The aim of this new joint venture, according to Peter Ryder, founder and chief executive officer of Indochina Capital, is to build on the success and impressive track record of the two companies, by developing quality and innovative real estate projects throughout Vietnam.

“Our goal is to build on our track record as Vietnam’s leading high-end real estate developer.

Moreover, Ryder added that via this joint venture, Indochina Capital will utilise its in-depth experience in local project development and team of seasoned and dedicated professionals to build quality and innovative real estate projects.

Michael Piro, chief operating officer of Indochina Land, further commented that ICC-Kajima will initially focus on urban infill accommodation projects, in the residential and hospitality segments in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and the south-central city of Danang.

“The company will primarily focus on providing permanent and temporary accommodation in the form of serviced apartments, hotels, and houses, where we have a leading track record and are highly qualified due to our past success in these segments,” said Piro.

Meanwhile Keisuke Koshijima, who heads Kajima Corporation Overseas Division, commented that Vietnam has always been a market of interest to Kajima Corporation.

“Identifying the right partner has been a critical consideration and we are pleased to partner with Indochina Capital in the formation of ICC-Kajima,” he said. “We share a common goal to achieve excellence in every aspect of our operations, management, execution, and performance. We aspire to create superior value for our investors and customers.”

Since its establishment in 1999, Indochina Capital has been a prominent name in Vietnam’s high-end real estate market.
