2026-2027 Infrastructure Cycle and the “Buying Zone” in Eastern Hanoi

Eastern Hanoi and the Infrastructure-Driven Price Cycle: The 2026-2027 Peak

Observing Hanoi’s real estate development cycles, from the West to the South and now the East, a clear pattern emerges: property prices surge most significantly not when infrastructure is complete, but during its peak implementation phase.

In the Eastern sector, a series of large-scale infrastructure projects are accelerating, creating a dual boost in urban connectivity and market sentiment. Notable projects include the Tu Lien Bridge, Thuong Cat Bridge, Hong Ha Bridge, Metro Lines 2 and 5, and Ring Roads 3.5 and 4.

According to the timeline, most of these projects will be completed between 2026 and 2027, a period many investors view as the tipping point for establishing a new price benchmark in the East. By then, real estate will benefit not only from reduced travel times but also from population shifts, capital flows, and commercial activities driven by infrastructure.

Notably, current property prices in the Eastern area remain in the “pre-infrastructure completion” phase. The price levels do not yet fully reflect future connectivity factors, while the infrastructure rollout plan is clearly defined. Seasoned investors argue that this phase offers lower opportunity costs compared to waiting for infrastructure completion, yet holds greater potential for price appreciation. In essence, investors can now assess property value growth based on tangible infrastructure progress rather than mere expectations, as seen in earlier cycles.

Buying Before Infrastructure Completion: Advantage Lies with Competitive Products

However, not all Eastern projects will benefit equally from infrastructure development. Amidst the growing diversity of supply in the East, the advantage shifts to projects like The Parkland within the Imperia Ocean City complex. Here, living spaces are meticulously planned, amenities are well-integrated, and the project is positioned from the outset to meet genuine residential needs. This is the type of product that maintains value and sustains growth as the market enters a new cycle.

The Parkland’s first advantage lies in its strategic location within Eastern Hanoi’s infrastructure shift. Residents can quickly access Ocean Park 2 & 3 amenities, reach AEON Mall Long Bien in 15 minutes, and connect to universities and sports complexes within a 5-minute radius. This connectivity not only serves daily needs but also forms a critical foundation for revaluing real estate once Eastern infrastructure is complete.

The Parkland’s next differentiator is its superior master planning. Spanning 33.68 hectares, the project adopts an urban archipelago model. Instead of spreading density, buildings are clustered into distinct groups, each functioning as a “living island” with a unique spatial identity. These clusters are interconnected by a soft landscape network of greenery and water features.

At the heart of the plan is a 3.6-hectare central park, the first of its kind in Ocean City, serving as the green core that regulates the entire living space. From this green axis, satellite parks are interspersed within each cluster, creating an interconnected landscape network that ensures greenery is omnipresent rather than localized.

Additionally, the project’s amenities are designed with a modern, multi-layered approach, encompassing walking paths, water features, sports areas, relaxation zones, and community spaces. This comprehensive offering fully meets residents’ needs for living, leisure, and connection.

The Parkland involves leading international consultants in key areas. The master plan is by NBBJ, a global architectural firm behind numerous iconic urban projects. Interiors are designed by Ong&Ong (Singapore), known for their expertise in Asian markets and focus on flexibility and sustainability for diverse resident groups, from young professionals to multi-generational families. The presence of these top-tier international brands guarantees product quality.

As Eastern infrastructure accelerates toward completion in 2026-2027, projects like The Parkland combine three critical factors: prime location benefiting directly from infrastructure, pre-cycle pricing, and planning quality that meets both residential and long-term investment needs. In a market increasingly prioritizing quality over quantity, such projects provide a solid basis for early investment decisions.
