From global powerhouse cities to dynamic urban centers such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the rule of “infrastructure first, real estate follows” is becoming increasingly evident.
Ring roads – a strategic link in global urban development
Around the world, many cities have witnessed a shift in their development center towards expansion – where the presence of strategic ring roads has brought about vibrancy and increased real estate values.
In London, the M25 Motorway ring road is considered a game-changer for the outskirts. What used to be quiet countryside areas are now bustling with commercial centers, technology parks, new towns, and headquarters of numerous corporations. In two decades, property prices here have surged by over 500%, proving the sustainable value of ring road infrastructure development.
Similarly, the rise of Pudong in Shanghai is closely linked to the planning of ring roads and a modern metro network. Within a few decades, this once-barren land across the Huangpu River has transformed into China’s financial and technological center, with property prices soaring more than tenfold, becoming a symbol of rapid urbanization.

Another example is Marina Bay in Singapore, which has seen a more than 400% increase in property values since 2000, following its direct connection to the East Coast Parkway (ECP) ring road and the integration of a smart urban plan with the MRT system. Today, Marina Bay is a premium central area boasting iconic landmarks such as Marina Bay Sands, bank headquarters, five-star hotels, and luxury apartments.
Vietnam and the opportunities presented by its ring roads
Alongside rapid urbanization, Vietnam has also witnessed the robust emergence of ring roads, especially in its two economic powerhouses: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Well-planned policies for connective transportation systems have opened up opportunities for urban space restructuring, anticipating the trend of population dispersal and the formation of modern satellite cities.
Looking back over a decade ago, the My Dinh – Cau Giay area was a peripheral area that drew little attention. However, with the completion of Ring Road 3, this area has become the new center of the capital, with numerous high-rise, office, hotel, and large-scale commercial projects. Land prices here have quadrupled or quintupled in the last ten years.

Similarly, in Ho Chi Minh City, there has been notable real estate growth in areas bordering Ring Road 2, benefiting Thu Duc, Binh Tan, and the East region. Meanwhile, Ring Road 3 is expected to be a “lever” for emerging areas such as Nhon Trach, Cu Chi, and Hoc Mon. Land prices in some areas along this route have increased by 30-50% in the last two years.
Galia Hanoi – A Strategic Location within Ring Road 3
As areas bordering ring roads witness exceptional real estate value appreciation, the luxury apartment complex Galia Hanoi stands out due to its prime location within Ring Road 3 – one of the most critical connective routes in the capital. This area is not only a commercial hub but also serves as a gateway for the convergence of intellectual residents and investors anticipating long-term growth potential.
Located on Do Muoi Street (Yen So Ward, Hoang Mai District), residents of Galia Hanoi can easily travel to any central district, inter-provincial highways, or the airport in a short time. Conversely, the project is also quickly accessible from anywhere in the city thanks to its advantageous connectivity to numerous critical transportation routes in Hanoi, including Ring Road 3. This is a key factor in ensuring Galia Hanoi’s long-term growth potential in the near future.

Galia Hanoi possesses the “golden” and immutable factor of real estate: location
Amidst the transformation of southern Hanoi and its rare location within the strategic Ring Road 3, Galia Hanoi promises to become a unique new icon, anticipating future value appreciation potential.
