In the first half of 2025, Hai Phong’s GRDP (post-merger) reached VND 209.668 trillion, 1.5 times higher than the national average, showcasing the local economy’s robust momentum. The merger with Hai Duong has created a mega-urban area spanning over 3,194 km² with a population of 4.6 million, unlocking unprecedented development opportunities.
Within the first six months, the city attracted USD 1.3 billion in FDI and over 3,300 new businesses, drawing a wave of high-quality experts, professionals, and workers. This influx has directly fueled the rental real estate market, particularly in the mid to high-end segment, where investment capital is being optimized significantly.
Amid this context, The Zenith Hai Phong, located in Kien An District, has emerged as a focal point for investors due to its prime location in the city’s new center. The project is just minutes away from AEON Mall Hai Phong and Vinmec Hospital, with quick access to Trang Due and Dinh Vu Industrial Zones via the Ring Road 2. This strategic position ensures a stable tenant base of high-income individuals seeking quality living standards.
Optimized Investment Products for Cash Flow
With 508 apartments, The Zenith Hai Phong demonstrates a deep understanding of the market through its meticulously structured product mix. Two-bedroom units account for 82.4% of the total, aligning perfectly with the most sought-after rental segment in Hai Phong. This configuration caters not only to young families but also to foreign experts and relocated professionals.
The project’s standout feature is its “Green – Smart – Clean” concept, a first in Hai Phong. Advanced water and air filtration systems, coupled with smart home technology, elevate the living experience and position the development as a top choice for high-paying tenants. These amenities create a distinct competitive edge, ensuring high occupancy rates and stable rental prices.
Two-bedroom apartment space at The Zenith Hai Phong – optimized design for living and rental income generation.
To illustrate the income potential, consider a 66m² (net area) two-bedroom apartment priced from VND 2.3 billion (inclusive of VAT) after discounts. Given its proximity to AEON Mall, Vinmec, and major industrial zones, this unit can command a monthly rent of VND 10-12 million. After deducting 10% for management and maintenance fees, the annual net income ranges from VND 108 to 129.6 million. This translates to a rental yield of 4.5-5.6% per annum, with property value appreciation driven by infrastructure development and market demand.
Breakthrough Support Policies Enhance Investment Efficiency
The income potential becomes even more compelling with the project’s financing support. VPBank and VietinBank offer loans covering up to 70% of the property value, with a 0% interest rate for 18 months and a principal grace period of 18-36 months. VietinBank borrowers also receive an additional 1.5% discount.
Early payment discounts of 6.5%, combined with an 11% annual cash flow incentive, further enhance returns. Investors can maximize profits from the outset with a reasonable initial capital outlay.
Financial experts note, “The high-end rental market in Hai Phong faces a shortage of quality supply. With ongoing industrial growth and administrative shifts, demand is set to rise in the coming years.”
The Zenith Hai Phong is scheduled for handover in Q1 2026, coinciding with the peak of the local rental market as infrastructure and industrial projects near completion. Amidst strong migration trends and continued FDI inflows, The Zenith Hai Phong stands as a strategic choice for investors seeking sustainable and efficient real estate income in this booming port city.
