Construction of the project began in November 2012 and is expected to be handover in 2014.

Also on Wednesday, the company signed an agreement with Vietcombank, Vietinbank and Eximbank to provide client support for those buying apartments inSora Garden 1.

Sora Gardens is one part of a US$1.2 billion-Tokyu Binh Duong Garden City Project.

With this project, total foreign-direct-investment (FDI) coming into the province increased more than 2.5 times over the previous to $2.8 billion last year. It pushed the southern province to first place in the country in attracting FDI.

The project is an important part of the Binh Duong New City, which is planned as a new green and clean urban area that will become the core political, economic, cultural and social centre in the province by 2020.

Population of the new city is expected to increase rapidly once the provincial government offices are moved to a new location at the heart of the city this year. — VNS
