Why STown Gateway is the Project Worth Investing in Right Now

Benefiting from the HCMC Integration Proposal – STown Gateway “Anticipating” Price Increases

The proposal to integrate HCMC with other provinces is being expedited for completion. According to the plan, the resolution will take effect from September 1, 2025, and the new HCMC will be operational from September 15.

Thuận An city is one of the localities to be integrated into HCMC, becoming the northeastern development center of this special urban area. This is considered an important factor, opening up strong growth potential for the real estate market in Thuận An, especially in the affordable housing segment, which is currently in high demand from both end-users and rental investors.

In reality, Thuận An has many advantages: high population density, large industrial parks, and stable accommodation needs. The integration into HCMC will not only bring administrative, educational, and healthcare policy benefits but also promote the migration of residents and investors from the inner city to the satellite area. This is the driving force behind the expected price increases and the strong attraction of FDI in the coming time.

In the short term, the integration information is creating a positive psychological effect on the market, causing an upward trend in prices. In the long term, the adjustment of the geographical boundary will contribute to reshaping the entire HCMC real estate ecosystem, aiming for modern, sustainable, and in-depth development. This brings significant added value to the integrated areas.

One of the prominent projects that fully inherits the advantages of this proposal is STown Gateway, located in the expanded planning area according to HCMC’s geographical boundaries. When officially integrated, residents here will not only have access to living standards of the central urban area but also have their assets revalued according to HCMC’s price level, instead of the current satellite city price.

In the context of a positive market recovery, the integration proposal is a strategic boost, helping investors anticipate price increases. With obvious potential in location, planning, and policies, STown Gateway is an ideal choice for early investment – anticipating trends, taking advantage of growth margins, and receiving preferential policies when the area transforms into a part of the new HCMC.

Attractive pricing and great rental potential with a prime location next to key industrial zones

According to data from the report “Panorama of Binh Duong Apartment Market 2024” by Batdongsan.com.vn, the rental yield of apartments in Binh Duong is currently averaging 4.7%/year, surpassing Hanoi (3.7%) and HCMC (3.6%). On average, luxury apartments in Binh Duong (selling price of about 45-50 million VND/sqm) are being rented out at 12 million VND/month for a 1-bedroom unit, 15-16 million VND for a 2-bedroom unit, and up to 18-20 million VND for a 3-bedroom unit. Meanwhile, with the same purchase price, apartments in Hanoi or HCMC can only be rented out for 7-12 million VND depending on the area.

Located in the northeastern center of HCMC, STown Gateway enjoys the prime location advantage of the key transport hub of National Highway 13 – the main road is about to be expanded to 60m with 10 lanes, combined with a 4-lane elevated road 3.2km long, expected to commence in Q3 2026. This location allows easy connections to Thu Duc City, Binh Thanh District, or large industrial parks such as VSIP 1, Viet Huong, and Song Than within 15-20 minutes.

Not only convenient in terms of infrastructure, STown Gateway is also located in an area with a high population density and a complete system of amenities such as schools, hospitals, commercial centers, and supermarkets. These factors make the project suitable for both end-users and rental investment purposes.

Notably, the yields in this area mostly come from the increasing rental demand, especially from experts, engineers, and highly skilled workers in the neighboring industrial parks. Thanks to its proximity to key industrial clusters, STown Gateway benefits significantly from this stable and long-term demand.

With a selling price starting from only 1.86 billion VND for a 2-bedroom apartment, “0 VND/month payment until the handover”, discounts, and gifts of up to 8%, STown Gateway offers an attractive investment opportunity, with an expected rental yield of 7-10 million VND/month for 1-2-bedroom apartments. This provides a solid foundation for investors to aim for stable cash flow right after the project is handed over.

Completed Legal Procedures – A Significant Competitive Advantage Over Other Projects in the Area

In the context of a strong real estate market correction, projects with complete and transparent legal procedures like STown Gateway become the top choice for home buyers and long-term investors. This not only ensures legal safety but also serves as a “golden passport” affirming the competence and reputation of the investor.

With over 20 years of experience in the market, STC Corporation is known as a reputable investor, having successfully developed numerous high-quality housing and apartment projects such as STown Thu Duc, STown Tham Luong, STown Phuc An, SPlus Riverview, and Sun Garden Da Lat (all delivered, with ownership certificates issued or in the process of being issued), and STown Gateway, expected to be handed over in Q4 2026.

“With STown Gateway, STC Corporation continues to affirm its development philosophy based on a solid legal foundation and real value. This is an important foundation for homebuyers to rest assured of their ownership and for investors to confidently invest.” – STC Corporation representative shared.

In the current market correction phase, projects like STown Gateway not only have a significant competitive advantage but also open up opportunities for smart buyers to own real assets with real value, real legal status, and real profitability.
