The An Suong intersection, connecting National Highway 1A, National Highway 22, and Truong Chinh Street, serves as a pivotal transport hub and a catalyst for the real estate market, particularly in the shophouse segment.
Infrastructure development propels Northwest Ho Chi Minh City into a strategic growth cycle
The An Suong interchange, with an investment of nearly VND 500 billion, includes an underpass and expanded traffic routes. This project not only comprehensively alleviates long-standing congestion but also significantly reduces travel time from Ho Chi Minh City’s center to Tay Ninh and Long An provinces and even the Central Highlands region.
Moreover, Northwest Ho Chi Minh City’s infrastructure is accelerating with a series of strategic projects: Metro Line 2 (Ben Thanh – Tham Luong), Ho Chi Minh City – Moc Bai Expressway, and the expansion of National Highway 22. When synchronized, this system will transform the Northwest into a new development hub, attracting investment and boosting the real estate market.
Mr. Le H., Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association (HoREA), once remarked, “Infrastructure is the driving force behind the market. Where there are metro and expressway projects, property values soar. District 12 and Hoc Mon – Cu Chi are in this cycle, similar to what happened in Thu Duc with the implementation of Metro Line 1.”
District 12 surges ahead from the outskirts, cementing its position as the new growth epicenter
Just a decade ago, District 12 was considered a suburban area, rarely attracting attention. Today, its landscape has undergone a remarkable transformation due to rapid urbanization, a young population, and vibrant commerce.
According to statistics, District 12 currently has a population of over 600,000, ranking among the most populous districts in Ho Chi Minh City. With a young demographic structure, the demand for housing, services, and trade is on the rise. Commercial streets along Truong Chinh, Le Van Khuong, and National Highway 22 are becoming denser, attracting banks, convenience stores, and retail chains.
District 12’s landscape has been drastically transformed due to rapid urbanization, a young population, and increasing commercial demand.
Compared to central districts, land prices in District 12 are still 30-40% lower, while infrastructure is rapidly catching up. This is seen as a “price growth gap” by many investors, similar to the situation in Thu Duc from 2016 to 2018 when property values surged due to the metro and infrastructure projects.
An Suong Shophouses – A shining opportunity at the gateway to trade
In this wave, An Suong shophouses stand out due to their strategic location at the interchange. The project is conveniently located on a main road, adjacent to a traditional market and a densely populated area. This real estate type offers a “two-in-one” benefit: residential and commercial purposes.
With a large floating population, An Suong shophouses can be leased as stores, offices, cafes, or mini-supermarkets, providing investors with a stable monthly income instead of solely relying on asset appreciation.
An Suong Shophouses – A dual-profit opportunity in the heart of Northwest Ho Chi Minh City’s connectivity.
Market trends show that commercial and shophouse prices in District 12 have increased by 20-30% in the last three years. However, the current prices are still significantly lower than those in central districts, leaving ample room for future price growth, especially with the completion of the expressway and metro projects.
A golden opportunity to invest in shophouses
In the context of inflation and economic fluctuations, investors prioritize safe investment channels that preserve value and generate cash flow. Shophouses in prime trade locations like An Suong meet all the criteria: high liquidity, sustainable value, and dual profits (rentals + capital gains).
Mr. Nguyen M., Director of a major real estate agency in Ho Chi Minh City, commented, “With the construction of the Ho Chi Minh City – Moc Bai Expressway and the operation of Metro Line 2, District 12 will undergo a revaluation. Shophouses at gateways like An Suong will become a rarity, similar to the shophouse model in the eastern region a few years ago.”
Investing in commercial shophouses – A sustainable investment channel amid economic fluctuations.
Additionally, the “commercial practicality” aspect is a significant advantage. Many investors appreciate the ability to operate a business and reside in the same property, making shophouses a safe investment option, especially as capital tends to shift away from stocks and savings accounts.
The new focal point of Ho Chi Minh City’s real estate market
It is evident that the An Suong interchange not only solves traffic issues but also becomes an economic and social development catalyst for the entire Northwest region. With its infrastructure advantages, large population, and vibrant commerce, District 12 is gradually establishing itself as Ho Chi Minh City’s new growth epicenter.
An Suong Shophouses offer exceptional potential as the Northwest is predicted to be the ‘second Thu Duc.’
With investment capital flowing into peripheral real estate, An Suong shophouses possess all the elements to become a strategic product, serving both practical residential needs and sustainable investment objectives.
From now until 2030, when all major infrastructure projects are completed, many experts predict a significant increase in Northwest Ho Chi Minh City’s real estate values, even a “revaluation” similar to what happened in Thu Duc after its elevation to city status. And right at the heart of this Northwest gateway, An Suong shophouses present a rare opportunity for investors who can seize the moment.
