The Urban Townhouse: A Surefire Cash Flow Equation in Lao Cai City Center

Lao Cai City Real Estate Enters a Golden Cycle Thanks to 3 Key Infrastructure Megaprojects

Never before has Lao Cai City experienced such a significant turning point as it does now, with the development of three key strategic national infrastructure megaprojects: the high-speed railway connecting Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong – Kunming (China); the Lao Cai International Airport; and the expansion of the Hanoi – Lao Cai expressway.

The most significant milestone will be the construction of Vietnam’s first high-speed railway, linking Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong – Kunming (China), with a total investment of 8 billion USD, set to begin construction by the end of this year. This railway will serve as a backbone for promoting border gate economic growth, enhancing the value of Vietnamese exports to China, and facilitating the flow of tourists from Kunming – Yunnan to Lao Cai.

Previously, the Lao Cai – China high-speed railway boosted the export growth of the two countries by 51 and 89 times, respectively, while tourism grew by 48 and 169 times. This clearly demonstrates the potential for Lao Cai to take a significant leap forward once the expressway is completed.

In parallel, the Lao Cai International Airport, expected to be operational by 2027, will open up travel options for domestic and international visitors from the central and southern regions. The airport will not only facilitate international travel but also spur domestic tourism and attract investment, driving the demand for accommodation, resorts, and commercial developments.

Additionally, the expansion of the Noi Bai – Lao Cai expressway to four lanes, commencing construction by the end of this year, will alleviate traffic congestion and enhance cargo and passenger transportation capacity in the region.

With the simultaneous operation of these three strategic transportation axes, Lao Cai will emerge as a leading hub for trade, tourism, and logistics in Northern Vietnam. As China is Vietnam’s largest trading partner, with a trade value of 260 billion USD in 2024, mainly through northern border gates, the development of the railway and expressway further solidifies Lao Cai’s role as a pivotal node, underscoring its position as the economic capital and powerhouse of the Northwest. As a result, Lao Cai emerges as a “golden land” for investors who recognize its untapped potential. Especially with its status as the economic, cultural, and social center and its possession of an international border gate, Lao Cai City will be the biggest beneficiary of these infrastructure catalysts.

Lao Cai City Center Properties – A Secure Investment for 2025

Amidst the golden era of Lao Cai’s real estate market, HPX Golden Lao Cai presents a valuable investment opportunity for discerning investors. Industry experts believe that the project’s timing aligns perfectly with the convergence of “heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony.”

HPX Golden Lao Cai is strategically located in the new center of Lao Cai City

Firstly, the three key infrastructure megaprojects are concentrated in the 2025-2027 period, marking a pivotal phase in the province’s development. This timing presents a unique window of opportunity, as real estate prices are still relatively compressed, offering investors the chance to acquire properties at lower costs with high potential for capital appreciation. As Lao Cai solidifies its role as the regional hub for logistics, tourism, and commerce, the value of real estate in the area will multiply exponentially.

Secondly, HPX Golden Lao Cai boasts a strategic location in the city’s new center, where numerous landmark projects are concentrated, including a sports stadium, a sports center, and several new hospitals. With a scale of 5.5 hectares and only 301 units, of which approximately 85% are shophouses, the project combines rarity with practical value. Notably, the project is located opposite the Canada International School – the only international school in the Northwest – and just 9km from the international border gate, seamlessly connecting education, residential, and cross-border trade.

HPX Golden Lao Cai’s prime location fosters a vibrant street and sustainable cash flow

The project’s advantages are further accentuated by its proximity to a social housing complex comprising over 2,000 apartments, expected to accommodate approximately 10,000 residents. The first two towers will be operational by the end of this year, providing an immediate pool of potential customers for investors in shophouses, enabling them to start their businesses without delay.

With its prime location, HPX Golden Lao Cai is poised to become a bustling commercial hub, attracting a diverse range of customers, including residents from the apartment complex, students from the international school, locals, tourists, and business people from the border gate. The shophouses offer a generous frontage of 6m-6.5m and a height of up to four stories, accommodating various business models such as F&B, fashion, showrooms, mini-hotels, spas, clinics, offices, and educational institutions.

Combining all its superior attributes, prime timing, and practical business potential, HPX Golden Lao Cai (located on the extended B6 road, B10 road, and TT12 road, in Bac Leng and Binh Minh wards, Lao Cai City) presents a secure and lucrative investment opportunity for 2025 that should not be overlooked.
