across Asia.

Nature-Positive Development Defines Vinhomes’ Urban Philosophy

At the core of Vinhomes’ approach is a fundamental departure from traditional real estate development; the company approaches urban development as an integrated process of environmental enhancement, infrastructure creation and community building.

This philosophy is evident across several landmark projects. At Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, built on reclaimed coastal land, modern infrastructure coexists with active ecological restoration, creating new living environments while supporting long-term environmental resilience.

At Vinhomes Global Gate Ha Long, the urban masterplan has been designed specifically to complement the UNESCO-recognized Ha Long Bay, one of the world’s most celebrated natural wonders, creating a space where urban life and natural heritage mutually enrich one another.

For institutional investors, this nature-positive orientation reflects a broader strategic shift. Long-term capital is increasingly flowing toward developers capable of creating urban ecosystems that generate value over decades, not merely delivering projects on a transactional basis. Vinhomes’ ability to embed sustainability, ecological regeneration and climate resilience into its masterplans aligns with the evolving expectations of global asset owners seeking both financial returns and environmental impact.

Proven Execution And Operational Scale Build Investor Confidence

In real estate, vision carries little weight without the ability to execute. This is where Vinhomes has established one of its strongest competitive advantages. While many developers concentrate their portfolios within a limited number of cities or regions, Vinhomes has successfully replicated its large-scale urban development model across Vietnam, delivering integrated townships from north to south while maintaining consistent quality, execution speed and operational standards.

The company’s 2025 performance underscores this capability. By year-end, Vinhomes had delivered more than 34,000 apartments, villas and shophouses, achieving record equivalent revenue of VND183.1 trillion (US$6.94 billion), a 29% year-on-year increase that exceeded its annual target. Net profit reached VND43.3 trillion (US$1.6 billion), up 24%, while sales bookings nearly doubled to VND205.3 trillion (US$7.9 billion). Unrecognized contracted sales of VND186.4 trillion (US$7.1 billion) provide exceptional revenue visibility for the years ahead.

Beyond financial metrics, Vinhomes’ operational scale is evidenced by nearly 650,000 residents now living across its developments nationwide, forming one of Southeast Asia’s largest integrated residential communities. This scale demonstrates not only the company’s ability to build projects but also its capacity to create functioning urban ecosystems capable of sustaining long-term economic and social activity.

The company’s land bank, exceeding 295 million square meters as of December 31, 2025, represents Vietnam’s largest and is strategically positioned across major metropolitan areas and regions benefiting from accelerating urbanization, industrial development and tourism growth. This extensive reserve provides a substantial pipeline for future development while supporting sustainable long-term growth.

Vinhomes’ operational excellence is further validated by internationally recognized certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and SA8000, reflecting global standards in quality management, environmental performance, occupational health and safety, and social responsibility. The company’s market position, Vietnam’s largest listed real estate company by market capitalization at approximately US$19.4 billion, and the country’s second-largest listed enterprise overall, reinforces its institutional credibility. Its brand, valued at an estimated US$1.6 billion by Brand Finance, ranks among Vietnam’s Top 10 Most Valuable Brands.

For international investors, these indicators point to something larger than financial success alone. They reflect a company that has evolved beyond traditional real estate development into a trusted urban development platform, one capable of planning, financing, delivering and operating large-scale cities with remarkable consistency.

If the first three waves of human wonders celebrated extraordinary achievements of engineering or nature, the emerging fourth wave may well be defined by developments that elevate nature itself, creating places where environmental restoration, economic growth and human prosperity reinforce one another.

That vision demands proven execution, long-term thinking and institutional credibility. These qualities explain why an increasing number of global investors are viewing Vinhomes as one of Asia’s most compelling long-term urban development platforms.
