Real estate producer Anpha Holdings on Friday Oct 6 opened the showhouse for SIMCITY Premier Homes project, the first smart city project in Viet Nam.

Located on Road No 4 in District 9, SIMCITY is expected to become an ideal destination for experts from many nations and territories in the world as the project is built with many modern materials and full of amenities like a gym, a floating pool and clubhouse, business lounge, park and start-up incubation mega centre.

In addition, it will be equipped with many smart technologies.

The project contains over 300 houses and villas and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2019.

At the showhouse, customers can experience new smart-home technologies that have never been seen in Viet Nam, according to the developer. All of them apply 4.0-level technology.

A robot that acts as steward was previously shown at a technology exhibition in Germany. Invented by South Korea’s LG Group, the robot can control all household machines through a smartphone.

Panasonic, meanwhile, has provided its most advanced CCTV systems as well as modern air conditioners.

According to Anpha Holdings, the SIMCITY project was selected by Cornell University in the US as a lecture topic this month.

Le Viet Duc, deputy general director of Anpha Holdings, said: “We want to develop a model smart city in Viet Nam with smart citizens. Advanced smart-home technologies have become a reality in the project.”

At the showhouse’s opening ceremony, media company Dot Property awarded SIMCITY the “South East Asia Best of the Luxury Township Development.”

Anpha Holdings is a major real estate developer in Viet Nam. It has paid more than VND1 trillion (US$43.8 million) to buy real estate projects from other developers this year. The company has also developed many big projects in Singapore, Malaysia and Australia. — VNS
