The park has recently seen intensified construction activity, with heavy machinery operating across the site to level land and prepare foundations for factories. Early-stage structures are already taking shape in several areas, underscoring the project’s improving pace.
Developers are adopting a phased “rolling handover” strategy, completing infrastructure in sections and transferring land to investors as soon as it is ready. This approach allows businesses to begin construction earlier and shortens project timelines.
According to Lê Trung Kiên, General Director of Chư Sê Rubber One Member Limited Liability Company, most legal procedures and land clearance challenges have been resolved. Compensation and resettlement work in key zones has largely been completed, enabling faster construction progress.
A key milestone was the provincial approval of the 1/2000-scale zoning plan, which sets the park’s total area at more than 205 hectares. The plan includes a structured layout and a connected internal road network, designed to facilitate logistics and production. Additional infrastructure such as regulating lakes and drainage systems has also been incorporated to improve flood control and operational stability.
Investor interest has grown alongside infrastructure improvements. To date, 14 investors have registered interest in approximately 50 hectares of land, while 11 companies have signed preliminary lease agreements covering more than 44 hectares. In 2025 alone, the park attracted two new projects with combined investment of around VND 850 billion (approximately USD 34 million).
Investment projects span sectors including agricultural processing, building materials, fertilizers, wood processing, and agricultural equipment. Among early entrants, Tiến Thịnh Group Joint Stock Company has begun construction on a 5.87-hectare site, with a total investment of USD 50 million. The project focuses on processing agricultural products such as fruit juice, frozen goods, dried fruit, coffee, and logistics services.
The company has already initiated foundation work while completing legal procedures to bring the factory into operation. Meanwhile, Tam Ba Production and Services Co., Ltd. has been licensed to develop a coffee and high-tech agricultural processing facility with an investment of VND 700 billion (approximately USD 28 million). The project is expected to produce nearly 12,500 tonnes annually.
Current occupancy at South Pleiku Industrial Park has reached over 30%, with authorities targeting 50% by the end of 2026 and full occupancy in subsequent years. The development strategy prioritizes large-scale, high-tech, and deep-processing projects that leverage the province’s abundant raw material base.
Strategically located along National Highways 14, 19, and 25, the park benefits from strong regional connectivity. It also sits within a key agricultural zone producing coffee, rubber, bananas, and pepper, critical inputs for value-added processing industries.
During a site inspection in February 2026, Gia Lai provincial authorities acknowledged progress and called for continued efforts to complete infrastructure, accelerate land clearance, and ensure timely land handovers. They also emphasized the need for selective investment, prioritizing financially capable and reputable enterprises with environmentally sustainable projects.
As infrastructure advances and investor confidence grows, South Pleiku Industrial Park is positioning itself as a focal point for industrial development in Gia Lai, with the potential to create jobs, boost local revenue, and drive economic transformation in the region.
