Why STown Gateway is the Project Worth Investing in Right Now?

Benefits of the HCMC Integration Proposal: STown Gateway Leads the Way in Anticipating Price Increases

The proposal to integrate Ho Chi Minh City with other provinces is being fast-tracked for completion. Per the plan, the resolution will take effect from September 1, 2025, and the new HCMC will be operational from September 15.

Thuan An city, which will be integrated into HCMC, becomes the northeast development hub of this special urban area. This is considered a crucial factor, opening up strong growth potential for the real estate market in Thuan An, especially in the affordable housing segment, which is in high demand from both owner-occupiers and rental investors.

In reality, Thuan An boasts many advantages: high population density, large industrial parks, and stable accommodation needs. The integration with HCMC will not only bring administrative, educational, and healthcare policy benefits but also stimulate population and investor migration from the inner city to the satellite area. This is the driving force behind the expected price increases and strong FDI attraction in the coming years.

In the short term, the integration news is creating a positive psychological effect on the market, pushing prices upwards. In the long term, the boundary adjustment will contribute to reshaping HCMC’s entire real estate ecosystem, aiming for modern, sustainable, and profound 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 area planned for expansion according to HCMC’s new boundaries. Once officially integrated, residents here will not only have access to central urban living standards but also have their assets revalued according to HCMC’s price levels instead of a satellite city’s prices as they are now.

In the context of a positively recovering market, the integration proposal is a strategic boost, helping investors anticipate price increases. With evident potential in location, planning, and policies, STown Gateway is an ideal choice for early investment, riding the wave of growth and taking advantage of preferential policies as the area transforms into a part of the new HCMC.

Attractive Pricing and High Rental Potential with a Prime Location Next to Key Industrial Zones

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

Located in the northeast center of HCMC, STown Gateway enjoys the prime location advantage of the key transport hub of National Highway 13. This arterial 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.

Besides its convenient infrastructure, STown Gateway is in an area with a high population density and a complete range of amenities, including schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and supermarkets. These factors make the project suitable for both owner-occupiers and rental investors.

Notably, the area’s yield mainly comes from the increasing rental demand, especially from experts, engineers, and highly skilled workers in the neighboring industrial complexes. 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 VND 1.86 billion for a 2-bedroom apartment, “0 VND/month payment until the handover,” and discounts and gifts of up to 8%, STown Gateway offers an attractive investment opportunity. The expected rental yield is VND 7-10 million/month for 1-2-bedroom apartments, providing a solid foundation for investors to aim for stable cash flow right after the handover.

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

Amid the real estate market’s intense purification process, projects with complete and transparent legal documentation like STown Gateway become the top choice for homebuyers and long-term investors. This not only ensures legal safety but also serves as a “golden passport” that affirms the developer’s capability and reputation.

With over 20 years of experience in the market, STC Corporation is known as a reputable developer, having successfully implemented numerous high-quality housing and apartment projects: STown Thu Duc, STown Tham Luong, STown Phuc An, SPlus Riverview, and Sun Garden Da Lat (all delivered, with ownership certificates issued or in progress). STown Gateway is 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 cornerstone for homebuyers to rest assured of their ownership and for investors to confidently invest,” shared a representative of STC Corporation.

In the market’s purification phase, projects like STown Gateway not only have a significant competitive edge but also open up opportunities for smart buyers to own valuable assets with genuine legal status and profitability.
