Yên Bái’s New Stature on the Administrative and Regional Development Map
On June 18, 2025, the National Assembly officially passed a resolution on the rearrangement of administrative units at the provincial level. As a result, Yen Bai and Lao Cai provinces will be merged into a new administrative unit, with the political and administrative center located in Yen Bai. This is considered a strategic decision, elevating Yen Bai’s status as a new center of governance, while boosting economic, infrastructure, and urban development across the region.
This geopolitical shift is expected to create a significant stimulus for the Yen Bai real estate market. With its strategic geographical advantage, located between key provinces such as Lao Cai, Tuyen Quang, and Phu Tho, along with an ever-improving infrastructure network, including the Noi Bai-Lao Cai expressway, National Highway 70, and the future high-speed railway, Yen Bai is emerging as the region’s new connectivity hub.
Additionally, Yen Bai’s real estate prices remain reasonable and lower compared to neighboring areas, presenting an attractive growth potential for early investors. Experts believe that the administrative merger in 2025 will fuel vigorous urban development, offering clear profit opportunities for centrally located projects with well-planned and integrated designs.
Yen Bai Riverside – The Investment Focus Post-Merger
Located in the heart of the current Yen Bai city, which is poised to become the new administrative capital of the merged province, the Yen Bai Riverside urban area is one of the projects that will directly and significantly benefit from this historical stimulus.
The project boasts a prime location, offering a “river-side, street-side, market-side, and park-side” experience, stretching along the Red River and encompassing the vital Bach Lam road axis, which is increasingly connecting key administrative, industrial, and commercial hubs of the city.
Yen Bai Riverside offers a diverse range of products, including villas, adjacent houses, and shophouses.
Spanning almost 24 hectares, Yen Bai Riverside is meticulously planned with four functional subdivisions: the Hoa Ban Lake Subdivision, the Bach Lam Subdivision, the City Square Subdivision, and the City Market Subdivision, forming a harmonious and modern eco-urban complex in the new center.
The project provides a diverse range of products, including villas, adjacent houses, and shophouses, catering to investment, residential, and long-term business needs. Notably, Yen Bai Riverside is one of the few projects with completed technical infrastructure and approved 1/500 planning, ensuring transparent legal procedures, a key factor in giving investors confidence to invest as the market enters a new price hike cycle.
The establishment of the new provincial administrative center in Yen Bai will also bring about a series of positive developments: a wave of public investment, relocation of agencies, an increase in mechanical population, and heightened demand for housing and services.

In this context, Yen Bai Riverside is not only a pioneering model urban area but also a strategic focal point, possessing the “right time, right place, and right people” factors to become the new urban symbol of Yen Bai post-merger.
The market is shifting daily, and opportunities do not come often. With the new administrative center taking shape, the supply of central land is becoming increasingly limited, and real estate prices are entering a new establishment cycle, investing in Yen Bai Riverside is not only a timely decision but also a visionary investment move, anticipating the upcoming trends.
