Linh Phong Conic’s Role in the Project:
In an interview, Mr. Phuong Quoc Vinh, Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Linh Phong Conic, shared that the company acquired the Conic Boulevard project from the previous investor in 2018 for development. Subsequently, Linh Phong Conic focused primarily on addressing legal issues, repairing infrastructure and landscapes, and completing the construction of the apartments. The company received active support from local authorities in resolving the project’s legal complexities. “This was considered the biggest hurdle for the project and a matter of great importance to the company,” said Mr. Vinh, adding that buyers will purchase project products through Linh Phong Conic and receive confirmation from the investor.
Currently, the project is completed and undergoing fire protection inspection and other necessary procedures, with expected handover in late Q4/2024 to early Q1/2025. Conic Boulevard is located at the intersection of Vo Van Kiet Boulevard and National Highway 1A, adjacent to the Tham Luong – Ben Cat – Rach Nuoc Len canal, the longest canal in Ho Chi Minh City, spanning nearly 32 kilometers across seven districts and counties. The canal improvement project has a total investment of 8,200 billion VND, commenced in February 2023, and has achieved 70% progress, with completion expected by mid-2025.
With an average selling price of 37 million VND per square meter (excluding VAT), the two- and three-bedroom apartments at Conic Boulevard target middle-income earners and families with young children, as shared by Mr. Vinh.

Executive Vice President of EximRS, Mr. Le Tien Vu, informed that the company has over 15 years of experience in the real estate industry and is associated with 50 trading floors nationwide. EximRS will be the official marketing and distribution unit for the project. It is understood that about 300 Conic Boulevard apartments will be launched during this kick-off phase.
Mr. Pham Linh, Vice President of VietABank (VAB), shared that the bank is the project’s financial partner, offering buyers a maximum loan of 85% over 25 years. The interest rate is 0% per annum for the first 18 months, with a 60-month grace period for principal repayment.
Having previously succeeded with the Conic 13B Residential Area project, spanning nearly 30 hectares and located in Lot 13b Nguyen Van Linh, this Binh Chanh-based enterprise continues to consider this area a key real estate development market. Additionally, Mr. Vinh expressed their desire to expand into Dong Nai, Binh Duong, and Long An provinces. The company can participate through various forms, such as bidding in accordance with the Investment Law or responding to local investment invitations. Following the orientation set by the General Meeting of Shareholders and the Board of Directors, the company will acquire projects from investors facing financial difficulties or struggling with legal complexities. “We will provide support to revive these stalled projects,” affirmed the Chairman of Linh Phong Conic.
