Equity / Value Add

Value Add
Manufacturing, data and people are moving outward from Ho Chi Minh City along new roads and rail. We look to build platforms in the places that movement is reaching next, assembled asset by asset.
Our approach
Manufacturing, data and people are moving outward from Ho Chi Minh City. We buy the first asset where that movement is heading, build a platform around it and sell it once it runs on its own.
- Projects launched or opened, 19 December 2025
- 234
- Funded outside the state budget
- 82%
- Bolt-ons in reach before we commit
- 2+
Follow demand
We map where new roads, rail and the airport change land values and catchments, then approach owners and provinces before the market reprices.
Build the platform
We hold control at platform level, professionalise operations and add bolt-ons on a defined acquisition plan, with founders aligned through retained equity.
Sell it stabilised
We sell a stabilised platform to core and core-plus buyers, or list it as Vietnam’s capital markets deepen.
How it fits together
Value Add pairs where demand is moving with the platforms we build to meet it. The transport programme decides where activity arrives; our job is to have the right assets assembled when it does.
Following demand
with platforms
- Long Thanh International Airport
- Ring Road 3
- Metro Line 2
- Saigon Hi-Tech Park
- The new expressway grid
- Logistics and airport services
- Power-secured data capacity
- Cold chain
- Industrial-park utilities
- Bolt-on acquisitions
Demand we follow
New transport links change who can reach a piece of land and what it is worth. We test demand from the tenant or user side rather than the masterplan, and confirm power and grid connection early, so we are buying where activity is arriving rather than where it has been promised.
Platforms we build
A first asset that works on its own, with two or more bolt-ons in reach and a provincial counterpart who wants the platform built. We hold control at platform level, install reporting and operations, and add assets on a defined plan until the platform is ready for a longer-hold owner.
Where we build next
From the national programme to the assets we pursue
Each stage narrows the field: what the state has committed to, what fits this strategy, our screen, and where we are looking now.
