Dong Nai Province continues to maintain its position as a major destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) and industrial real estate development in Vietnam's Southern Key Economic Region. As interregional transportation infrastructure rapidly develops, Long Thanh District has become a strategic investment location attracting multinational corporations, supported by the Long Thanh International Airport megaproject and an extensive network of major expressways.
As the next step in the province's strategy to expand its supply of high-quality industrial land, Long Duc 3 Industrial Park is planned to meet the demand for modern, integrated manufacturing facilities among businesses operating in high technology, precision engineering, and logistics. In this article, BIC provides a comprehensive overview of the strategic location, technical infrastructure planning, targeted investment sectors, and latest investment incentives at Long Duc 3 Industrial Park in Dong Nai, helping investors and businesses accurately evaluate its development potential before making investment decisions.
Amid global supply chain restructuring and increasingly stringent requirements for eco-industrial standards, Long Duc 3 Industrial Park has emerged as one of the major industrial projects systematically planned in Dong Nai Province. The project plays an important role in expanding the industrial development space of Long Thanh District and providing infrastructure to accommodate a new wave of investment.
The Long Duc 3 Industrial Park project received investment policy approval from the Government under Decision No. 842/QD-TTg dated July 14, 2023, marking an important legal milestone that allows the development of modern technical infrastructure:
- Administrative location: Long Duc Commune, Long Thanh District, Dong Nai Province.
- Total planned area: 244.5 hectares (approximately 244.48 hectares).
- Total infrastructure investment capital: VND 1.8 trillion.
- Investor / Developer: Long Duc 3 Industrial Park Joint Stock Company.
- Project operating term: 50 years from the date of investment policy approval (July 14, 2023, to July 14, 2073).
Long Duc 3 Industrial Park is not being developed according to the conventional industrial park model. Instead, it is positioned as an Eco-Industrial Park – High-Tech Industrial Park – Supporting Industries Investment Destination:
- Green Industrial Park (Green IP) standards: Prioritizing green space coverage, circular waste treatment systems, and renewable energy applications, particularly rooftop solar power systems, to meet the stringent Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) requirements of multinational FDI corporations.
- Focus on high-tech industries: Prioritizing investment projects in precision engineering, electronic component manufacturing, telecommunications, automation equipment, and pharmaceuticals.
- Development of an integrated supply chain ecosystem: Establishing strong connections with the existing Long Duc Industrial Park (Phases 1 and 2) to create an integrated manufacturing and supporting industries value chain serving the entire Southern Key Economic Region.
In factory design, construction, and industrial investment, geographic location and transportation connectivity are critical factors determining logistics supply chain efficiency. Long Duc 3 Industrial Park occupies a strategic position at the center of Long Thanh District's development area, benefiting from one of Southern Vietnam's most advanced interregional transportation networks.
Long Duc 3 Industrial Park is strategically located near major transportation corridors, facilitating the efficient movement of raw materials and finished products:
- National Highway 51: A major transportation route connecting Bien Hoa City with Ba Ria–Vung Tau Province, providing convenient access to neighboring industrial centers.
- Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway: Reduces travel time from industrial factories to central Ho Chi Minh City to approximately 40 minutes.
- Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway and Bien Hoa – Vung Tau Expressway: These expressway connections facilitate direct access between the industrial park, the Mekong Delta region, and deep-water seaport clusters without requiring transportation through central Ho Chi Minh City.
Thanks to its location at a key logistics intersection, businesses establishing factories at Long Duc 3 Industrial Park can significantly optimize transportation costs:
- Long Thanh International Airport: Approximately 12–15 km from the industrial park (around 15 minutes by road), offering significant advantages for high-tech component manufacturing, aviation-related industries, and products requiring air freight transportation.
- Cai Mep – Thi Vai Deep-Water Port Cluster: Approximately 40 km away, supporting direct international shipping routes to Europe and North America.
- Cat Lai Port (Ho Chi Minh City): Approximately 45 km away.
- Central Ho Chi Minh City: Approximately 40–45 km away.
Long Duc 3 Industrial Park is located adjacent to the existing Long Duc Industrial Park, Phases 1 and 2, an established industrial area with a substantial community of Japanese enterprises, including companies such as Lixil, SMC, and Fujitsu. This creates an existing manufacturing ecosystem with significant advantages:
- Access to supporting services, logistics infrastructure, and locally sourced industrial components within the surrounding area.
- Convenient connections with supply chain partners when implementing new factory construction projects.
To meet the stringent manufacturing standards of FDI investors, Long Duc 3 Industrial Park is being developed with modern, integrated technical infrastructure aligned with eco-industrial development principles.
- Electricity supply: Power is supplied directly from the national electricity grid through a dedicated 110/22 kV transformer station serving the area, ensuring continuous electricity availability for production lines around the clock.
- Clean energy initiatives: Factory roof structures are designed with sufficient load-bearing capacity to accommodate rooftop solar power installations, helping manufacturing facilities pursue international green building certifications.
- Water supply: Clean water is supplied from local groundwater and surface water treatment facilities with substantial capacity, with direct connections provided to the boundaries of individual industrial land plots.
- Wastewater treatment: A centralized wastewater treatment facility incorporates modern biological treatment technology with a capacity of several thousand cubic meters per day. All treated wastewater must meet Column A standards under QCVN 40:2011/BTNMT before being discharged into the environment.
- Internal road network: Main roads have planned widths ranging from 30 to 45 meters (4–6 traffic lanes), while secondary roads range from 19 to 25 meters. The road network uses high-load-capacity asphalt concrete pavement with K98 compaction requirements, allowing 40-foot container trucks and oversized heavy-duty vehicles to move efficiently.
- Telecommunications infrastructure: High-speed underground fiber-optic networks are provided by major telecommunications operators, including VNPT, Viettel, and FPT, with ready-to-connect services supporting Smart Factory operations.
- Green space coverage: Green areas account for at least 10%–15% of the industrial park's total area, creating a more comfortable landscape and helping reduce the urban heat island effect.
- Supporting services: The master plan includes a centralized administrative and service area with customs offices, banking facilities, centralized parking areas, and supporting logistics warehouses.
