The Homeward Flow of Capital: Vinhomes at the Intersection of Global Wealth and Vietnam’s Opportunity
- Written by Media Outreach
Large-scale urban developments, integrated ecosystems and transparent pricing platforms address longstanding concerns over information access and product quality.
HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 September 2026 – For overseas Vietnamese considering investment in their country of origin, two persistent concerns have traditionally been access to reliable information and confidence in product quality. As large-scale, internationally oriented urban developments continue to take shape across Vietnam, that landscape is evolving. With projects spanning thousands of hectares, living standards refined over nearly two decades, and an integrated ecosystem rarely matched in the market, Vinhomes has emerged as a natural destination for overseas Vietnamese investment.
Vinhomes currently has a land bank of approximately 29,500 hectares.
Global Remittances: A Steady Flow Increasingly Directed Toward Real Estate Globally, remittances have long ranked among the most stable sources of external finance for developing economies. According to World Bank estimates cited by the U.S. Federal Reserve, global remittance flows reached a record approximately US$818 billion in 2023(1), nearly four times the combined official development assistance (ODA) provided by OECD countries. Increasingly, these funds are moving beyond day-to-day consumption toward long-term asset accumulation, with real estate ranking among the preferred choices of financially established households. Vietnam offers a particularly clear illustration of this trend. Total remittances to the country reached approximately US$16 billion in 2024(2), keeping Vietnam among the world's ten largest recipients. Notably, nearly US$8 billion in remittance capital flowed into Vietnam's real estate market in the first nine months of 2025 alone(3), a strong indication of growing confidence among overseas Vietnamese in the domestic market. Unlike short-term speculative capital, overseas Vietnamese buyers tend to view property as a means of preserving and building wealth over the long term. This helps explain why large-scale urban developments with coherent master planning, transparent legal frameworks and proven operational capabilities are increasingly prioritized by this demographic. Recent amendments to Vietnam's Land Law and Law on Real Estate Business, which took effect in 2024, have further expanded the rights of overseas Vietnamese. Those of Vietnamese origin who retain Vietnamese citizenship enjoy land-related rights and obligations broadly equivalent to those of domestic citizens. Those of Vietnamese origin without Vietnamese citizenship have also gained a more accessible legal pathway to home ownership. This policy shift addresses a substantial unmet demand. Potential housing demand among overseas Vietnamese in Vietnam has been estimated at more than three million homes, a market whose development was previously constrained in part by procedural barriers and concerns over the transparency of project information. Vinhomes: A Key Destination for Overseas Vietnamese Investment If policy reforms have opened the door, Vinhomes has become one of the key addresses through which overseas Vietnamese are choosing to invest. Over nearly two decades, beginning with developments such as Royal City, Times City and Vinhomes Riverside, Vinhomes has helped introduce and scale a model of integrated urban living in Vietnam, bringing homes, education, healthcare, retail, green mobility and essential services together within a single, connected environment. In doing so, the company has helped raise the benchmark for urban development across the domestic real estate sector. The scale of that platform is reflected in figures that few developers in Vietnam can match. Vinhomes currently holds a land bank of approximately 29,500 hectares, equivalent to nearly two-thirds of Singapore's total land area, making it the country's largest real estate developer by land holdings. The company has brought 32 projects and urban developments into operation, supporting the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of residents across Vietnam. Its momentum in 2025 further reinforced that leading position. Vinhomes recorded VND205.3 trillion in contracted sales in 2025, up 98% year on year. During the year, four new mega-urban developments were introduced to the market: Vinhomes Wonder City in Hanoi, Vinhomes Golden City in Hai Phong, Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, and Vinhomes Green City in Long An. The company's approach to raising living standards has also received recognition beyond Vietnam. At the Dot Property Southeast Asia Awards 2025, Vinhomes was named "Developer of the Year Southeast Asia 2025", the highest distinction presented by the awards. It is this combination of scale, brand credibility and transparency that is proving particularly relevant to the global Vietnamese community. At Vinhomes Royal Island in Vu Yen, Hai Phong, the project...
