In late July 2026, Hanoi approved a master plan to demolish the aging Trương Định residential complex and replace it with two 30-storey towers, creating 1,065 new apartments for more than 2,000 residents. The plan targets ten two-storey blocks that have suffered extensive wear over five decades. Technical assessments for the Trương Định site noted that current foundations no longer meet safety standards due to corrosion, structural cracks, and unauthorized expansions. The reconstruction is expected to span from the third quarter of 2026 to the fourth quarter of 2029, with residents undergoing on-site resettlement. Early August brought further detail on the CT2 social-housing tower in the X2 zone of Lĩnh Nam ward. Developed by Handico, the 17-storey building will include 83 social housing units priced at approximately 28.4 million VND per square metre (roughly 1.1-1.5 billion VND per flat), metre, alongside rentals, lease-purchase apartments, rentals and commercial spaces. Total investment for the project exceeds 293 billion VND, with buyer registration slated for the third quarter of 2026. On 5 August, the city announced the demolition of the 23 Hàng Tre block in the Old Quarter, a five-storey complex built in the 1980s for Ministry of Water Resources staff. 1980s. To address structural weaknesses and fire-safety deficiencies, the site will be replaced by a 21-storey tower with three underground levels. Compensation for the roughly 125 households will be based on unit size, specifically two times the usable area for street-facing units and 1.5 times for interior units. By mid-August, Hanoi expanded its redevelopment scope, approving projects for four old collective apartment complexes to be renovated between 2026 and 2030. These include sites on Le Hồng Phong, 15C Trần Khánh Du, and the 23 Hàng Tre - 162 Trần Quang Khải complex. Inspections noted that many buildings, some nearly 40 years old, suffer from compromised structural integrity due to degradation and unauthorized ‘tiger cage’ balcony enclosures.
