At the event, Mrs. Dang Thi Kim Oanh, Chairwoman and CEO of Kim Oanh Group, emphasized: “K-Home New City is a pioneering project in the line of Singapore-standard social housing developments that Kim Oanh Land is executing in the South. Not only meets modern criterias of construction, but also integrates a wide range of green building solutions applied in various developed nations in the world”.

Receiving the EDGE certification is clear evidence of Kim Oanh Group’s vision: All for People, Community and the Future. “We are committed to creating ideal homes and providing steady living opportunities for millions of low-income families”.

Mrs. Diep Nguyen-van Houtte, Senior Global Director of the Climate Finance Department at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, said: “The 297 units of K-Home New City, who is actually the 1^st EDGE preliminary certificated social housing batch  in Ho Chi Minh City, has exceeded the standards for EDGE certification. At this stage, the project has successfully demonstrated 26% Energy Efficiency, 28% Water Efficiency and 52% reduction in Embodied Carbon in Building materials.”

This means monthly utility bills for residents will be approximately 20% lower, without impacting living standards and comfort. Green solutions applied to this project will also lighten the load on the surrounding infrastructure network and contribute in developing sustainable urban area.
