Since the beginning of 2026, the city has approved 51 social housing projects comprising around 38,000 apartments, with total registered investment of nearly VND77.5 trillion (approximately $3 billion).

Hanoi currently has 107 approved social housing projects assigned to developers, with a combined scale of about 94,600 apartments. Of these, 15 projects have broken ground, providing around 12,300 units, including approximately 1,400 apartments designated for rental.

The city expects 36 social housing projects, totaling about 20,200 apartments, to be completed or become available for sale during 2026.

In the rental housing segment, Hanoi's public housing stock includes 12 official residences, 515 social housing units, 1,532 worker accommodation rooms, 2,578 student housing rooms and 9,714 older state-owned residential units. In addition, privately funded developments provide another 4,136 social housing units and 645 worker accommodation units for rent.

The commercial housing market also recorded relatively strong supply in the first half of 2026, with 26 projects delivering 6,640 homes, including 5,230 apartments and 1,410 low-rise houses.
