The complex will serve a population of 2,058 people.

The government of Hanoi tasks its departments of Finance and Agriculture and Environment to guide the developer in fulfilling legal obligations related to investment certification, land use and finance.

This social housing project follows another launched in June 2025 in Son Dong Commune (formerly Van Canh Commune of, Hoai Duc District), developed by the Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUD).

Built on a 3,306-square-meter site, the project will serve around 1,600 residents.

It has a total investment of VND649 billion (US$24.6 million) and is expected to be handed over in Q4/2027.

Under Decision No. 444/QD-TTg, Hanoi must complete 44,866 social housing units between 2025 and 2030. In 2025, Hanoi must complete 4,670 social housing units.

As part of the national plan to build at least one million social housing units, Hanoi has been tasked with delivering 56,200 units by 2030 - among the highest quotas nationwide.

This year alone, the city expects to complete six projects with more than 4,700 units, surpassing its annual target.
