Record 2007 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worth US$ 20.3 billion is driving Vietnam's real estate industry but experts have urged existing and would be investors and developers to take an holistic approach and support local and regional infrastructure requirements.
The cautionary advice came during keynote presentations at the Cityscape Asia conference, which closed yesterday (Thursday 17 April). The three-day event which took place at the Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre, played host to 6,000 industry professionals and is part of the largest B2B real estate event brand in the world.
During his presentation entitled, ‘Where to Invest and What to Build in Vietnam' Philip Atkinson, Regional Director of Dubai-based Limitless, who broke ground last December on their US$220 Million Halong Star project, located on Vietnam's N.E. coast, called for investors and developers to pursue an all-embracing strategy.
