When Capital Flows Seek New Opportunities
According to an analysis by the Vietnam Real Estate Market Research and Evaluation Institute (VARS IRE), apartment prices in Hanoi are not only holding steady but are even accelerating, with an increasing number of projects launching at over 100 million VND per square meter.
VARS IRE reports that the benchmark price for high-end primary apartments (first-time sales) in Hanoi has set a new record, averaging 95 million VND/m², surpassing Ho Chi Minh City. Over 43% of new supply in Q3 was priced above 120 million VND/m².
Sky-high property prices have narrowed the margin for price increases, reducing their appeal to investors. Additionally, the high capital values exceed the financial capacity of many investors, prompting capital to shift away from Hanoi in search of more reasonably priced markets with greater growth potential, VARS IRE notes.
This shift isn’t new; the significant gap between real value and financial capacity has been driving both investors and residents to relocate for years.
As a result, the demand for spacious living environments with reasonable costs and sustainable growth potential is driving an inevitable trend: capital is spreading from Hanoi to satellite cities and well-planned urban areas poised for rapid future development.
In this context, Mong Cai has emerged as a highly attractive destination. Strategically located at the northeastern gateway and playing a crucial role in international trade with China, Mong Cai has long been regarded as the “heart” of the inter-regional economic corridor. The robust development of infrastructure, particularly the Van Don – Mong Cai expressway reducing travel time from Hanoi to just over three hours, has significantly boosted trade and investment flows into the city.
Beyond its infrastructure advantages, Mong Cai is blessed with a year-round mild climate, open spaces, and a commitment to sustainable urban development. This makes it an ideal environment for modern urban projects, commercial services, logistics, and cross-border trade businesses.
The combination of economic potential and quality of life has made Mong Cai an increasingly popular choice for businesses, families, and investors.
Over the years, border trade land has consistently maintained stable and sustainable growth, driven by the direct influence of cross-border trade, creating real value and long-term investment opportunities.
Vera Diamond City: A Sustainable Living and Investment Destination
Given the broader market trends, it’s easy to understand the recent buzz around Vera Diamond City.
Speaking at the recent distribution partnership signing ceremony for Vera Diamond City, Ms. N.V.A (Hanoi) shared, “Hanoi’s property prices are too high, so I’m exploring investment opportunities in areas with more potential for growth.”
According to Vinaconex, a leading brand in real estate and construction and the developer of Vera Diamond City, seven reputable market distributors have officially joined the project, signaling an exciting new phase.

Vera Diamond City, developed by VINACONEX, features synchronized planning, complete infrastructure, and clear legal status.
Vera Diamond City in Quang Ninh, a strategically located land plot project, is situated in an area undergoing significant development. Its proximity to major transportation routes, border gates, and urban centers allows it to fully benefit from both existing and future infrastructure. The project not only adds quality supply to the market but also offers attractive investment opportunities, as its value grows alongside Mong Cai’s economic and commercial development.
A key advantage of the project is its transparent legal framework and clear planning, making it suitable for both residential, commercial, and long-term investment purposes. While many major markets are becoming saturated and prices are peaking, Vera Diamond City remains at a “soft price” stage, allowing investors to easily capitalize on the new growth cycle. Now is the perfect time to secure prime locations with clear potential and significant price appreciation.
Currently, alongside accelerating project completion, the developer recently collaborated with local authorities to inaugurate the Harmony 4 Sports Complex, featuring a 1.1-hectare multi-purpose sports and amenities area. This includes an 800 m² saltwater resort-style pool, an 800 m² gym and spa, four standard Pickleball courts, an 85 m² café, and a multi-layered landscape park with outdoor gyms, playgrounds, and unique themed zones. The Pickleball courts are now complete, with the remaining facilities expected by December 2025.

The 2025 Pickleball Open Tournament held at the project attracted numerous participants and became a favorite venue in Mong Cai.
Mong Cai now embodies the three key drivers of a thriving new city: a strategic location, robust infrastructure and trade growth, and a clear trend of population migration. As central urban areas become increasingly saturated, investing in Mong Cai is not only a logical choice but also a smart move to capitalize on emerging trends.
Vera Diamond City offers investors the chance to own prime locations in a high-growth market. Choosing the right project at the right time today lays a solid foundation for sustainable profits tomorrow.
