The complex covers an area of more than 238 hectares, including 186 hectares for the urban area and nearly 52 hectares for the Air Force College.
The urban area will accommodate about 22,600 people. The project will be invested VND5,200 billion by Thanh Dong Real Estate Investment Joint Stock Company and 319 Corporation under the Ministry of Defence.
According to Vu Viet Hung from Vietnam Institute of Architecture, Urban and Rural Planning, the planning of Nha Trang Urban Area – Commerce – Service – Finance – Tourism Center not only complies with economic technical standards of Vietnam but consults some international ones. Therefore, land for housing construction makes up only 27.4%; public land: 74%, land for trees: 15% and land for traffic: 30.6% with an aim to build up a green urban area harmonious with the sea landscape and the existing residential areas around it as well as suitable with the long-term and sustainable development orientation.
