Vinhomes has achieved a significant milestone with its Vinhomes Green Paradise – Can Gio project receiving the Interim Custom ISO 37122 Smart City Certification from the World Council on City Data (WCCD). The certification positions the project as the first mega urban development in Vietnam to pursue internationally recognized smart city status, reinforcing Vinhomes' role in shaping AI-powered urban living.
The importance of this certification extends beyond a single project. It reflects a broader global shift toward AI-driven urban infrastructure, a trend that is reshaping real estate value and investor confidence. Analysts at McKinsey estimate that AI could unlock as much as $550 billion in value across the global real estate value chain, according to a McKinsey report. The latest Emerging Trends in Real Estate report, produced jointly by PwC and the Urban Land Institute, found that 75% of real estate professionals now use AI or machine learning in their operations, up sharply from 51% a year earlier, as detailed in the PwC/ULI report.
Vinhomes has been building toward this moment for years. In 2021, the company brought the LEED Platinum-certified TechnoPark at Vinhomes Ocean Park into operation, a smart building engineered to match the operational performance standards of the world's top ten smart buildings. In 2025, it launched the Vinhomes Resident mini-app, built on V-App infrastructure developed by VinSmart Future. The app serves as a one-stop service gateway, allowing residents to manage household information, book amenities, pay bills, track handover procedures, access digital community maps, and receive updates from a single screen. It has already attracted more than 35,000 users, generating operational data that Vinhomes uses to refine services and shape its long-term smart city strategy.
Security and infrastructure have received equal rigor. Vinhomes' proprietary SmartCity solution suite integrates security, infrastructure, and environmental management on a single platform. At its core is the KSVR security system paired with Smart Poles, a multifunctional infrastructure model that Vinhomes describes as a first in Vietnam, combining AI cameras, movement recognition and tracking, interactive smart lighting, digital media screens, mobile charging ports, and IoT sensors that monitor energy, water, and environmental quality in real time.
The WCCD certification recognizes the project's baseline of urban data, positioning it to become the first mega urban development in Vietnam to pursue internationally recognized smart city certification and setting a new benchmark for greenfield smart city development globally. Dr. Patricia McCarney, President & CEO of the World Council on City Data, said, "This WCCD Interim Custom ISO 37122 Smart City Certification recognizes Vinhomes' long-term vision and commitment to developing a smart, sustainable, and future-ready urban model. The Vinhomes Green Paradise - Can Gio urban development project is now equipped with a powerful baseline of data designed to propel success. We congratulate Vinhomes on this important certification milestone, a global first, setting a new precedent for greenfield developments in cities worldwide."
Mr. Chulse Oh, Head of AX Group at Korea Management Association Consultants (KMAC), echoed that recognition, noting that the certification marks an important milestone in realizing the vision of a world-class smart city in Vietnam and that KMAC will continue to support the project during the operational phase.
As global research confirms that AI-driven infrastructure is becoming a deciding factor in real estate value and investor confidence, Vinhomes continues to demonstrate that artificial intelligence elevates how people live. From a LEED Platinum-certified smart building in 2021, to a digital resident platform now serving tens of thousands, to an internationally certified smart city taking shape at Can Gio, Vinhomes is building a future where progress is measured in quality of life.
