The New Generation of Shop-Villas: The 8:120 Collection

The Strategic Intersection of Capital Flow and Real Demand

In the realm of commercial real estate investment, location not only influences liquidity but also plays a pivotal role in determining operational performance and price appreciation cycles. The 8:120 Collection, a new generation of shophouses at Vinhomes Wonder City, emerges as a strategic solution for investors seeking assets that offer both practical business potential and long-term capital appreciation.

The 8:120 Collection boasts a prime location at the crossroads of three major avenues: Ban Mai, Hung Dong, and Thai Duong. These internal commercial axes provide direct connections to inter-regional routes and are adjacent to key amenities within the large-scale Vinhomes Wonder City urban area, including Vincom Plaza, Vinschool, Vinmec, the internal bus station, and a 35-story office complex. The high connectivity, significant traffic flow, and bustling population density converge to create a hotspot for capital flow, where consumer demand and supply intersect.

Notably, The 8:120 Collection is positioned at the intersection of two core customer streams. On one side are stable residents of over 2,000 low-rise units and thousands of high-rise apartments that are gradually being occupied, representing long-term demand with genuine purchasing power. On the other side lies a stream of daily consumers from Vincom Plaza, Vinschool, Vinmec, the modern 35-story office towers, and a host of landscape amenities, squares, and regularly held community events.

This synergy creates ideal conditions for an integrated business model that can cater to both direct services and building a loyal customer base within the resident community. This key factor generates a sustainable value chain in modern service businesses, which is challenging for traditional downtown shophouses to replicate.

A Dual-Purpose Commercial Asset – Riding the Infrastructure Wave, Leading the Growth

The 8:120 Collection not only excels in its location but also offers versatile functionality. Each unit features an 8-meter-wide frontage, a 120-square-meter area, a separate 20- to 36-square-meter backyard, and a four-story structure, making it ideal for both residential and commercial use or for diverse rental models.

The spacious and highly visible front area suits chain stores, showrooms, banks, and service centers, while the secluded and tranquil backyard is perfect for developing homestays, upscale accommodation services, or boutique offices. This “two-in-one” concept opens up multiple options for capital utilization, adaptable to different market phases.

Moreover, the launch of The 8:120 Collection coincides with the resolution of a significant bottleneck along the Tay Thang Long axis: the relocation of over 400 households along the Pham Van Dong – Van Tien Dung section, clearing the way for the completion of the grand boulevard as planned in Q2 2026. Once opened, travel time from Wonder City to Tay Ho, Cau Giay, and My Dinh will be reduced to just 15 minutes, significantly reactivating the area’s real estate price appreciation cycle.

Currently, the primary price is from VND 160 million/sqm of land, significantly lower than the low-rise price along the same Tay Thang Long axis (which has reached VND 700-800 million/sqm). This considerable gap indicates ample room for price growth of up to 2-3 times, especially with infrastructures such as Thuong Cat Bridge, Hong Ha Bridge, Ring Road 3.5, and Ring Road 4 underway.

Data from Ocean City and Vinhomes Riverside further reinforce expectations of price appreciation: commercial low-rise properties have recorded average price increases of 10-15%/year, with exceptional cases reaching 60-70%/year for uniquely positioned and functional products during the infrastructure completion phase.

With its practical design, versatile functionality, prime location, limited supply, and attractive early-bird sales policies, The 8:120 Collection is entering the “golden window” for commercial investment. Amid a market that favors easily manageable assets with genuine cash flow and strong price appreciation potential, The 8:120 Collection stands as a strategic choice for investors seeking a balance between operational efficiency and long-term capital appreciation.
