Strategic advantages for Singaporean investors
For multinational corporations and SingCham member enterprises, selecting a manufacturing base in Vietnam extends beyond rental costs. Strategic decisions hinge on three core pillars: Logistics total cost of ownership (TCO), access to high-caliber talent, and stringent ESG compliance.
Southern HCMC is undergoing its most significant infrastructure overhaul to date. Located at the gateway between HCMC and the Mekong Delta, Long Hau Industrial Park and the green-certified Long Hau LEED Park serve as strategic industrial and logistics hubs, ready to support foreign investors capitalizing on global supply chain shifts.
PART 1: OVERVIEW OF SOUTHERN HCMC’S MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
Surrounding transport infrastructure follows an integrated three-tier framework, resolving urban transit bottlenecks:
- Inter-regional corridors: Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway | HCMC Ring Road 3
- Radial & arterial routes: North–South Axis (Nguyen Huu Tho) | Metro Line 4
- International gateways: Hiep Phuoc Port Cluster | Can Gio Transshipment Port | Long Thanh International Airport
1. Inter-regional corridors (East–West Artery)
HCMC Ring Road 3 (70.4 km): A closed outer ring road diverting heavy trucks and container traffic away from the city center, accelerating inter-provincial transit.
Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway (57.8 km): A critical East–West corridor directly linking the Mekong Delta to Southeast industrial hubs, Cai Mep – Thi Vai deep-sea port, and Long Thanh International Airport without entering central HCMC. The project is ~99% complete, with the Western section (Binh Chanh – Nguyen Van Tao) operational and the Phuoc Khanh Bridge main span closed.
Long Hau Industrial Park is situated at the Nguyen Van Tao intersection, providing direct access to the Southwestern and Southeastern regions via the Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway.
2. Radial & arterial routes
- North–South axis upgrade (Nguyen Huu Tho Road): An 8 km expansion (Nguyen Van Linh to Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway) widened to 60 m (10 lanes), including a 6.6 km 4-lane elevated expressway (80 km/h) and parallel frontage roads. Slated to break ground in Q4 2026 and complete by Q4 2028, it eliminates the main transit bottleneck between downtown HCMC and Long Hau Industrial Park.
- Metro Line 4 (Thanh Xuan – Hiep Phuoc, 36.2 km): A high-capacity north–south urban transit backbone connecting District 12, Tan Son Nhat Airport, District 1, and Phu My Hung (District 7) directly to Long Hau IP’s entrance and Hiep Phuoc Port Urban Area.
- Secondary feeder network: Provincial Road 826E connects Long Hau IP directly to National Highway 50; the expressway–National Highway 50 interchange is being upgraded; Nguyen Van Tao is planned for widening to 60 m (8–10 lanes); and Provincial Road 827E (National Highway 50B) is underway.
3. Deep-sea ports & aviation gateways
- Hiep Phuoc deep-sea port cluster (Soai Rap river): Located just 3 km from Long Hau IP, the Soai Rap navigation channel accommodates high-tonnage vessels for direct maritime import/export clearance.
- Can Gio International Transshipment Port & Long Thanh Airport: Establish Southern Vietnam’s premier maritime and air cargo logistics gateway.
The section of the Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway crossing the Phuoc Khanh Bridge has been completed.
PART 2: STRATEGIC LOCATION & INVESTOR BENEFITS
Positioned at HCMC’s southern gateway, Long Hau Industrial Park and Long Hau LEED Park deliver four key operational advantages:
1. Unifying the East–West logistics divide
Historically, agricultural supply basins and consumer markets sat to the west (Mekong Delta), while deep-sea ports and international airports were clustered to the east (Dong Nai, Ba Ria – Vung Tau). Shippers faced downtown congestion or had to maintain duplicate warehouses. Situated at the Nguyen Van Tao interchange, Long Hau IP serves as a unified distribution hub, receiving materials from the west and exporting through eastern ports in a single seamless corridor.
2. Multimodal logistics optimization
Tenants benefit from flexible, cost-effective multimodal transport:
- Sea: 5–10 minutes to Hiep Phuoc Port (3 km), ~45 minutes to Cat Lai or Cai Mep – Thi Vai ports.
- Road: Seamless connectivity across the Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway and Ring Road 3.
- Air: Direct access to Long Thanh International Airport, ensuring tight cut-off times for high-value air cargo.
3. Top talent attraction & retention
Proximity to central HCMC, direct access via Nguyen Huu Tho Road, and future Metro Line 4 connectivity streamline recruitment. Expatriates and high-level engineers can reside in international communities like Phu My Hung (District 7) with an easy 15–20 minute daily commute.
4. Proactive transition phase readiness (2026–2028)
With local infrastructure maturing, businesses at LHIP already leverage operational links (such as the western expressway section and PR 826E) while establishing an early-mover advantage before major arteries reach full completion between 2026 and 2028.
“Modern infrastructure changes how executives evaluate industrial sites: it’s not just about linear distance, but multi-directional routing options and talent retention. Being located at the nexus of a radial urban axis and an inter-regional expressway unlocks long-term cost optimization.”
— Mr. Bui Le Anh Hieu, Corporate Development Director, Long Hau Corporation.
Long Hau Industrial Park is strategically situated in the southern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City.
PART 3: TARGET INDUSTRIES FOR LONG HAU IP & LONG HAU LEED PARK
Long Hau IP and the Long Hau LEED Park complex offer versatile, international-standard industrial real estate, including industrial land, Ready-Built Factories (RBF), Built-to-Suit (BTS) facilities, and LEED-certified high-rise plants, optimized for 5 core sectors:
1. High-Tech, Semiconductors & Electronics: Rapid access to tech talent and semiconductor engineers from HCMC via Metro Line 4 and Nguyen Huu Tho; quick highway transit to Long Thanh Airport for time-sensitive components. Long Hau LEED Park high-rise spaces provide heavy floor loading and cleanroom-ready configurations (Class 10,000 / 100,000) for SMT and precision assembly.
2. Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics & Medical Devices: Built to meet GMP-WHO, ISO 13485, and rigorous ESG audit standards. Close proximity to HCMC facilitates clinical R&D partnerships with leading medical universities and research institutes. Built-to-suit options allow custom HVAC and cleanroom integration.
3. Smart logistics, warehousing & cold chain: Positioned 3 km from Hiep Phuoc Port and 5 km from the expressway, ideal for Distribution Centers (DC) and cold chain storage handling export-bound agricultural and seafood produce from the Mekong Delta. Heavy-duty flooring accommodates automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS).
4. Premium food & beverage (F&B) processing: Capitalizes on raw material inflows from the Mekong Delta while distributing fresh products directly into HCMC’s consumer market of over 10 million people. Supported by centralized industrial wastewater treatment facilities meeting strict environmental codes.
5. Supporting industries & precision engineering: Embedded within HCMC and Southeast Vietnam’s tier-1/tier-2 supplier network, enabling Just-In-Time (JIT) deliveries to MNCs. Ready-built factories offer flexible footprints (from 500 m² upwards) for rapid deployment.
