Dong Ha: Vietnam’s Rising Star for Investment in Central Region

With a surge in modern infrastructure, Dong Ha City in Quang Tri province is becoming a prime destination for investment in Central Vietnam. Over the past 35 years, Quang Tri has seen significant improvements in its transportation network, including a 12-fold increase in road network from its initial 750 kilometers. The port infrastructure has also expanded rapidly in recent years. Alongside operational projects, several key infrastructure projects are underway, solidifying Quang Tri’s position as a region with the most comprehensive infrastructure in Central Vietnam. Key projects include the coastal road connecting the East-West Economic Corridor, the Dong Ha city eastern bypass, and the connection to the Ho Chi Minh Highway. This infrastructure development has spurred investment in Dong Ha, transforming the city. Notably, two major projects are anticipated to propel Quang Tri’s growth in the future: Quang Tri Airport, which commenced construction in July 2024 and is scheduled for completion in 2026, and the My Thuy Port with 10 berths, capable of accommodating vessels up to 100,000 tons upon completion. This enhanced infrastructure has positioned Quang Tri as a flourishing economic hub in Central Vietnam, attracting investment, especially after Dong Ha was officially recognized as a Type II city on August 8th. Major projects by developers like Vingroup, T&T, AE, and Sai Gon Investment have taken shape in Dong Ha. These projects not only enhance the city’s aesthetics but also elevate the real estate market, presenting attractive opportunities for investors, exemplified by the Vincom Shophouse Royal Park. Located at the southern gateway of Dong Ha, Vincom Shophouse Royal Park occupies a prime location at the intersection of Hung Vuong and Dien Bien Phu streets. These two major thoroughfares lead directly to Lao Bao border gate, the starting point of the East-West Economic Corridor connecting Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar. In the near future, this area is poised to become a hub for dynamic economic and commercial activities in Central Vietnam. The project’s proximity to major hospitals, administrative offices, schools, and notably the Nam Dong Ha Industrial Zone adds to its appeal. This strategic positioning suggests promising price appreciation for real estate in the area.
