Through the MoU, CapitaLand Vietnam will be able to leverage the technical consultancy capabilities of Surbana Jurong in areas such as master planning, quantity surveying, project management, as well as urban, architectural, and engineering design. CapitaLand Vietnam can also tap into Surbana Jurong’s varied experience, especially in the areas of township, industrial, and commercial projects.
