On December 31, 2020, Vice Chairman of HCMC People's Committee Le Hoa Binh signed Decision No. 4834/QD-UBND approving the Project "Building a housing development program in HCMC for the period of 2021 - 2030". According to this scheme, the target of commercial housing development in the period of 2021 – 2030, is expected to develop 45.2 million m2 of the floor; in which, from 2021 to 2025, it is expected to develop 19.7 million m2 of floor space and from 2026 to 2030 is 25.5 million m2 of floor space.
One of the key perspectives in the housing development of HCMC is to transform the housing model from low-rise to modern high-rise housing, mainly for efficient land use, creating a land fund for traffic development, parks, parking spaces, etc., provided that technical and social infrastructure is ensured; increase the proportion of apartment houses in new housing construction investment projects.
HCMC will give priority to the development of investment projects to build new houses, high-rise apartments along major public transport axes (such as metro line No. 1 in Thu Duc City), or areas with the planned implementation of the corresponding technical infrastructure system in 6 developed urban districts including District 7, 12, Binh Tan and Thu Duc City.
