“Long An: The Surge of Investment with the Activation of Belt Road 4”

Ho Chi Minh City’s Fourth Ring Road Super Project Officially Enters the National Assembly

On the afternoon of June 12, the National Assembly held a plenary session in the hall to hear the Proposal and Review Report on the investment policy for the construction project of Ho Chi Minh City’s Fourth Ring Road. With an initial investment of approximately VND 120,400 billion, the project is expected to commence in early 2026 and be completed by 2028. It is hoped that the project will contribute to the completion of Ho Chi Minh City’s transportation system, reduce urban pressure, and support the development of satellite towns such as Nhon Trach (Dong Nai), Thu Duc (Ho Chi Minh City), Thuan An (Binh Duong), and Duc Hoa (Long An)…

The Fourth Ring Road has a total length of over 207km and seamlessly connects five localities: Ho Chi Minh City (16.7km), Binh Duong (47.95km), Dong Nai (46km), Ba Ria – Vung Tau (18.2km), and Long An (78.3km). Accounting for more than one-third (nearly 40%) of the total length of the “super ring road,” Long An emerges as a strategic focal point, affirming its new central position on the regional development map.

The Fourth Ring Road serves as the “lifeline of trade,” connecting Long An with Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Long Thanh Airport, and Cai Mep – Thi Vai Port. The shortened geographical distance, along with optimized logistics costs, provides a strong boost to Long An, enhancing its competitiveness as the Mekong Delta provinces simultaneously enter the race to attract investment capital.

As the industrial capital of Long An, Duc Hoa currently boasts 13 industrial parks spanning over 5,100 hectares. In 2024 alone, the area attracted nearly 1,100 businesses, including 531 FDI enterprises with a total capital of over $2.8 billion.

A large influx of experts, engineers, and highly skilled laborers has elevated Duc Hoa’s population to over 350,000 people, nearly 100,000 of whom are young intellectuals with an average income growth of 12% per year. This has led to a distinct demand for high-quality housing. With the convergence of infrastructure, industry, and urban areas, Duc Hoa has transformed into a new golden land in the northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, attracting significant investor interest.

Convergence Point of “Smart Money”

In addition to benefiting from the Fourth Ring Road, the real estate market in Duc Hoa is also experiencing a boost thanks to the development of strategic infrastructure. Notably, four major roads stand out: the extended Vo Van Kiet Street connecting to Duc Hoa, the new Northwest Road (nearly 10km long, connecting from Ho Chi Minh City’s Second Ring Road to the boundary of Long An), National Highway 50B, and the Ho Chi Minh City – Moc Bai Expressway, and the Gia Nghia – Chon Thanh Expressway. Furthermore, the planned regional logistics center in Long An, along with large industrial parks such as Duc Hoa 3, Tan Duc, and Hai Son, provide a solid foundation for the development of the Northwest region, with Duc Hoa as the strategic connection point for the logistics supply chain and transportation infrastructure in the entire region.

The Northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, with its role as an industrial center and a hub for a young population, is shaping the profile of a new generation of investors: more cautious, deeply knowledgeable about the market, and expecting real value from their investments. This new generation is not easily swayed by temporary “virtual waves” but instead prioritizes solid choices: projects by reputable developers, transparent legal frameworks, clear development orientations, strategic locations, and a focus on actual needs.

Amid the vibrant industrial development in Duc Hoa – the CBD of Northwest Ho Chi Minh City, Vinhomes Green City satisfies both residential and investment demands, as the area is forming a new urban core.

Developed by Vingroup and commenced in March 2025, the project spans an area of 197.2 hectares, divided into five separate subdivisions with a total of 4,572 residential units, ranging from shophouses, adjacent business houses, business villas to premium villas. The project also seamlessly integrates premium office buildings and apartments, flexibly catering to both residential and long-term investment needs of the new generation of prosperity.

The living space at Vinhomes Green City is designed according to the “city within a city” model, incorporating the quintessential Vinhomes standard of living and a pioneering “All-in-One” ecosystem in the Northwest of Ho Chi Minh City: a vast internal park, a bustling commercial center, a modern sports-cultural-entertainment complex, and a 24/7 closed-circuit security system. With its modern living environment and the formation of a community of elite residents, the project is considered the epitome of contemporary living standards in the new growth pole in the Northwest.

With real estate prices significantly lower than those in the core central areas of Ho Chi Minh City and the promotion of inter-regional infrastructure, Duc Hoa offers substantial growth potential. As the market reshapes the price equilibrium, products with clear legal frameworks, well-planned designs, and reputable developers are attracting significant attention.

The synergy between infrastructure development strategies and the rapid industrial and population growth is transforming Duc Hoa and the Northwest of Ho Chi Minh City into a new growth pole. This may be a phase that redefines the market, and making the right choices at the right time can offer long-term advantages.
