Hanoi's Department of Construction has released details of 146 proposed social housing projects across the capital, marking a significant step toward expanding affordable housing and meeting growing residential demand in the coming years.

The projects are planned across multiple areas and form part of the city's broader strategy to increase the supply of social housing for low- and middle-income residents.

Several projects are expected to be developed under pilot mechanisms introduced by National Assembly Resolution No. 201/2025/QH15, which provides special policies to accelerate social housing development.

According to the department, Hanoi has so far approved 90 social housing projects and 20 housing projects for members of the armed forces.

Of the 90 social housing developments, which are expected to provide approximately 83,000 apartments, 13 projects comprising 11,124 units have already broken ground. Another 41 projects with around 32,000 units are scheduled to commence construction in 2026, while 29 projects are expected to start in 2027. The remaining seven projects are currently undergoing investment and administrative procedures.

The latest proposals underscore Hanoi's efforts to address housing affordability challenges and support the government's broader objective of accelerating social housing development nationwide.
