Viglacera — industrial parks, social housing and urban areas
Viglacera is best known for building materials, but its real estate business — industrial parks and social housing — has contributed a large share of its profit. In 2026, the company is preparing a new line of reasonably priced commercial housing.
Viglacera is a company with more than 50 years of history, familiar to Vietnamese households through its tiles, sanitary ware and construction glass. Fewer people know that Viglacera's real estate business is also very large: in 2024, the company owned 15 industrial parks with a total area of more than 4,000 ha and was the developer of 18 commercial and social housing areas. If you are interested in social housing, worker housing or homes near the industrial parks of northern Vietnam, this is a developer worth knowing.

Reasonably priced commercial housing
At its shareholders' meeting in April 2026, Viglacera said it is preparing a line of reasonably priced commercial housing, expected to launch at the end of 2026. The specific location and scale have not been announced.
New industrial parks in 2026
In 2026, Viglacera plans to break ground on about 900 ha of industrial parks: Tay Pho Yen phase 1 (Thai Nguyen, about 500 ha), Phu Ninh phase 1 (about 150 ha) and Hung Yen Industrial Park No. 1 (about 217 ha). Tay Pho Yen Industrial Park phase 1 is developed by Viglacera Thai Nguyen JSC, with investment of about 5,400 billion VND; it broke ground on 29 October 2026 and will be built over 3 years. New industrial parks usually bring housing demand from professionals and workers in the surrounding area.
