Diamond Boulevard: Dual Advantages from Metro Line 2 and Expanded National Highway 13

The Northeast Infrastructure Revolution: A Catalyst for Transformation

No longer a buffer zone, Ho Chi Minh City’s Northeast region is undergoing its most remarkable transformation in a decade. According to the 2025-2030 strategic report, the primary driver is the government’s commitment to enhancing inter-regional connectivity, turning the former Thuan An area into a natural extension of Thu Duc City. This infrastructure boom is reshaping the landscape and unlocking new opportunities.

This infrastructure surge has triggered a wave of young professionals relocating from central Ho Chi Minh City to the Northeast. Notably, the planned 60-story financial towers along National Highway 13 are creating a powerful magnet for jobs and commerce. The synergy between innovative planning and real population pressures (high demand for living/renting) positions the Northeast as the most liquid and valuable real estate market today.

At the heart of this transformation is the resolution of bottlenecks on the vital National Highway 13. Leveraging Resolution 98’s special mechanisms, the expansion of the road segment from Binh Trieu Bridge to Vinh Binh Bridge has been activated with a budget exceeding VND 21 trillion. Simultaneously, in the former Binh Duong area, National Highway 13 is undergoing a historic upgrade with an investment of over VND 1.3 trillion, expanding to 8 lanes (64m width).

Upon completion between 2026 and 2028, this transportation axis will become the “Financial-Commercial-Service Boulevard,” seamlessly connecting regions. Strategically located along this boulevard, Diamond Boulevard maximizes connectivity benefits and capitalizes on rising property values as infrastructure matures. Additionally, the accelerated progress of HCMC’s Ring Road 3 provides a strategic horizontal axis, enabling residents to swiftly connect to the Eastern region and Long Thanh Airport without traversing the city center.

Another highlight is the urban rail system. The Thu Dau Mot – HCMC Metro Line is accelerating legal procedures, with Diamond Boulevard enjoying a prime “station-adjacent” advantage near C7 Station. This is a key driver in minimizing travel time to HCMC’s center while ensuring sustainable property value appreciation.

Diamond Boulevard is adjacent to C7 Station on the Thu Dau Mot – HCMC Metro Line.

Global real estate trends and local examples, such as Hanoi Highway, demonstrate that properties in TOD zones, especially near stations, appreciate 15-30% faster than average. For instance, prices near An Phu Station (Metro Line 1) have surged from VND 28-36 million/m² to VND 70-120 million/m².

With the Metro system and ring roads completed, travel times from the Northeast to Tan Son Nhat Airport and HCMC’s administrative center will shrink to just 20-25 minutes, eliminating geographical barriers.

This is a critical factor attracting young professionals and experts who prioritize modern living and public transportation, ensuring high liquidity for the apartment complex.

Prime location offers dual benefits from transportation breakthroughs.

Beyond future infrastructure potential, Diamond Boulevard addresses immediate cash flow needs. The 2024 report highlights the Northeast’s record population density of 7,394 people/km² and 98.5% urbanization rate, making it a major domestic market. Retail giants like AEON Mall and Lotte Mart underscore its consumption power.

Strategically located in the industrial hub—adjacent to VSIP 1, Viet Huong Industrial Park, and Song Than—Diamond Boulevard serves tens of thousands of engineers, experts, and senior personnel. With limited high-quality, secure housing options, rental demand is exceptionally high.

Owning a Diamond Boulevard apartment means holding a dual-yield asset. Experts estimate rental yields at a stable 4.7%/year.

Price Valley and Superior Financial Leverage

Amid the Northeast’s rapid infrastructure development, Diamond Boulevard stands out with a starting price of just VND 35 million/m²—a “bottom-level” price for Highway 13 frontage properties. Comparable projects along Highway 13 or nearby areas are priced 20-30% higher.

Diamond Boulevard offers prices starting at VND 35 million/m² as Northeast infrastructure accelerates.

With a 10% down payment and flexible financing, reputable banks (Vietcombank, Vietinbank, PublicBank, TPBank, Agribank) offer up to 3 years of principal grace period.

The standout policy includes interest support until handover (Q2/2026) plus an additional 12 months, eliminating financial pressure during the first year of occupancy or rental operation, maximizing investment efficiency.

To meet the demand from professionals flocking to the Northeast, Diamond Boulevard offers a “Fully Furnished Move-In Ready” package valued at VND 130 million. Fully furnished units save time and costs, enabling immediate business operation.

With Highway 13 frontage, proximity to C7 Station, major industrial zones, complete legal status, and topped-out construction, Diamond Boulevard attracts with prices from VND 35 million/m² and flexible payment terms. It’s a prime investment choice in the Northeast before market prices adjust to the accelerating infrastructure progress.
