Vietnam infrastructure and real estate developments

Overview

Vietnam has demonstrated significant advancements in digital infrastructure and regulatory transparency. According to the July 2026 Speedtest Global Index, the nation entered the top 10 globally for both mobile and fixed broadband speeds, a progress largely linked to the nationwide deployment of 5G technology.

In the real estate sector, Vietnam was ranked 50th out of 88 in the 2026 Global Real Estate Transparency Index. Improvements are attributed to legal reforms regarding land, housing, and real estate business. The market is also seeing a rise in branded real estate; according to the Savills ‘Asia-Pacific Branded Real Estate Report 2026’, Vietnam leads the Asia-Pacific region in the number of branded projects, ahead of Thailand, India, and China. In Ho Chi Minh City, the number of independent branded projects is forecasted to double by 2032, driven by demand for integrated residential and hotel models.

However, the market is undergoing restructuring. Data from the General Statistics Office shows that in the first half of 2026, 1,463 real estate businesses completed dissolution procedures, a 120.3% increase compared to the previous year, while approximately 2,400 businesses returned to operation. Brokerage firms in Hanoi face intense pressure, with some reporting a nearly 50% drop in revenue and a 30% increase in staff resignations compared to late 2025.

Stricter legal requirements under the 2023 Real Estate Business Law are mandating professionalization. Individuals must possess a professional brokerage certificate to avoid fines of up to 60 million VND. Meanwhile, Russian investors are exploring opportunities in the commercial property sector, citing strong bilateral ties and the ability to establish foreign-invested enterprises.
