“Riding the Offshore Wave”: A Sustainable Strategy Attracting Northern Investors to the South

In just two years, capital inflows from Northern investors into the Southern market have reached approximately 30% of transactions, doubling compared to the same period last year. Most investors are targeting properties priced between $100,000 and $130,000, aiming for a quick 7–10% profit within 12–24 months. Experts warn that this “hit-and-run” strategy could distort supply and demand, creating risks of a bubble and liquidity pressure when mass profit-taking occurs. In recent years, the “flipping” approach has been gradually replaced by long-term investment strategies, focusing on properties with clear legal frameworks, robust infrastructure, and sustainable cash flow potential. The Western region of Ho Chi Minh City, particularly the former Binh Chanh gateway, is emerging as a safe and sustainable investment choice for Northern investors.

Binh Chanh: A Stable Hub of Opportunities

As the gateway connecting the Southwest region via National Highway 1A, Vo Van Kiet, expressways, and new routes to Tay Ninh and Dong Thap, Binh Chanh is a strategic focal point in the city’s West. Ho Chi Minh City is accelerating infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, underpasses, and ring roads, significantly reducing travel times and enhancing the appeal of real estate in this gateway area.

Additionally, Binh Chanh’s growth is fueled by large-scale industrial and logistics zones such as Vinh Loc, An Ha, Le Minh Xuan, and Le Minh Xuan 2. The city plans to develop pharmaceutical parks and clean technology sectors to attract new FDI. The stable job market and resident population drive sustainable demand for housing, accommodation, and services, which are crucial for low-rise real estate liquidity. The most significant infrastructure catalyst is Ring Road 3, a 76km project with an investment of over $3.3 billion, connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Dong Nai. By late October 2025, 63% of the Ho Chi Minh City section was completed, with technical completion targeted for December 19, 2025. Upon completion, land prices in areas along the route are expected to rise further due to improved regional connectivity and the emergence of new industrial belts.

A Secure Haven for Long-Term Investment Potential

Amid the rapidly developing infrastructure and industrial landscape, investors in Binh Chanh should focus on developers with strong legal frameworks, clean land banks, and controlled supply strategies. Instead of fueling short-term market frenzies with mass sales, low-rise projects here prioritize legal completion, quality living standards, and practical exploitation. Experienced investors view this as a critical filter to capture long-term growth potential from infrastructure and population shifts to the West.

The Meadow, the only townhouse and villa project in Binh Chanh developed by international developer Gamuda Land, is a strategic location for medium to long-term investment. Situated on Tran Van Giau Street in Tan Vinh Loc Commune, it serves as a key connector between Western Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces.

The Meadow – A Sustainable Mid to Long-Term Investment Opportunity

With a construction density of only 35%, The Meadow (Gia Phu Residential Area, Vinh Loc B Commune, Binh Chanh District) focuses on creating a civilized community with ample green spaces and internal amenities for residents.

Developed by international developer Gamuda Land, The Meadow embodies the “Peaceful Living” concept, offering flexible townhouse and villa options suitable for both living and rental purposes. The project’s strengths lie in its legal clarity and progress: fully permitted, transparent legal status, and over 95% construction completion, ready for handover in 2026. This ensures investors can secure their properties and realize cash flow. Combined with the advantages of Ring Road 3 and nearby industrial zones, The Meadow offers both price appreciation potential and a “safety margin” for long-term Southern capital inflows.

Positioned as a sustainable investment hub in Ho Chi Minh City, The Meadow leverages its strategic location, robust infrastructure, transparent legal framework, and limited product nature. It stands as the optimal and secure choice for Northern investors seeking to tap into long-term opportunities in Ho Chi Minh City.
