Reshaping Vietnam’s Urban Landscape: The Success of CLD
The urban landscape of Vietnam is evolving rapidly, and at the forefront of this transformation is CLD, a property development powerhouse recognized for its commitment to design excellence, sustainability, and community impact. Recent accolades have underscored CLD’s significant role in shaping this dynamic environment. With awards spanning various categories, the company continues to assert its influence in Vietnam’s real estate sector.
A Testament to Sustainable Development
Among the standout honors awarded to CLD were the Best Sustainable Developer title, a prestigious inaugural People’s Choice Award, and the Social Impact Award. These recognitions reflect a consistent focus on creating long-term environmental and social value. Throughout its projects, CLD prioritizes sustainability, ensuring that its developments resonate positively with both the environment and the communities they inhabit.
Award-Winning Developments: Orchard Mansion and Beyond
Highlighting CLD’s commitment to quality, the Orchard Mansion at Sycamore in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), co-developed with United Overseas Australia (UOA), clinched the Best Housing Development title in Vietnam. The accolades continued with other phases of Sycamore and The Fullton in Hung Yen Province, which also received top honors. These achievements showcase CLD’s integrated approach to sustainable urban transformation, signaling a forward-thinking attitude that embraces innovative design and community-focused living.
According to Tan Wee Hsien, CEO of CLD Vietnam and International, these awards reaffirm the company’s dedication to design excellence and timely project delivery. He stated, “As we strengthen CLD’s footprint in Vietnam with a target of 30,000 quality residential units by 2029, we remain committed to shaping sustainable spaces and thriving communities.”
A Remarkable Performance in Development
This year, CLD celebrated an exceptional performance with the timely handover of The Orchard in the Sycamore master development, recognized as the Best Completed Housing Development. This timely execution reflects CLD’s operational efficiency and strong market presence. Following this successful phase, subsequent phases—Orchard Heights and Orchard Grand—achieved full bookings shortly after launch, indicating robust consumer confidence and demand in the real estate market.
Orchard Grand, noted for its innovative architecture and premium amenities, received recognition as the Best High-End Condo Development (Greater HCMC). This award emphasizes the developer’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of modern urban homeowners.
Blending Luxury with Community Needs
On the low-rise front, Orchard Mansion stood out as the Best Housing Development in both Greater HCMC and Vietnam, masterfully blending modern architecture with lush green spaces. This design ethos promotes wellness and community connections, essential in nurturing vibrant neighborhoods. Additionally, The Fullton, a luxury low-rise development in Hung Yen, captured three major awards: Best Luxury Housing Development, Best Luxury Housing Architectural Design, and Best Luxury Housing Landscape Design. This highlights CLD’s versatility in catering to a diverse range of housing needs.
Prioritizing Sustainability and Social Responsibility
CLD’s repeated recognition as Best Sustainable Developer for the fourth consecutive year, alongside the Social Impact Award, underscores the company’s commitment to responsible development practices. To date, 14 projects by CLD in Vietnam have successfully achieved international green certifications, such as BCA Green Mark, EDGE, LEED, and WELL. These certifications reflect a strategic commitment to environmental stewardship that has gained recognition both locally and internationally.
Beyond development, CLD has made meaningful contributions to society through the CapitaLand Hope Foundation, the philanthropic arm of CapitaLand Group. Since its inception in 2007, the foundation has supported over 19,000 children and youth through educational programs, community initiatives, and school refurbishments. This philanthropic effort underscores the company’s holistic approach to development—a blend of economic success and social well-being.
Gaining Trust and Recognition
The People’s Choice Award, determined by public vote, further solidifies CLD’s reputation as one of Vietnam’s most trusted and admired real estate developers. This award exemplifies a balance of business success with a commitment to sustainable practices and social progress.
As Vietnam’s urban landscape continues to evolve, the legacy and ongoing initiatives of CLD will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping a more sustainable and community-focused future.
