According to the investor’s website, the selling price of the social housing is VND 16.5 million per square meter, with areas ranging from over 38 to 59 square meters. This means that prospective homeowners will need to spend approximately VND 630-980 million to own an apartment.
Tien Giang province’s housing development plan for 2024 sets a target of completing 24,283 units, including 1,070 commercial and urban area units and 629 social housing units.
Information from the Ministry of Construction indicates that in the period 2021-2025, Tien Giang will implement 3,100 social housing units with an area of about 19 hectares. Of these, three projects have been approved for investment but not yet implemented, accounting for 1,295 apartments, and two projects have been licensed for construction, comprising 790 units.
