Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online, Mr. Tan Wee Hsien – General Director of CapitaLand Development Vietnam and International – affirmed that investment in transport infrastructure is the key to ensuring the success of the new Ho Chi Minh City super urban real estate market. In which, key projects will shorten travel time, enhance connectivity and attract investment.
Creating momentum for sustainable real estate market development
Mr. Tan Wee Hsien said that the merger of Ho Chi Minh City with Binh Duong and Ba Ria – Vung Tau marked an important turning point in the urban development process of the region. This merger not only changes the administrative boundaries but also opens up many new development opportunities, towards a dynamic, creative and sustainable urban area.
Mr. Tan Wee Hsien believes that entering a new phase, we are creating the foundation for a strong, international real estate market, focusing on synchronous connectivity and modern urban planning.
Mr. Tan Wee Hsien said that the formation of a new metropolis with a population of about 14 million has turned this area into the leading dynamic economic-urban center of the country.
The resonance between the three localities, each with its own advantages and developed infrastructure systems, creates favorable conditions to maximize resources and promote existing potential.
“From Thu Duc to Bien Hoa, Long Thanh and Ho Tram, new growth areas are gradually taking shape, bringing diverse choices of housing and complex projects. The formation of this “super city” marks an important turning point, opening a new development phase for the high-quality real estate market,” said Mr. Tan Wee Hsien.
According to him, this change not only strongly promotes the housing and commercial segments but also enhances competitiveness throughout the region. In particular, continued investment in transport infrastructure will be a key factor in ensuring the success of the entire region.
Key projects such as inter-provincial metro lines, expressways and ring roads will shorten travel times, enhance connectivity and attract investment capital into real estate projects.
Merging cities, businesses expand investment opportunities
