In the first half of 2025, Vietnam's real estate market recorded a surge in merger and acquisition (M&A) activities led by foreign investors. Despite concerns over trade barriers with the U.S., Vietnam continues to solidify its role in the global supply chain. Several new projects have broken ground, notably two industrial parks by Becamex IDC in Bình Dương (spanning 1,080 hectares) and the VSIP Nam Định project (180 hectares), set to commence in Q3 2025.

In the residential sector, the trend of developing suburban areas continues to gain momentum, with several large-scale projects breaking ground. Standout developments include Vingroup’s Vinhomes Green Paradise, sprawling across 2,870 hectares in Cần Giờ, Ho Chi Minh City, and Sun Group’s Sun Blanca City, covering 96.6 hectares in Vũng Tàu. Meanwhile, Masterise Homes is making its mark in Central Vietnam with the Masteri Rivera Đà Nẵng project, delivering approximately 1,112 premium apartments.

The retail sector is also witnessing significant strides, particularly with AEON Mall’s expansion into the Mekong Delta. Two notable projects are AEON Mall Long An, which opened its doors in August 2025, and AEON Mall Cần Thơ, currently under construction on an 8.5-hectare site, poised to elevate the region’s shopping experience.

Concurrently, the tourism and aviation sectors are thriving, fueled by a surge in international visitors—9.2 million in the first five months of 2025, a 21% increase year-on-year. Major initiatives, such as APEC 2027 in Phú Quốc, alongside airport expansions and the launch of Sun PhuQuoc Airways, reflect the forward-thinking vision and close collaboration between private investors and authorities in driving sustainable growth.

Vietnam stands out as an attractive real estate investment hub, fueled by structural reforms, increased public investment, and private sector support, though vigilance is needed regarding risks from international trade policies.
