As at end September 2017, it had S$2.0 billion worth of gross assets under management in Vietnam.
The latest acquisition will expand CapitaLand's portfolio to 11 residential developments, 21 serviced residences with around 4,700 units and one international Grade A office development across six cities in Vietnam.
