Overview of Vinhomes Ocean Park Project

Vinhomes Ocean Park Gia Lam is a large-scale mega urban area that affirms the leading position of Vingroup. With a total area of 420 hectares, the project offers a green, fresh living environment surrounded by 117 hectares of greenery and water surface. The development includes 66 apartment towers ranging from 23 to 26 floors and approximately 2,300 villas and shophouses. The most prominent highlight is Vietnam’s first artificial saltwater lagoon of 6.1 hectares and a central lake of 24.5 hectares, creating a unique “Ocean City.”

The overall construction density is only 19%, maximizing space for landscape development and public amenities. The project has been granted a long-term ownership red book, ensuring strong legal security for residents.

Strategic Location and Transportation Connectivity

Vinhomes Ocean Park is located in Dương Xá, Đa Tốn, Kiêu Kỵ communes and Trâu Quỳ town, Gia Lâm District, Hanoi. This is a strategic location considered the center of Gia Lâm District. Although not in the traditional inner city, the area has a highly convenient transportation system, allowing residents to easily travel to the city center.

The project is close to major routes such as Ngọc Lâm, Xuân Quan, and Nguyễn Văn Cừ, enabling quick access to the inner city. Its boundaries are clearly defined:

• Northeast: Adjacent to a planned 40m-wide road.
• Southeast: Adjacent to existing residential area of Kiêu Kỵ commune.
• Northwest: Adjacent to a planned national road 40m wide (Đông Dư - Dương Xá route).

With surrounding arterial roads, residents can easily access all nearby areas, creating strong advantages for trade and daily commuting.
