The Allure of the Metro 1 “Hot Spot”
Since its inauguration, Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien) has marked a significant turning point for Ho Chi Minh City’s transportation infrastructure. The area along the line, especially around the Suoi Tien station, is emerging as the new “backbone” of the East thanks to its ability to reduce travel time to the center.
In fact, the price range of apartments along Metro Line 1 has increased by an average of 20% since the beginning of 2025 compared to 2024. Some projects, from 2015 to 2024, have seen increases ranging from 35% to 70% compared to their initial launch prices, depending on location and segment. Notably, projects with direct connections to metro stations have recorded a 30% increase in transactions compared to the same period in 2024. At the same time, high price growth and good price retention are attributed to real living demands and stable exploitation potential.
The volume of searches and transactions for apartments near Metro 1 has also doubled since its operation. Additionally, rental prices for apartments near Metro 1 currently range from VND 9-17 million/month, depending on the area, offering excellent rental yields.
According to experts, the appeal of this area is far from over as Ho Chi Minh City plans to invest in expanding and implementing more new metro lines in the near future.
The allure of Metro 1 has kept the area along the line in the “crosshairs” of homebuyers. Real demand continues to increase, especially from the iGen and Millennials groups working in nearby areas, seeking convenient housing that shortens travel time and offers long-term profit potential. However, the supply of primary apartments along Metro 1 is extremely limited. Most of the current transactions come from the secondary market with projects launched many years ago. In the last two years, this area has hardly seen any new projects.
Many opinions hold that this supply gap is pushing the market along Metro Line 1 into a phase of actual scarcity, creating a distinct advantage for any new project that emerges at the right time.
ArtStella – A New Breeze Fulfilling the Demand for Metro 1 Proximity
Amidst the market’s scarcity of new product supply along Metro Line 1, ArtStella stands out as one of the rare new projects with a prime location next to the Suoi Tien metro station. The project is developed by ATTLand in strategic cooperation with An Phong Group and BIDV Bank.
Located on the frontage of Thong Nhat Street, Dong Hoa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, ArtStella is just a few minutes away from Metro Line 1 and the new Eastern Bus Station. The project is also adjacent to the expanded 30/4 Street, providing quick connections to National Highway 1K and Hanoi Highway.

Moreover, ArtStella will directly benefit from two upcoming metro lines. One line will connect Suoi Tien to Ho Chi Minh City’s expansion area (formerly Binh Duong), and another will connect directly to Long Thanh International Airport, with station S0 located next to the project. These factors are expected to open up significant price growth potential for ArtStella in the coming years.
Additionally, the area where ArtStella is located is a convergence point for key transportation systems such as Belt Road 2, Belt Road 3, the expanded Hanoi Highway, and parallel roads. This implies that the project’s value will continuously appreciate with each phase of completed infrastructure.

ArtStella also leaves its mark with its unique oval design and the introduction of the novel Chill Home product line. This product line is ideal for both owner-occupiers and investors. With its proximity to Metro Line 1, residents can easily commute to high-tech parks, commercial centers, and prominent universities, catering to the dynamic lifestyle of young people and offering attractive rental potential.
From an investment perspective, ArtStella not only meets the demand for housing near Metro 1 but also presents a valuable investment opportunity, anticipating the strong growth wave of the real estate market in Ho Chi Minh City’s East in the coming time.

“Experts emphasize the importance of synchronized regional connectivity infrastructure for the smooth operation and economic efficiency of the Long Thanh International Airport. They caution that if the airport is completed while the construction, upgrade, and expansion projects of connecting roads remain unfinished, there is a significant risk of traffic congestion and waste of investment.”
