Riding the Metro Wave: Embracing a New Growth Trend
In major cities worldwide, metro systems serve as the backbone of sustainable development, fostering a chain of value across transportation, economy, urban planning, and real estate. In Vietnam, the emergence of urban rail systems (URS)/Metro is catalyzing a new growth cycle for areas with strategic connectivity.
Among these, Metro Line 02 (Thu Dau Mot to Binh Phuoc Intersection) is hailed as the “billion-dollar infrastructure lever” of the Southeast region, with a total investment of over 50.425 trillion VND (equivalent to 1.92 billion USD). Spanning nearly 23km with 13 stations along National Highway 13, which is expanding to 8-10 lanes, it directly connects to Hiep Binh Phuoc Station on Metro Line 3B. Line 3B includes 8 underground and 2 elevated stations, running from Cong Hoa Intersection through Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Xa Dan, and National Highway 13, ending at Hiep Binh Phuoc Depot.
Metro Line 02 not only links to Ho Chi Minh City’s center but also establishes vital regional connections, linking industrial zones, service hubs, and densely populated residential areas. This creates attractive opportunities for projects along the vital National Highway 13 corridor leading to the city center.
The Metro also drives the “centrifugal” trend, encouraging a significant shift in living environments for professionals, engineers, entrepreneurs, and young, dynamic residents—groups with real housing needs and a preference for modern transportation options.
Accelerated infrastructure fuels vibrant real estate growth in the Northeast region.
Data shows that areas within 800 meters of a Metro station consistently see price increases 15-30% higher than areas beyond this radius. Additionally, rental exploitation rates surge by up to 45% (2024 statistics), with rental prices rising 25-30% on average due to faster commuting and reduced reliance on personal vehicles.
Market surveys indicate that real estate prices near Metro lines in Ho Chi Minh City have increased by 15-40%, nearly doubling over five years since the launch of Metro Line 1. This trend is repeating along the “new Metro route” on National Highway 13. Moreover, rental occupancy rates near Metro lines remain high, particularly in developed cities like Bangkok, Singapore, and Seoul, where professionals and young residents prioritize living close to Metro stations for time efficiency and work productivity.
This makes the current period an ideal “golden opportunity” to capitalize on the new price growth cycle in Ho Chi Minh City’s Northeast region.
