A highly anticipated social housing project is underway in the NO1 land lot of the new Ha Dinh urban area (Tan Trieu ward, Thanh Tri district). The project, a joint venture between UDIC, Haweicco, and DAC Hanoi, broke ground in December 2024 and occupies an area of 9,305 sq. m. Located just 800 meters from the Nguyen Trai – Khuat Duy Tien intersection, it is considered one of the most attractive social housing projects in Hanoi.
The NO1 land lot features a 25-story apartment building with office spaces, parking areas, and auxiliary technical facilities from the 1st to 5th floors. The residential area occupies the 6th to 25th floors, along with one basement level. In total, there will be 440 apartments, including 365 social housing units ranging from 70 to 76.24 sq. m.
Of the 365 social housing units, 255 are for sale, 37 are for rent-to-own, and 73 are for rent. The project is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2027.
According to the Hanoi Department of Construction, the tentative selling price for social housing units is VND 25 million per sq. m. At this rate, a 70 sq. m apartment in the Ha Dinh social housing project would cost approximately VND 1.75 billion. Meanwhile, the rent for social housing is expected to be VND 150,000 per sq. m per month, and the rent-to-own option is VND 390,000 per sq. m per month.
The timeline for receiving applications to purchase social housing units is expected to be in the fourth quarter of 2025. Applications can be submitted to the Ha Dinh New Urban Area Project Management Board office (located at 214 Nguyen Xien, Ha Dinh New Urban Area, Tan Trieu ward, Thanh Tri district).
According to our reporters, construction is well underway at the Ha Dinh social housing project, with workers and machinery currently working on the foundation and basement levels.
The project’s investors have stated that construction on the basement level is ongoing, and they anticipate meeting the conditions for sales by July 2025. As the project is located in a residential area, the transportation of construction materials has been challenging.
During an inspection of the project’s progress, Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Van Sinh instructed the investors to immediately report to the Hanoi Department of Construction and request a permit for daytime transportation of construction materials to expedite the construction process.
