Representing the project developer, Mr. Nguyen Duy Kien – Founder of KITA Group, delivered the opening speech, stating: “Our projects are always developed based on three core values: solid legal foundations – smart solutions – a civilized and friendly community. For Stella Icon, the construction permit issued by the Can Tho City Department of Construction to KITA Invest serves as the legal basis for commencing construction and completing the project on schedule, meeting the demand for environmentally friendly, well-equipped apartments within the civilized community of KITA Airport City.”
Can Tho City— the core urban center rich in the river-based cultural identity of the Mekong Delta— is undergoing a transformation into a smart, dynamic, and modern city. As the “capital” of the Mekong Delta, Can Tho has witnessed rapid infrastructure development and urbanization, positioning itself as an attractive destination for investment, economic growth, and a driving force for the entire region.
Over the years, KITA Group has invested in and developed Stella Mega City, a well-planned urban area located in the heart of Binh Thuy District, featuring comprehensive infrastructure and modern living amenities. The project has become a “star” urban area in Can Tho and the wider Mekong Delta. Under its new strategic direction, KITA Group has officially transformed Stella Mega City into KITA Airport City—a groundbreaking “airport city” model appearing for the first time in the Mekong Delta region.
Located just 3 kilometers from Can Tho International Airport, KITA Airport City is poised to benefit significantly as the airport evolves into a logistics and transportation hub for the Mekong Delta and Vietnam as a whole. This area is expected to form a vibrant airport-oriented urban zone, enhancing trade connectivity and introducing a modern, dynamic lifestyle for residents.
With its strategic position within the airport urban zone, KITA Airport City will evolve into a vibrant destination featuring cultural, artistic, entertainment, commercial, and service activities, along with premium amenities. It is envisioned as a hub for a high-quality residential community, tourism attraction, economic development, and an ideal destination for both domestic and international visitors.
With a new strategic development direction, KITA Group has officially transformed Stella Mega City into KITA Airport City – a groundbreaking “airport city” model making its first appearance in the Mekong Delta region.
Stella Icon marks the first driving force in the new development phase of KITA Airport City. Stella Icon occupies a prime location at the core of the 150-hectare KITA Airport City, fronting Lac Long Quan Street and directly connecting to two major arterial roads in Binh Thuy District—Vo Van Kiet and Le Hong Phong, which serve as key transportation corridors linking Can Tho with other Mekong Delta provinces.
The Stella Icon project (legal name: Stella 360 – Ngoi Sao 360 Apartment Building) received investment policy approval and investor approval on July 6, 2022, under Decision No. 1948/QD-UBND issued by the Can Tho City People’s Committee, along with Construction Permit No. 05/GPXD issued by the Can Tho Department of Construction on July 25, 2024.
The project is developed on Plot No. 690, Map Sheet No. 39, in accordance with the 1/500 master plan of the residential area in Binh Thuy Ward, Binh Thuy District, Can Tho City. The project has also received clearance approval for aviation height restrictions from the Department of Operations (Document No. 434/TC-QC, dated August 28, 2019), as well as environmental impact assessment approval under Decision No. 1145/QD-UBND dated May 27, 2021.
Delivering remarks at the ceremony, Mr. Duong Tan Hien – Member of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee and Standing Vice Chairman of the Can Tho City People’s Committee, stated:
“The Stella 360 Apartment Project is located within a rapidly developing residential area with strong advantages in transportation, tourism, culture, proximity to administrative offices, schools, hospitals, Hung Kings Temple, Binh Thuy District Square, Tra Noc Industrial Park, Can Tho International Airport, and port and logistics infrastructure. With these significant advantages, I am confident that this more than 150-hectare urban area invested by KITA Group will soon become operational, attracting a modern, civilized urban population, enhancing urban space in line with planning orientations, and contributing to the socio-economic development of Can Tho City.”
