The real estate market is expected to gain momentum in 2019 thanks to the heat from several billion-USD property projects that received investment certificates in previous years.

One of the biggest projects
is the construction of a mega smart city spanning 272 hectares in Hai Boi
commune, Dong Anh district, Hanoi, with total investment of nearly 4.2 billion
USD. Its investors - Vietnamese BRG Group and Japanese-based trading company
Sumitomo - aim to build it into the largest smart urban area in the Southeast
Asia.
The investors proposed establishing five companies to execute five component
projects, which are scheduled to start this year and be completed in 2030.
In the first phase, the Sumitomo-BRG joint venture will pour over 1 billion USD
into facilities on an area of over 73 hectares.
Once completed, the smart city is expected to bring great impacts on the real
estate market in Hanoi.
In the northeast province of Quang Ninh, the Vision Transportation Group (VTG),
Hai Dang JSC, and Sunny World Property Development Corp Businesses proposed
three large-scale projects with total investment amounting to 10-15 billion
USD, in Van Don island, which is targeted to become a special economic zone.
Those include a high-speed railway route linking Mong Cai and Van Don, the Hon
Net - Con Ong complex of seaport, industrial and urban areas, and the urban
complex in the north of Cai Bau island.
The proposed Van Don - Mong Cai railway will have a length of 100km, connecting
Mong Cai border gate with Van Don special economic zone, with the central
station located at the North Cai Bau urban complex. It will be used for
passengers and improve transportation.
Meanwhile, the Hon Net - Con Ong seaport project, worth 1.2 billion USD, will
span a total area of 500ha. The construction of the port system would be done
in phases. In the first stage, a wharf with length at 350 – 400 meters will be
developed to accommodate the 150,000 DWT (Deadweight Tonnage) vessels.
The urban complex in the north of Cai Bau island will include a residential
area and shopping and service areas on 5,000 ha of land. It will be connected
to Van Don Airport and the railway route and the Van Don Heritage road in the
southern part of the island.
Meanwhile, Banyan Tree Holdings Limited received permission to double its
investment in Laguna Lang Co resort complex in Thua Thien-Hue province in April
2018. Accordingly, the firm would increase its charter capital from 175 million
USD to 300 million USD and its investment capital from 875 million USD to 2
billion USD to add casino business and other facilities.
The project has put into use the Angsana Lang Co hotel with 229 rooms and a
golf course with total investment of 230 million USD. Nearly 300 million USD is
being poured into a five-star hotel, 50 retail shops, and 249 villas.

Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
