CapitaLand’s first residential development in Vietnam, The Vista, has been granted first batch of housing ownership certificates, normally known as pink books.

The books were welcomed by The Vista home purchasers in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 2. The Vista is jointly developed by CapitaLand as the lead developer, Thien Duc Trading Construction and Phu Gia Investment.

The construction was completed on schedule and the apartments were handed over to home purchasers from end 2011.  

“With the pink books, home purchasers can enjoy their legal rights in accordance with the Land Law and the Law on Residential Housing, such as right to assign, right to lease, right to inherit, right for capital contribution,” said a company release.

Yip Hoong Mun, deputy CEO of CapitaLand Vietnam, said: “The Vista marks several milestones achieved by CapitaLand in Vietnam. When The Vista was officially launched in October 2007, it received overwhelming response from the Vietnamese. “Notwithstanding the challenging market, the project was completed as scheduled in September 2011 and has since been handed over successfully to homebuyers. And now the first batch of pink books has been issued. In addition, we are regularly organising various activities for residents, neighbors, and public, such as Vista Christmas Bazaar, Vista Tet Bazaar, Earth Hour event. The Vista is more than just a residence, it is also a community for our residents,” Mun said.
