According to real estate experts, the characteristic that surprised and attracted the attention of the people was that 5 social housing projects in Thuong Tin district were all small-scale, from only 20 apartments to the most of 54 apartments.
Therefore, these projects are expected to have a quick progress and be put into operation soon, providing apartments to the market in a short time.
According to the Project "Investing in the construction of at least 1 million social housing units for low-income people and industrial park workers in the period of 2021 - 2030", Hanoi City is assigned a target of 56,200 apartments.
In the 2021-2025 period, Hanoi strives to complete 18,700 units, in the 2026-2030 period, it will be 37,500 units.
Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh - Chairman of the Vietnam Real Estate Brokers Association - commented that the Housing Law (amended) plays an important role in promoting the supply of social housing.
The new points in this law contribute to removing the difficulties that the market has faced in recent times, including "bottlenecks" in social housing. In particular, the new Housing Law stipulates that enterprises oriented towards developing social housing will receive many incentives with more open mechanisms.
