[Vietnam Market Update]
Discover the Next Chapter of HCMC
Vietnam’s continued manufacturing growth, foreign investment and infrastructure development are reshaping its major cities. As Ho Chi Minh City expands eastward, new residential and investment opportunities are emerging, but not every project will benefit equally.
This one-hour English seminar will examine Vietnam’s latest economic and property-market outlook, Ho Chi Minh City’s eastern growth corridor, and GLADIA Heights by Keppel × Khang Điền, including its location, development concept, supply, payment structure and resale considerations.
The seminar will examine:
‧ Vietnam’s current stage of economic development
‧ How manufacturing, exports and foreign investment are reshaping urban demand
‧ Why Ho Chi Minh City continues to expand eastward
‧ Whether a lower entry price genuinely represents investment value
‧The key similarities and differences between Vietnam today and Taiwan 20 years ago
‧Ownership, payment and resale considerations when purchasing overseas property

What Is Driving Vietnam’s Next Stage of Growth?
1. From a Manufacturing Base to a Global Supply-Chain Hub
Taiwan’s export manufacturing, industrial upgrading and integration into global supply chains helped drive income growth and urban development.
Vietnam is now undergoing a similar structural transformation. In 2025, Vietnam’s GDP grew by 8%, mainly supported by manufacturing exports and a recovery in domestic demand. Total trade reached nearly 170% of GDP, demonstrating the country’s deep integration into the global economy.
2. Foreign Investment Is Driving Talent and Housing Demand
The World Bank previously projected Vietnam’s annual realised foreign direct investment at approximately US$25 billion.
Foreign investment brings more than factories. It also attracts corporate executives, skilled professionals and service industries, creating additional consumer and housing demand.
The key question for property investors is not simply whether foreign investment is increasing, but where the resulting jobs, population growth and housing demand will ultimately concentrate.
3. The Urban Core Is Expanding Outward
As population and commercial activity increase, the existing city centre cannot absorb unlimited new demand. Residential and commercial development will naturally expand along transport links and major master-planned growth areas.
This is why eastern Ho Chi Minh City, Thu Thiem and the former District 2 deserve closer attention.
An Important Difference: Vietnam may be following a path once taken by Taiwan, but this does not mean its property prices will automatically repeat Taiwan’s rise.
Three key risks facing Vietnam’s property market must still be carefully considered:
1. Regulatory Risk
Foreign ownership quotas, title documentation and the transfer of presale contracts are subject to specific restrictions.
2. Liquidity Risk
Being able to buy does not mean you can sell at any time. Unit selection and future buyer demand are critical.
3. Project Differentiation
The benefits of urban growth tend to concentrate in projects with strong locations, thoughtful planning, credible developers and genuine residential demand.
If Vietnam is entering a new phase of industrial and urban transformation, what types of property are best positioned to capture this growth?
Understanding a Country’s Growth Is Only the Beginning
The real question is where capital, population and housing demand will ultimately concentrate.
As Ho Chi Minh City continues to expand eastward, GLADIA Heights occupies a strategic position worth watching.
Located in eastern Ho Chi Minh City, within the former District 2 area and near the Thu Thiem growth corridor, GLADIA Heights is jointly developed by Keppel and Khang Điền.
Its investment relevance extends beyond pricing. The project is supported by several key fundamentals that may strengthen its appeal to owner-occupiers, tenants and future buyers.
Positioned Along the City’s Eastern Growth Corridor
Located between Ho Chi Minh City’s established centre and its eastern growth corridor—approximately 15 minutes from Ba Son Bridge and 20 minutes from Bến Thành Market.
International Expertise × Local Execution
Keppel brings international expertise in urban planning and sustainable development, while Khang Điền contributes strong local capabilities in development, legal procedures and project execution.
A More Controlled Supply
Three residential towers of approximately 15 storeys, comprising 616 residences and 23 commercial units—offering a lower-density alternative to mega developments with thousands of units.
Larger Master-Planned Community
GLADIA Heights forms part of the approximately 12-hectare Gladia by the Waters development, set within a broader 60-hectare master plan incorporating residential, educational, healthcare, commercial, green and community facilities.
Designed for Genuine Residential Demand
Approximately 70% of residences are designed to enjoy river views, complemented by over 60 lifestyle facilities and five landscaped internal parks. All three residential towers have achieved BCA Green Mark Gold certification.
