Hanoi will build 348,000 square meters of resettlement housing areas this year

Social housing projects of Hanoi are concentrated mainly in five areas of Tien Duong in Dong Anh District, Co Bi in Gia Lam, Ngoc Hoi in Thanh Tri, and Co Nhue 2 and EcoHome 3 in Bac Tu Liem.
The Hanoi People’s Committee has recently also proposed the Government a special mechanism to order developers to build more than 17,600 commercial apartments for resettlement purpose by 2020. The total investment capital of the apartments is estimated at roughly VND18.51 trillion (US$815.42 million).
The committee said that it has so far prepared 27 projects which will include roughly 19,800 apartments and cover a total area of 28.5 hectares to call for investors.
Under the mechanism, Hanoi will provide cleared land and select qualified investors to build the resettlement apartments as approved planning.
Meanwhile, the investors will only be allowed to sell the apartments at a maximum profit of 10 per cent of their investment or sell 15 per cent of the flats at market prices.
To be qualified for the selection, investors must meet ten criteria such as experience, financial status, governance and committed schedule.
With this mechanism, it is expected that quality of homes for resettlements would be improved and the accountability of developers would be enhanced.
Hanoi started piloting this mechanism for six projects with a total of more than 4,300 apartments which were expected to be completed by 2020.
The average housing area per capita in Hanoi is 25.6 square meters and the city targets to increase it to 26.3 square meters by 2020.
