Thu Duc Rides High on Infrastructure Momentum
Thu Duc City has emerged as Ho Chi Minh Cityās real estate hotspot, buoyed by strategic infrastructure upgrades. With projects like Long Thanh International Airport, key expressways, and metro lines, Thu Duc is rapidly transforming into a thriving urban hub.
According to Savills Vietnam, Thu Duc is expected to contribute 50% of HCMCās new apartment supply (from a pool of over 40,000 units) and 30% of the cityās landed housing (out of 4,000 units) from now through 2027. This robust pipeline demonstrates the areaās growing appeal for both homebuyers and investors.
Experts project stronger market performance by late 2025 as improved legal frameworks and infrastructure developments take hold. With major roads, railways, and connectivity upgrades underway, Thu Duc is on track to become HCMCās most dynamic property zone.
Infrastructure Lures Residents and Developers
Eastern HCMCāespecially Thu Ducāhas received substantial investment in transport infrastructure, far outpacing other regions. These upgrades are pivotal to the areaās real estate boom.
One key project is Long Thanh International Airport, which will be just a 45-minute drive from Thu Duc. With a total phase-one investment of nearly USD 4.7 billion, the airport is slated to launch commercial operations by September 2, 2026. Once operational, it is expected to match major Southeast Asian hubs like Suvarnabhumi (Thailand) and Kuala Lumpur International (Malaysia).
This mega project will also boost logistics, tourism, and attract multinational corporations. As businesses expand operations in southern Vietnam, housing demand from business owners, managers, and expat professionals is expected to rise sharply.
Highway and Metro Access Unlock New Potential
Major roadways like the HCMCāLong ThanhāDau Giay Expressway and Ring Road 2 are being fast-tracked to support growing traffic volumes. Thu Duc is set to begin work on the final two Ring Road 2 segments this September, unlocking new residential zones and reshaping the cityās urban fabric.
Additional infrastructure such as Ring Road 3, the My Thuy and An Phu interchanges, and Metro Line 1 will enhance regional access and reduce traffic congestion. These projects aim to streamline connectivity, particularly with nearby economic centers and industrial zones.
A Strategic Bet for Investors in 2025
With its infrastructure edge, Thu Duc is poised to maintain its lead in HCMCās real estate market in 2025 and beyond.
Economic momentum is another growth driver. Since its designation as a city within HCMC in 2021, Thu Duc has made significant progress. It now contributes 30% of HCMCās GRDP and accounts for 7% of Vietnamās national GDP.
Oxford Economics forecasts that by 2030, over 70% of Thu Ducās population will be middle-class. This rising affluence, along with growing FDI and a rising demand for modern living spaces, creates strong demand for housing in the area.
