Investments and opportunities

Infra Asia’s most extensive investment is the DEEP C industrial zone cluster, a cluster of five industrial parks in the close vicinity of the new Haiphong Gateway International deep-sea port (the “Lach Huyen port”) and the completely revamped highway network connecting Hanoi with South China. 

Construction of the Lach Huyen port is well underway, and the port is expected to become operational in 2017/2018. This first and only deep-sea port in North Vietnam with a depth of -14m will allow international investors to tap into the enormous potential of North Vietnam. The port, together with the improved road network will be an absolute game changer for the region, and is already attracting major industrial companies that are looking for a production and distribution platform in Northern Vietnam. 

Infra-Asia has secured concessions for more than 2200ha of prime industrial land, part of which must be reclaimed from the sea, and therefore requires particular maritime expertise to make it successful.

The location of the concessions, combined with Infra Asia’s expertise makes Infra Asia uniquely positioned to reap the benefits presented by the development of this deep-sea port. 

Infra Asia’s firm belief in the potential of North Vietnam (with a focus on the Haiphong and the Quang Ninh Province) has been validated by:

• Vietnam’s tremendous economic growth, 
• The rising foreign direct investments attracted to Vietnam,
• North Vietnam’s regional growth rate consistently surpassing the national average, and
• the continued investments of the Government in new infrastructure links in the area. 

The marketing team of the DEEP C cluster has recently picked up on a strong demand of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for ready-built-factories and facilities available for lease.

In order to tap into this important market, Infra Asia has decided to set-up Warehousing Workshop Worldwide (“WWW”). This company will lease land from the industrial parks in the DEEP C cluster at arm’s length basis, construct ready-built-factories, standard module-based warehouses and office blocks, which it will subsequently lease to customers.

These facilities will offer SMEs the opportunity to access the business potential of North Vietnam without a large upfront investment. Construction of the first phase has started in 2016.

Through its participation in WWW, Infra Asia can provide services to a wider range of potential customers and can further leverage its land concessions by optimising the land usage of certain plots of land.
