HÀ NỘI — FLC Group has expressed its desire to develop a smart urban complex in the centre of northern Thái Bình City, Trịnh Văn Quyết, group’s chairman of the management board, said.

Speaking at a meeting with the provincial People’s Committee and representatives from related agencies and authorities in Hà Nội this week, Quyết said the complex would cover an area of 300-500ha, with an artificial beach, golf course, entertainment park and shopping mall, as well as apartments, townhouses and villas.

Nguyễn Hồng Diên, chairman of the committee, introduced FLC Group’s delegation to the location, geography and other advantages of the area, as well as investment policies in agriculture, service and tourism.

He also talked about the current master plan and land use under the new administrative centre, southern Kiên Giang River, Vũ Thư and Vũ Đông communes.

These locations have a beautiful landscape and convenient traffic connections. They were introduced to FLC Group for consideration and selection for effective investment.

Diên emphasised that Thái Bình has over 5,000 businesses but not many are large enough. To create motivation for local socio-economic development, Thái Bình needed private enterprises with experience and financial prowess such as FLC.

Quyết said early development of such a project would require very strong commitment from local officials, who would need to work hard on land acquisition, administrative procedures and support policies for investors.

This is the second time in two months that FLC Group’s directors have surveyed potential development sites in the province, showing the group’s commitment to turn this plan into reality. — VNS
