Binh Tan Showcases Ham Kiem II’s Potential to Global and Local Investors

Binh Tan Investment JSC, the developer of the Ham Kiem II Industrial Park, recently hosted a successful conference at the park, drawing the attendance of local leaders along with investors from Japan, India, and various localities across Vietnam, highlighting its appeal.

This gathering served as a vital opportunity to thoroughly showcase the expansive development potential of Ham Kiem II and function as an essential bridge for Japanese companies and other international partners to connect, expand strategic cooperation, and ultimately help increase the occupancy rate of industrial zones throughout the province.

Duong Thi Kieu Anh, vice chairwoman of HZ Group and vice chairwoman of Binh Tan Investment JSC, articulated the long-term vision, stating that Ham Kiem II Industrial Park is strategically oriented to become a fully integrated industrial–logistics hub, designed to serve the sustained, long-term economic growth of the entire region.

She emphasized the profound significance of their work: “Investing in and developing IPs is a challenging yet highly meaningful field. Industry is the foundation of the future, a successful IP will create thousands of jobs, enable businesses to operate with confidence, promote sustainable local development, and help integrate Vietnam more deeply into global value chains.”

Kieu Anh also highlighted the park’s inherent geographical advantages, noting, “In April 2025, when we officially took over Ham Kiem II, we saw here the opportunity for a strategic area to rise and become a new industrial logistics hub, thanks to its seaport, expressways, airport, and North–South railway connectivity.”

Infrastructure Connectivity and Investment Environment Attract Global Interest

The strategic location of the Ham Kiem II Industrial Park, bolstered by significant infrastructure upgrades and strong government support, makes it highly attractive to global investors, particularly those from Japan, seeking reliable and efficient logistics.

Nakayama Yasuhide, former State Minister of Foreign Affairs, former State Minister of Defence, and former State Minister of the Cabinet Office of Japan, expressed high appreciation for the flourishing Vietnam-Japan relationship.

This relationship has evolved significantly over five decades, moving from initial economic and cultural cooperation to today’s Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, founded on deep mutual trust and reliability.

Yasuhide remarked, “This event exemplifies that enduring friendship while creating new opportunities for investment, trade, and industrial cooperation.”

He confirmed the strong interest from Japanese businesses, adding, “At present, many Japanese businesses are seeking opportunities to invest and expand production in Vietnam.”

Nguyen Hong Hai, vice chairman of Lam Dong People’s Committee, elaborated on the province’s strong economic development advantages, especially in coastal areas with exceptionally well-connected transport infrastructure.

He noted the completed 180-km section of the North-South Expressway running through the province, which cuts travel time to Ho Chi Minh City to just 2.5 hours, alongside the fully upgraded National Highway 1A.

Phan Thiet Airport is also expected to begin civilian operations in 2026, further enhancing air freight and passenger travel alongside the existing North-South railway and the planned high-speed railway project.

Vinh Tan International General Port has also commenced operations, significantly facilitating efficient maritime trade for tenants within Ham Kiem II.

Development and Future Vision for Ham Kiem II

The expansive Ham Kiem II Industrial Park, covering over 430 hectares, is not only focused on industrial tenancy but is also committed to holistic community development, including extensive worker housing and social infrastructure, to attract and retain a stable workforce.

The Ham Kiem II Industrial Park spans more than 430 hectares, boasting fully developed technical infrastructure, transparent legal status, and competitive land lease prices, which collectively help investors significantly reduce their initial setup costs.

The project is deeply committed to supporting its workforce; it is currently developing a substantial 31-hectare worker housing project, which will consist of 20 apartment blocks providing 5,550 worker units and 72 commercial houses.

This residential development is complemented by essential social infrastructure facilities, including three kindergartens, a primary school, a secondary school, a general clinic, a cultural house, and extensive sports grounds, all designed to help experts, workers, and employees build stable and comfortable lives within the park community.

To date, Ham Kiem II Industrial Park has attracted 17 projects, including seven foreign-invested projects, with a combined total registered capital of VND772 billion and $185 million.
