Satellite Real Estate Investment with Centrifugal Trends

In the overall landscape of the real estate market in Q3/2025, according to a report from batdongsan.com.vn, Ba Ria – Vung Tau has risen to the top 3 in terms of interest among the satellite areas of Ho Chi Minh City. This is not just a statistic but a clear indication of a centrifugal trend—where investment capital is shifting towards satellite cities, where infrastructure is being upgraded daily.

Specifically, Ba Ria – Vung Tau is like a symphony of modern transportation with the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway, the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4, and Metro Line 1. All these harmonize to provide quick connections to Long Thanh International Airport, a global trade hub expected to open by the end of this year.

Additionally, the Component 3 project of the Bien Hoa – Vung Tau Expressway leverages local potential, reduces congestion on National Highway 51, and expands trade opportunities through the Cai Mep – Thi Vai Port. The Phuoc An Bridge, spanning the Thi Vai River, is ahead of schedule by 6 months and is expected to open for technical traffic by the end of 2026, connecting Phu My with Dong Nai as a vital link between two key economic regions.

Furthermore, a proposal for the Long Thanh – Ho Tram Expressway has been submitted to the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, opening a new connection between Long Thanh International Airport and the Ho Tram beach resort. The coastal road DT994, with a total investment of approximately 7 trillion VND, is nearing completion, with 6 lanes already in use since mid-2025, expanding development space for tourism, hospitality, and logistics.

All these infrastructure pieces are creating a comprehensive planning picture, attracting investment capital and residents seeking integrated living, working, and leisure solutions. According to batdongsan.com.vn’s Real Estate Consumer Psychology Report, expectations of price increases post-merger are fostering positive sentiment, especially in areas with clear planning and synchronized infrastructure. Notably, in Vung Tau, Phuoc Thang Ward (merged from Wards 11 and 12) stands out with its rapidly developing infrastructure and the convergence of favorable conditions, becoming a magnet for investor capital.

With Ba Ria – Vung Tau’s urbanization goal of reaching 70-72% by 2030, Phuoc Thang has become a focal point with numerous key urban projects. Statistics show that land prices for villas and townhouses in Phuoc Thang have increased by 24-37% over the past year.

According to experts, investment capital for residential and rental real estate is clearly shifting to satellite areas like Phuoc Thang. This area is meticulously planned with three key functional zones: the Chi Linh – Cua Lap tourism area, the North Phuoc Thang eco-urban area, and the North Vung Tau sub-zone. Notably, it is a “price valley” with attractive real returns, making it a top choice for savvy investors.

The Light City: A Beacon of Investment in the Rising East

Amidst the price surge in Phuoc Thang, The Light City shines as a bright gem in the new urban heart. More than just a real estate project, The Light City is an invitation for those with foresight, savvy investors ready to seize opportunities before the market revalues.

The sales policy at The Light City is not just about discounts but a deep understanding of capital flow and market psychology. A 6% discount for early transactions, complimentary Fusion Suites hotel vouchers, and more are tokens of appreciation for new homeowners who value life. Notably, the project offers flexible payment terms up to 18 months, with financial support from Vietbank, including a maximum loan of 100% of the capital plan, a loan term of up to 380 months, and a grace period of up to 36 months. Additionally, customers can choose loan packages from Vietcombank, HDBank, PGBank, and PVcomBank with preferential interest rates starting at 3.99% for up to 35 years.
