One Era: Unlocking a Life of Limitless Possibilities

Within the framework of the event, a strategic cooperation signing ceremony and groundbreaking ritual were held, marking the emergence of a new symbol for Vietnamese urbanism—ushering in an era of flexible living, rich experiences, and limitless possibilities.

Vietnam is undergoing a profound transformation, with emerging megacities and generations eager to redefine happiness. Amidst this tide, One Era emerges as a testament to the ambition of creating a city of boundless potential—a convergence of technology, nature, community, and international vision.

Four Urban Development Masters from Vietnam and Internationally Collaborate

The One Era project (The One World) is invested by four leading conglomerates in Vietnam and Asia: Kim Oanh Group, Sumitomo Forestry, Kumagai Gumi, and NTT Urban Development.

Among them, Kim Oanh Group—as one of the principal investors—has officially authorized Kinera as the project developer, bringing a fresh perspective that merges international expertise with local insights.

Kinera is founded on the philosophy of “Cherished Living,” rooted in understanding local culture and needs to create spaces with unique signatures.

Sumitomo Forestry, with over 300 years of pioneering forestry heritage, brings expertise in wood, eco-materials, biomass energy, and green urban solutions.

NTT Urban Development showcases its prowess by integrating smart technology while keeping the human element at its core.

Kumagai Gumi contributes international-standard planning, construction engineering, and project management, proven through global-scale projects.

Beyond the four developers, One Era gathers a network of prestigious international partners such as NTT DATA VIETNAM, Savills, and Coteccons. These names bring expertise in technology, management consulting, and landscape planning solutions, collectively shaping a city of limitless potential where all values converge and elevate.

Crafting a City That Inspires Breakthroughs

The project is envisioned as a new-generation model urban area—a flexible living space rich in experiences and unlocking limitless development potential.

Spanning 49.5 hectares in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s megacity, the project boasts comprehensive connectivity: from airports, hospitals, and schools to the integrated AEON Mall within the development.

Alongside modern infrastructure and lush greenery, it serves as a launchpad for future generations: where children thrive in sunlit international schools; families find balance in parks and green canals; and every generation discovers spaces reflecting personal happiness.

Beyond a mere residence, the project offers a breakthrough lifestyle, encouraging residents to explore, grow, and unlock their full potential.

Limitless Living Through Thoughtful Understanding

Sharing insights on the project, a Kinera representative stated: “We focus on what urban residents truly desire. Our vision is that instead of adapting to a fixed lifestyle or amenities, residents should live in an unrestricted environment—where all potential is unlocked, and individuals freely choose what suits them best.”

Partnering with Japanese experts, One Era embraces international standards to create a city of limitless potential.

A clear demonstration of this vision was showcased at the groundbreaking event: the introduction of smart city research consulting through Smart Poles—integrated urban fixtures combining lighting, sensors, AI cameras, and IoT data by NTT DATA VIETNAM.

Beyond automatically adjusting lighting based on real-time needs, Smart Poles capture lifestyle rhythms, movement patterns, and public space usage, enabling flexible management of traffic, security, and amenities.

Through sustained efforts to understand resident needs over time, coupled with the combined expertise of the four developers, One Era is shaped as a city where technology unlocks potential, dynamism drives momentum, and sustainability fosters living habits.

Spreading the Vision of a City of Limitless Potential

The One Era groundbreaking event gathered over 300 guests in an exhibition space showcasing each developer’s vision. Each display represented a slice of the creation journey: from Kinera’s “Cherished Living” philosophy, Sumitomo Forestry’s eco-planning, NTT Urban Development’s human-centric technology, to Kumagai Gumi’s international-standard execution.

The areas were designed so attendees could embrace both individual perspectives and the collective vision of the four developers. This embodies One Era’s spirit: a space where every vision is valued, converging to create a City of Limitless Potential.

Beyond a new 49.5-hectare urban area in Ho Chi Minh City, One Era symbolizes Vietnam’s transformation—ready to embrace international standards and craft a city unlocking infinite potential for a breakthrough generation.
