UOA is transferring all shares of VIAS Hong Ngoc Bao to its subsidiaries: UOA Vietnam Pte Ltd, UTD Vietnam Pte Ltd, and UTM Vietnam Pte Ltd.

Through this transaction, UOA Group gains legal ownership of a 2,000m² prime land plot in what was formerly District 1 (now Tan Dinh Ward), Ho Chi Minh City. This area is highly sought-after for premium office space, boasting numerous Grade A and B office buildings that attract multinational corporations, financial institutions, and leading domestic enterprises.

Funded by the company’s reserves, the deal aligns with UOA’s strategy to strengthen revenue streams and diversify its investment portfolio across Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam.

UOA plans to develop a Grade A office building on the site, with a total gross floor area of approximately 20,000m². Construction is slated to begin in Q4 2025, with completion expected in Q2 2028. The total investment is estimated at 120 million USD (approximately 182.3 million AUD).

Dickson Kong, Investment Director of United Overseas Australia Ltd, stated: “Expanding in Vietnam leverages the nation’s rapid transformation into a global financial hub, supported by significant government investment in high-tech industries and infrastructure. This acquisition will increase our total gross floor area in Ho Chi Minh City to nearly 120,000m². We are also actively exploring residential real estate development opportunities in Vietnam.”

Of this, 90.2% (1,204 billion VND) was contributed through land use rights, with the remaining 9.8% in VND.
