Vietnam real estate and urban management updates

Various regional developments are shaping Vietnam's urban and real estate landscape. In Hanoi, authorities are preparing to auction 61 residential land plots across districts including Cau Giay and Dan Phuong, with two major housing project sites in Dong Anh and Phu Dong carrying a starting price of over 1,373 billion VND.

In Ho Chi Minh City, the People's Committee has issued directives to improve the management of public land and property. The city is prioritizing the handling of vacant or underutilized land following administrative reorganizations. Additionally, the city has assigned specific departments—including the Departments of Industry and Trade, Construction, and Agriculture and Rural Development—to manage carbon credit procedures across the forestry, transport, and energy sectors.

In Thai Nguyen, social housing projects are facing challenges with demand. Some developments, such as TNG Viet Bac and the Dai Thang residential area, have undergone multiple sales rounds without reaching full capacity, with developers citing high prices relative to local incomes and a preference for suburban land over apartments.
