“It’s a challenging playground, and you need vision and flexibility,” says a representative from Savills Hanoi. She adds that capital is flowing back into real estate, especially for reasonably priced products with stable profit potential and carefully considered intrinsic value.
A long-time real estate investment expert suggests that for areas bordering large cities, investors should focus on urban projects located 30-40 minutes from the city center. As transport infrastructure develops and connects these areas, the value of real estate will increase significantly.
Overall, real estate remains a safe investment if you make the right choices. However, the market doesn’t offer many projects that meet all the criteria in terms of legal aspects, location, and genuine potential for price appreciation.
Market Waves Hit Can Giuoc – Ho Chi Minh City’s New Southern Economic Center
In JLL Vietnam’s Q1/2025 report, the average price of land in Ho Chi Minh City reached a record high of VND 430 million per square meter. As a result, there is an increasing trend of people looking for real estate in areas bordering Ho Chi Minh City.
On the satellite map south of Ho Chi Minh City, Can Giuoc holds a unique position, just a bridge away from the city. It is considered the new economic center due to two main factors:
Firstly, Phu My Hung and Hiep Phuoc are shaping the economic and logistics pillar of the entire South region, pulling along with the development of infrastructure connecting Can Giuoc and the Ho Chi Minh City center. Notably, Le Van Luong – DT826C route is planned to be expanded to 40m, and Rach Tom Bridge connecting Can Giuoc (old Long An) and Ho Chi Minh City has been officially started. Nguyen Huu Tho route is expected to commence construction in 2026, reducing travel time between Can Giuoc and Phu My Hung by 30%. Additionally, the route of metro line 4 connecting the West of the city – District 1 – District 7 – Hiep Phuoc (pre-merger administrative unit) has also been planned.
Secondly, Long An (formerly) is welcoming a wave of investment as many large corporations are developing eco-urban areas. Typically, Vinhomes Can Giuoc, a project by the joint venture of Vinhomes and VIG with a scale of 1,090ha, is currently carrying out land filling and preparing for project implementation on the occasion of September 2nd holiday.
Can Giuoc plays a pivotal role, connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Long An (formerly) while fully enjoying the advantages of infrastructure, industrial parks, and international seaports.
The 826 EC Commercial Urban Area – Solving the “Immediate Profit” Equation
Although located in Can Giuoc, the 826 EC Commercial Urban Area (Vinh Truong Residential Area project) has a better distance and travel time compared to inner-city areas, as it is the closest urban area to Ho Chi Minh City in Can Giuoc.
Specifically, it is just one step away from Housewife (pre-merger), 3 minutes from Hiep Phuoc Port, 15 minutes from Phu My Hung, and over 20 minutes from District 1 (formerly). Thanks to its location on the two main roads, DT826E (40m) & DT826C (50m wide), traveling is convenient and free from traffic jams. When Nguyen Huu Tho, Le Van Luong, and metro line 4 are completed, the time will be reduced, and property prices will increase sharply, approaching the inner-city level.
The 826 EC Commercial Urban Area is an ideal place for living and investing, possessing an “elite gene” in terms of location, legal aspects, and selling price.
The 826 EC project is one of the few remaining clean land funds in the market, with complete legal documentation and individual red books for each land lot. In addition, at the 826 EC Urban Area, customers can freely build houses when they have sufficient financial resources without being pressured by time regulations or design models.
Especially, the urban area is applying a series of incentives such as only VND 560 million is needed to pre-own a bustling commercial townhouse, payment is extended up to 18 months, ACB, MB Bank, and VietinBank systems support loans up to 70% within 30 years, support interest for 15 months, and grace period for principal payment up to 24 months. According to DKRA Realty – the project’s Total Marketing & Distribution Agency, the reasonable price along with the flexible payment method are factors that help the 826 EC Commercial Urban Area meet the market’s needs.
The 826 EC Commercial Urban Area becomes a vibrant destination on weekends, where families can relax and bond.
Not only is it a safe investment, but the 826 EC Urban Area also brings a vibrant and inspiring rhythm with a series of unique experiences such as artistic kite flying, workshops, magic shows, and outdoor movie screenings,… Within a radius of 5-8km from Phu My Hung, the 826 EC project is one of the few urban areas that organize large-scale entertainment programs on weekends, becoming a colorful destination for families. This vibrant lifestyle will not only happen on weekends but also become a part of everyday life in the near future at the 826 EC Commercial Urban Area.
