Why Northern Investors Are Flocking to Northeast Ho Chi Minh City Apartments
By the end of Q3/2025, approximately 30% of total residential transactions in the South were from Hanoi investors, doubling the 2024 figure. Additionally, 61% of property searches in the South originated from Northern investors. Among these, the northeast region of Ho Chi Minh City has garnered the most attention, driven by its robust infrastructure, high rental potential, and significant price appreciation prospects.
Between 2025 and 2030, the northeast area will witness the completion of several key infrastructure projects: the expansion of National Highway 13 to 8-10 lanes by 2028, the Ring Road 3 operational by 2026, and the Ho Chi Minh City – Thu Dau Mot – Chon Thanh Expressway by 2027. Notably, the extended Metro Line 1 along My Phuoc – Tan Van and Metro Line 2 along National Highway 13 are prioritized for development.
Northeast Ho Chi Minh City’s infrastructure is undergoing a major overhaul, with numerous projects accelerating construction.
Beyond its impressive infrastructure, the northeast region is an industrial hub hosting major industrial parks like VSIP 1, Dong An, and Viet Huong. These attract tens of thousands of professionals, ensuring a vibrant rental market with over 90% occupancy rates, especially for properties near industrial zones and amenities like schools, hospitals, parks, and malls. Rental prices currently range from 9 to 12 million VND/month for two-bedroom apartments.
As demand for rentals from professionals surges, the supply of high-end apartments nearing completion remains scarce. This gap has become a magnet for Northern investors, who are increasingly acquiring ready-to-move-in units to capitalize on stable, high-potential tenant demand.
After two years of narrowing profit margins in Hanoi’s property market, Tran Nam (37, Cau Giay) shifted his investment focus to Ho Chi Minh City. “A 60m² apartment in a desirable Hanoi area costs nearly 5 billion VND, whereas a similar unit in Ho Chi Minh City is only 2.5–3 billion VND—40–50% cheaper. Coupled with robust infrastructure development and high housing demand, this made the move an obvious choice,” he explained.
Strategically, investors are targeting projects near ongoing infrastructure developments like Ring Road 3 and Metro lines, aiming to reap benefits upon completion.
Benhill – Premium Living for Professionals, Leading Investment Trends
Amid the investment surge in northeast Ho Chi Minh City, Benhill stands out as a prime choice for Northern investors. Strategically located near parks, schools, and within 2-5km of Aeon Mall Canary, MM Mega Market, Columbia International Hospital, An Phu General Hospital, Song Be Golf Course, and industrial parks like VSIP and Viet Huong, it offers unparalleled convenience. Additionally, it’s a 20-minute drive from Thu Dau Mot, providing access to Harmonie Golf Park, Twin Doves Golf Club, and the upcoming 1,500-bed Binh Duong General Hospital (2026).
Benhill is at the heart of future urban connectivity, just 200m from the extended Metro Line 1 station (New City – Suoi Tien) and 2km from the Metro Line 2 station (Thu Dau Mot – Hiep Binh Phuoc). Its superior infrastructure, amenities, and industrial proximity make it ideal for the growing rental demand.
The project features 841 apartments across 24 floors and 1 basement, offering 25 amenities including a 300m² pool, 5 sky gardens, 5 community lounges, and 2 floors of commercial services (cafes, restaurants, mini-marts, pharmacies, beauty salons, and healthcare facilities). These cater comprehensively to professionals and young residents.
Comprehensive amenities meet the high-end living standards of professionals.
Scheduled for handover in December 2025, Benhill is the northeast’s most anticipated project. Dat Xanh Mien Bac’s representative noted, “With handover imminent, numerous local businesses have contacted us to secure rentals for their staff and experts starting 2026. This underscores Benhill’s strong demand and potential.”
Beyond its prime location and rental appeal, Benhill’s pricing is competitive compared to similar projects. Investors need only 300 million VND in equity, with 70% bank financing at 0% interest for 18 months. Its “dual safety” policy includes a 2-year rental guarantee (10% of property value) and a buyback option at the original price after 2 years, minimizing risks and ensuring immediate cash flow.
With its strategic location, high rental demand, and secure investment terms, Benhill is a top choice for Northern investors in Ho Chi Minh City.
