HÀ NỘI — State-owned glass and construction ceramic corporation Viglacera started constructing a complex of apartment blocks for workers at Đồng Văn 4 industrial park in Hà Nam Province on Friday.

The project is spread over 16.69 hectares (ha) and can accommodate over 9,100 people.

It includes social housing units for sale or rent, a public service centre, a kindergarten, a clinic and green space.
