The social housing apartment project in the Long Hung Residential Area is invested by the Dong Nai General Agricultural Service Cooperative Union (DonaCoop). The project consists of six 25-storey apartment blocks, providing about 2,800 apartments. Construction is expected to take around two years, with completion scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027.

According to Bui Thanh Truc, Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of the DonaCoop, this is a project of profound political and social significance, creating conditions for eligible beneficiaries of social housing to settle down, stabilize their lives, feel secure at work and contribute to society; at the same time, it helps build Dong Nai into a harmoniously, civilly and sustainably developing urban area. DonaCoop is committed to strictly complying with the Party’s guidelines and the State’s laws, ensuring construction quality, progress, labor safety, and synchronous investment in technical and social infrastructure.
