our manifesto
We have a singular vision at EZLand: to provide the people of Vietnam with quality and sustainable housing they can afford. We combine local Vietnamese insights and expertise; European roots; and decades of global knowledge and experience to deliver innovative housing solutions.
Vietnam is changing rapidly. Today, it is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, with the GDP growth in urban areas such as Ho Chi Minh City among the fastest in Asia. These demographic and economic developments have led to a shortfall in housing for Vietnam’s younger generation. EZLand is addressing this situation through the provision of quality housing in key areas of Ho Chi Minh City, while providing a wealth of investment opportunities.
With the support of private and institutional capital as well as extensive experience in the real estate and finance sectors, EZLand aims to meet the upsurge in demand for housing while building a better future for the people of Vietnam.

OUR TEAM
We gather a diverse group of professionals, each with a wealth of experience and a proven track record in the fields of investment and real estate in Vietnam. Most of the members have worked together for more than five years, building a strong dynamic team and corporate culture.
Through the initial projects under the Haus brand, they have demonstrated that their combined industry expertise, team cohesion and commitment to international standards result in a profound understanding of the local market – creating additional values for EZLand’s customers and fund investors in the process.
Each team within the group’s organisation is well-positioned to deliver on the platform provided by EZLand and to capitalise on opportunities created by the fast- growing urban middle class. All the while, the EZLand management team continues to provide international investors with unique access to the Vietnamese market and its growth story.

VIETNAM'S MARKET FUNDAMENTALS
Ho Chi Minh City is the first destination to be chosen for development projects by EZLand. The city’s rapidly growing population (average of 2.28 percent of growth per year) has reached 13 million including registered and unregistered residents, making it the most densely populated city in Vietnam. This growth boosts a demand for apartments, as many young couples and families seek quality affordable houses.
Furthermore, Ho Chi Minh City is one of the fastest developing cities in Asia in terms of GDP, with strong growth forecast for at least the next four years. Urban expansion has led to land shortage in the city centre, which shifts people towards Ho Chi Minh City’s suburban areas, especially Thu Duc City. Infrastructure in these areas has been rapidly developing with new expressways, bridges, an international airport and additional Metro train lines.

These figures made HausNeo an ideal option for any homebuyers, not only due to its environmentally friendliness but also more money savings in the long-term.

In August 2019, HausNeo was officially occupied, ahead of schedule.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Responsible investment and development are two key priorities of EZLand. We prioritise the long-term interests of our stakeholders and seek to be recognised as a real estate developer of the highest safety and ethical standards in Vietnam. Our vision is to build a solid foundation and sustainable future for the prosperity and people here.
We understand the importance of non-financial factors (Environment – Social – Governance – ESG) in our investment performance and long-term business sustainability. That is why, in 2020, we became the first Vietnam-based real estate developer to become GRESB benchmarked with the score of 71/100. Assessing our operation through the GRESB framework helps us identify the ESG risks to the company’s operation and develop a stronger governance foundation, especially in regards to fiduciary duty and fraud protection.
In 2021, we continue expanding our ESG commitment by becoming the third signatory of the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI). With this, EZLand seeks to enhance the investors’ returns through minimising ESG risks and incorporating ESG considerations into all decisions.
About the UNPRI Six Principles >>
For every project that we develop, EZLand sets out to reduce the energy consumption and create a healthy living environment for our residents. The Company was awarded the EDGE Champion in 2019 by IFC – for having all of projects certified by EDGE. The EDGE Green Building Certifications signify that our projects perform at least 20 percent better than the current market in resource efficiency, including electricity, water and embodied energy.
While COVID-19 might have delayed some of our milestones for this year, the pandemic and its impacts reinforced our belief that we are already on the right path. We know that there is much more to accomplish and our ESG journey is still long ahead but we believe sustainable development is a business imperative and our responsibility.
