HCMC’s western region has shed its former label as a “developing area” and is now positioning itself as a key force shaping new trends in the real estate market. Driven by large-scale projects, strong investment flows, and rapid urbanization, the area is evolving into a modern, thriving urban center with ample growth potential.
HCMC’s western part – An in-depth look of development potential
Many real estate experts believe that a major factor contributing to the appeal of HCMC’s western part is the considerable investment in transportation infrastructure. In recent years, the city has prioritized enhancing and expanding the transportation network in this area. Key traffic infrastructures, such as Metro Line 3A, the Ben Luc-Long Thanh Expressway, and HCMC’s Beltway No.3, along with major routes like National Highways 1A and 22, are being upgraded and expanded to form a modern, interconnected network that enhances mobility and drives economic growth.
The metro lines, particularly the upcoming Metro Line 3A connecting Ben Thanh and Tan Kien stations, are expected to alleviate congestion and boost real estate values in the western region. In addition, the area provides spacious living options, affordable land prices, and excellent transportation connectivity, making it an attractive investment opportunity for both real estate developers and individual investors.
Dr. Dinh The Hien, an economic expert, noted that with the provincial government’s committed infrastructure development plans for the near future, HCMC’s western part is set to become a key hub of considerable importance in the Southeast and Mekong Delta regions. Binh Duong Province, with its focus on regional infrastructure development, has successfully transformed areas once considered lacking growth potential into flourishing industrial zones. Similarly, the western area adjacent to HCMC is expected to experience a major boost in infrastructure connectivity by 2025-2026, unlocking development opportunities and bringing the provincial planning for 2021-2030, with a vision toward 2050, to fruition.

Another economic expert, Associate Professor Dr. Dinh Trong Thinh, said that given the determination of HCMC’s western part in executing urban development plans and advancing the real estate market, it is evident that the area is on the right track. By focusing on infrastructure development, the region is supporting urban growth and socio-economic development with the goal of becoming “the leading industrial hub in the country.” (according to tapchitoaan.vn)
Additionally, a crucial factor fueling the rapid development of HCMC’s western part is the presence of large industrial zones. With key industrial parks such as Phuc Long, Thuan Dao, and Phu An Thanh, and the influx of thousands of workers, engineers, and specialists from all over the country, the demand for housing and amenities is steadily rising, presenting ample opportunities for real estate investors.
Added values from urban development
Along with the rapid development of industrial zones, HCMC’s western region has gained attention with the rise of modern urban areas. Projects like riverside urban areas, affordable apartment complexes, villas, and row houses are taking shape, providing residents with diverse living options, from housing to a wide range of modern amenities and services.
Furthermore, the western region of HCMC is emerging as a key area for major real estate brands, including Vingroup, Ecopark, Nam Long, and, more recently, Seaholdings. The developer has made huge investments in the area, delivering real estate products designed to meet the diverse needs of the market.
Mai Hong Khue, an experienced real estate agent, said: “Destino Centro encompasses over 2,000 apartments, showcasing a modern design with an emphasis on green spaces to provide residents with a tranquil and eco-friendly living environment. The development is equipped with premium amenities, including four swimming pools, sports facilities, entertainment areas, a kindergarten, and vast green spaces. It meets the diverse needs of residents for living, working, and recreation in a fully integrated urban community.”
According to industry experts, the completion of traffic infrastructure and the rapid growth of industrial zones are expected to keep HCMC’s western region in the spotlight for real estate investors. The area is poised for further growth with its high potential and promising opportunities for future gains. Seaholdings’ Destino Centro project emerges as a compelling investment option in this landscape.
