“A green-certified and award-winning property, DEFINE raises the benchmark for residential projects in the country, combining luxury and sustainability to enrich the lives of our residents. Having sold all the units at DEFINE, we look forward to the launch of our first luxury residence in Hanoi, Heritage West Lake in 1H 2022,” added Mr Tay.
