In Binh Trung Ward, formerly part of HCMC's District 2, two projects were added to the list: the Binh Trung Dong residential area developed by Binh Trung Moi Real Estate Co., Ltd., covering about 57,700 square meters, and the Doan Nguyen residential area project by Doan Nguyen Housing Investment and Trading Co., Ltd., spanning more than 60,700 square meters.
In Binh Tay Ward, authorities approved a mixed-use apartment and commercial complex developed by Minh Anh Real Estate Services One Member Co., Ltd., located at 765 and 751/8 Hong Bang Street, with an area exceeding 5,600 square meters.
The final project is a high-rise apartment complex combined with commercial and office space developed by DHA-D One JSC, covering around 8,050 square meters on Ben Binh Dong Street in Phu Dinh Ward.
Throughout 2025 and the first months of 2026, Ho Chi Minh City had announced five projects eligible for foreign ownership. Including the latest approvals, the total number of projects approved for foreign buyers has reached 123.
As the city seeks to develop into an international financial center, free trade hub, and semiconductor industry base, demand for housing from foreign experts and engineers is expected to increase. Expanding the list of eligible projects is viewed as part of efforts to attract international talent and improve the attractiveness of the real estate market.
Under current regulations, foreign individuals are allowed to purchase commercial housing in projects located outside areas designated for national defense or security purposes. Foreign ownership is capped at 30% of units in a single apartment building or up to 250 individual houses within a ward, subject to legal requirements and valid immigration status.
Foreign organizations must hold valid investment certificates or legal operating documents at the time of purchase.
