South Korea’s Daewon eyes 280-hectare resort in central province

Chairman of the company, Cheun Eung Sik, also proposed at a recent meeting with local authorities construction of a museum and other facilities, according to the province’s website.

Construction would take 10 years if permits are granted this year.

Daewon has developed several projects in Vietnam, including residential complex Cantavil Premier and Cantavil An Phu in Ho Chi Minh City and the Cantavil Long Hai resort in the southern province of Ba Ria – Vung Tau.

At the meeting Thua Thien Hue chairman Nguyen Van Phuong promised full support if the project is in line with the province’s development strategy.

Officials would strive to help the project obtain all licenses so that construction could begin this year, he said.

Daewon, which entered Vietnam in 2004, also plans urban projects in Da Nang, Quang Tri and Quang Binh in central Vietnam.
