Vietnam Island Metropolis Project Gains Global Spotlight At Times Square

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 (Bernama) -- Gold Coast Vung Tau is positioning Vietnam on the global map with the emergence of its first international island metropolis, developed under the Eco–Cinematic Living philosophy to create an integrated living environment that connects nature, amenities, and community.

The development’s TVC was recently showcased on large-format LED screens at Times Square, New York, highlighting its ambitions to attract a global audience with a Vietnam-born island metropolis built to international standards.

Drawing inspiration from Australia’s Gold Coast, Gold Coast Vung Tau is positioned beyond conventional residential development, according to a statement.

At the heart of the project, “Eco” represents a complete ecosystem where boulevards, landmark amenities, and expansive natural scenery operate cohesively as a fully functioning city. This vision forms the foundation of Mega Living—an expansive lifestyle shaped by scale, openness, and long-term planning.

Located in southeastern Ho Chi Minh City, the development benefits from the infrastructure and tourism advantages of Vietnam’s Southern Key Economic Region. It is approximately 60 minutes from the city centre and 35 minutes from Long Thanh International Airport.

Covering 1,300 hectares, the masterplan includes 300 hectares of interconnected waterways, 150 hectares of parks and green spaces, and over 100 on-site and nearby amenities. A key highlight is an 85-hectare outlet destination, planned to become the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia.

According to the developer, the project leverages the region’s strong infrastructure and tourism fundamentals to establish Gold Coast Vung Tau as a must-visit destination, contributing to the elevation of Vietnam’s international image in the travel and leisure sector.
