Landed property prices are higher in Binh Duong New City, where the popular townhouse prices reach $200,000-260,000 per dwelling, or $1,500-2,100 per square metre.

According to Savills, most of the residential projects in Binh Duong target middle management groups and buyers from other provinces and cities.

They are especially attractive to buyers from Ha Noi and HCM City, who are mostly long-term investors seeking capital gain or rental income.

From 2013, 18 future projects are expected to come online, providing more than 11,800 dwellings in the apartment, villa and townhouse segments. The apartment sector accounts for the largest share in the total future supply at approximately 77 per cent.

Savills said the provincial population of around 1.7 million, of which 75 per cent were the working age, showed potential for residential market development. ― VNS
