Notably, a six-star hotel and office project opposite Ben ThanhMarket in District 1 is now putting for sale 214 apartments after years ofdelay because it is the first project in Vietnam with six basements, whichcaused some unique difficulties.
Beside luxury properties, investors are also providing socialhousing on a large scale: 352 units at the Nam Phan project in Phu Huu ward,District 9, are available for sale.
