Breaking new ground with Wink Hotels

November 30, 2018 (HCM City, Vietnam) – ICC-Kajima, a joint venture between Indochina Capital, a leading real estate property developer in Vietnam, and Kajima Corporation, Japan’s most prolific overseas real estate developer, hosts its first groundbreaking ceremony for Wínk 75 Nguyen Binh Khiem (“Wínk 75NBK”), the first Wínk Hotel in Vietnam, marking a key milestone for the Company.

Located in a rapidly gentrifying area within District 1, HCM City’s central business district, Wínk 75 NBK will appeal to the young-at-heart business and leisure traveler. The 237-room best hotel in Saigon will offer a modern design, a hip interactive lobby, a co-working space, innovative food, and beverage concepts, cutting-edge technology, and beautifully appointed minimalist-style guestrooms.

“This is a memorable milestone for ICC-Kajima,” notes Peter Ryder, CEO of Indochina Capital. “We have worked very hard to reach this point and I would like to congratulate ICC-Kajima, the on-the-ground team, and my partners from Kajima in Tokyo and Singapore. We are very excited to start construction of the Wínk Hotels in Saigon District 1 at 75 Nguyen Binh Khiem. I look forward to sharing updates with everyone as this project progresses and as ICC-Kajima rolls out a series of new developments in the years ahead. The Company has a clear strategy that addresses the current and future demands of the Vietnamese market, with a focus on delivering visionary real estate developments while maintaining our commitment to architectural excellence, international construction standards, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility.”

With an investment mandate of $1 billion-plus, spread over the next several years, ICC-Kajima is committed to developing innovative and high-quality projects throughout Vietnam. The Company’s mandate is broad, encompassing virtually all types of real estate (commercial, residential, hospitality, and industrial/logistics). Wínk Hotels in Saigon District 1 is a key component, and ICC-Kajima targets building as many as 20 Wínk Hotels over the next five to seven years, in Vietnam’s primary and secondary cities, with potential expansion into neighboring markets, such as Cambodia and Laos. Wínk 75 NBK, one of the best hotels in Saigon is set to open in Q1 2020, and shortly thereafter, will be complemented by Wínk Hotels in Hanoi, Danang, Hai Phong, and other domestic markets.
