Ho Chi Minh City’s TOD Masterplan Sparks Surge in Eastern District Projects

Ho Chi Minh City Launches a Series of Key Infrastructure Projects

Ho Chi Minh City is actively rolling out numerous large-scale infrastructure projects, recognizing this effort as not only a local responsibility but also a national leadership and connectivity duty.

Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Nguyen Van Duoc, emphasized that the city’s machinery is operating in sync with the ambition to develop infrastructure, propelling the city toward accelerated breakthroughs. The city is committed to executing these projects with high determination, clear responsibilities, and tangible outcomes.

Statistics reveal that out of over 200 transportation infrastructure projects totaling 350 trillion VND allocated for Ho Chi Minh City, 70% are concentrated in the Eastern region. Toward the old Binh Duong area, the city is strengthening connections with this industrial hub via National Highway 13, Ring Road 3, Ring Road 4, the Ho Chi Minh City – Chon Thanh Expressway connector, and the Saigon Riverbank Road. Notably, Metro Lines 1 and 2, linking the old city center through the Eastern region, are being expedited.

The accelerated planning of metro lines and key transportation projects is fueling the growth of the Eastern region’s real estate market.

Simultaneously, along these metro lines, a series of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) urban models will be implemented. Primarily focused on areas bordering the old Ho Chi Minh City, such as Di An and Thuan An, 11 TOD urban areas are prioritized. The TOD model centers on high-density station hubs with mixed land use (60% residential, 40% commercial), aiming to connect Metro Lines 1, 2, and Ring Road 3. From 2025 to 2030, these developments will expand along the metro lines, extending to 2045 with 12 urban rail lines covering the entire residential area. This not only alleviates population pressure but also transforms the Eastern region into a new economic hub, with real estate prices expected to rise.

As a result, the Eastern region of Ho Chi Minh City is witnessing a boom in apartment projects, offering abundant supply with prices ranging from 38 to 65 million VND/m², suitable for both living and investment, thanks to the robust development of metro and expressway infrastructure.

Amid the numerous projects in Ho Chi Minh City’s Eastern region, The Aspira stands out with its affordable homeownership policy starting at just 6.8 million VND/month, offering urban core TOD apartments at a rumored price of only 37.9 million VND/m².

Slightly more affordable is The Aspira, strategically located in the heart of the 18.8-hectare TOD Tan Binh Ring Road 3 urban area, right next to Metro Line 1, midway between stations S12 and S13. With complete legal documentation and construction progress reaching the 18th floor out of 30, this project is introduced to the market at an expected price of 37.9 million VND/m², along with impressive purchasing policies. Buyers can own a home with monthly payments as low as 6.8 million VND. A 10% down payment is required upon signing the purchase agreement, with an additional 20% due upon receiving the pink book.

The Aspira: Smart Urban Core TOD Apartments in an 18.8-Hectare Development, Adjacent to Metro Line 1

Located in the core of the 18.8-hectare TOD Tan Binh Ring Road 3 urban area, the smart apartments of The Aspira are situated on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street, Tan Dong Hiep Ward (formerly Di An). Its strategic location is right on Metro Line 1, midway between stations S12 and S13.

Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street will be expanded to 42 meters by early 2026, with new routes N4 – N5 – D6 (17-meter road width) directly connecting The Aspira to key transportation arteries such as National Highway 1K, the Ho Chi Minh City – Chon Thanh Expressway, the My Phuoc – Tan Van axis, and Ring Road 3.

The Aspira boasts significant price appreciation potential as the focal point of numerous key infrastructure projects.

Despite its rumored price of only 37.9 million VND/m², The Aspira offers smart, high-end interiors from reputable brands such as Hafele, Yale, Panasonic, Philips, An Cuong Wood, and Royal Tiles. Additionally, the project is managed and operated by CBRE, a leading international brand with over 120 years of experience, ensuring a standardized, convenient, and modern living experience.

In terms of apartment design, The Aspira impresses with 100% of units featuring balconies, 100% functional rooms with windows and open views, and 38 integrated on-site amenities scientifically arranged from ground level to higher floors along dynamic and static axes. This design provides residents with spaces for movement, relaxation, and energy rejuvenation.

With its competitive sales policy, transparent legal framework, and robust construction progress, The Aspira is a standout attraction in Ho Chi Minh City’s Eastern real estate market in the final months of the year. The project not only meets the modern 3S living standards—Spirit, Smart, Sync—but also offers lucrative investment opportunities for savvy investors attuned to the emerging TOD urban development trend.
