The New Real Estate Investment Hub: Northeast Hanoi

The Emergence of New Supply

The first quarter of 2025 witnessed a significant shift in the real estate supply structure in Hanoi. While the western and eastern regions used to dominate with large-scale projects, Northeast Hanoi is now the hotspot and the leader in the number of properties on offer. Market reports show that during the first three months, this area contributed a large number of apartment units, far surpassing other traditional areas.

Investors highly appreciate this increase in supply as it reflects the long-term development potential of Northeast Hanoi. With its vast land area, location adjacent to the core of the capital, and proximity to the Hong River, projects in this area are expected to collectively create a vibrant and bustling “new city.”

Notably, the involvement of reputable developers such as MIK Group, Vinhomes, and Masterise has brought a high-quality product line, ranging from luxury apartments to villas and townhouses. This has made Northeast Hanoi a “hot spot” that any investor would want to step into, especially with the recovery of investment demand by about 40% compared to the same period last year, according to the Vietnam Real Estate Brokers Association.

Infrastructure as a Catalyst

Another crucial factor that has made Northeast Hanoi “hot” in the eyes of investors is the upcoming changes in transportation infrastructure, with the super-bridge Tu Lien being considered a significant boost. As planned, the construction of this bridge will officially start in the second quarter of 2025, as part of Hanoi’s strategy to develop 10 bridges across the Hong River by 2030.

Upon completion, the Tu Lien Bridge will reduce travel time from Dong Anh to the city center to just 5-10 minutes, a significant improvement from the current situation. This also means that the Northeast area will become the “gateway” directly connecting to the core of Hanoi.

Investors view infrastructure not just as a supporting factor but as a “launchpad” for real estate values. Experiences from other markets, such as Thu Thiem in Ho Chi Minh City, show that the appearance of major bridges always leads to a significant increase in the value of nearby real estate.

In fact, in Northeast Hanoi, the effect of “riding the infrastructure wave” has begun to emerge since the end of 2024, with land prices in Dong Anh district starting to rise. In addition to the Tu Lien Bridge, existing routes such as the Thang Long – Noi Bai highway, Vo Nguyen Giap street, and the extended National Highway 5 also form a synchronized transportation network, enhancing the connectivity of the area. This is why Northeast Hanoi attracts not only individual investors but also large real estate corporations, who are ready to invest in international-scale metropolises.

High-Quality Real Estate Products

In addition to new supply and infrastructure, product quality is the third factor that makes investors decide to invest in the Northeast Hanoi market. For example, among the baskets of products supplied to the market in early 2025, The Cosmopolitan (New Urban Area in Xuan Canh, Dong Hoi, Mai Lam, Dong Anh District, Hanoi) by MIK Group is considered a “bright star” with its unique and creative apartment concept and well-planned layout.

As part of the second phase of the Imperia Signature Co Loa complex within the Global Gate mega-city, The Cosmopolitan offers a range of premium apartments targeting global customers such as entrepreneurs, experts, and modern families.

The “Global-residences” standard applied by MIK Group to The Cosmopolitan brings a whole new definition to “luxurious living.” Accordingly, the apartments are delivered fully furnished with high-end interiors and integrated superior amenities such as Sky Lounge, infinity pool, co-working space, and a commercial center, inspired by leading international hotels. The project’s strategic location, just a few minutes away from Noi Bai International Airport, further enhances its value, making The Cosmopolitan a center for business and trade connections in the region.

For experienced investors, The Cosmopolitan is not just a place to live but also an asset with significant potential for appreciation. The combination of sophisticated design, premium amenities, and a convenient location near the Tu Lien Bridge makes this project a “trump card” in many investors’ portfolios. According to forecasts, when the Tu Lien Bridge is completed, the value of The Cosmopolitan could increase by at least 20-30% within 18-24 months, especially considering the limited supply of luxury apartments in Northeast Hanoi compared to the demand.
