Hồng Hạc City is located in Song Liễu Ward (formerly known administratively as Xuân Lâm), Thuận Thành Town, Bắc Ninh Province, just 2km from Ring Road 4, placing it within the direct and strongest sphere of influence of this strategic infrastructure route. The phrase “right next to Ring Road 4” is not merely a positioning statement, but reflects genuinely clear multi-directional connectivity: from the project, residents can reach Ring Road 4 via National Highway 17, Gia Bình Expressway and Phật Tích Bridge within just a few minutes’ drive. In particular, as construction of Ring Road 4 enters its completion phase in 2026, this 2km location is the ideal point along the entire corridor from which to anticipate the property price growth driven by infrastructure development.
Can Ring Road 4 directly drive property price growth at Hồng Hạc City? The answer is yes, through at least 3 clear mechanisms demonstrated by Vietnam’s property market history: first, the route reduces travel time to central Hanoi from 40–60 minutes to approximately 25 minutes, stimulating strong genuine housing demand; second, a sharp increase in traffic flows elevates the business potential of internal shophouses to a new level; third, demand from specialists working at the hundreds of thousands of engineers in the Thuận Thành and Yên Phong industrial parks creates sustainable demand for high-end rental housing. Furthermore, urban areas along Hanoi’s Ring Road 3 previously recorded price increases of 40–60% within 5 years of the road opening, providing an important precedent for assessing Hồng Hạc City’s future potential.
In addition, Ring Road 4 also serves as an inner-city bypass corridor, allowing Hồng Hạc City residents to connect simultaneously to Hanoi, Hải Phòng, Bắc Ninh, Hưng Yên and Nội Bài International Airport without travelling through routes that are frequently congested. Specifically, the 25km distance to central Hanoi and 46km distance to Nội Bài International Airport will both become significantly shorter once the Ring Road 4 corridor is fully operational.
The following article provides a detailed analysis of each aspect: Hồng Hạc City’s actual location in relation to Ring Road 4, the network of connected destinations, the mechanisms driving property price growth and the optimal time to invest, providing residents and investors with a comprehensive basis for making the most informed decision.
What Does Hồng Hạc City Being Right Next to Ring Road 4 Mean? The Actual Distance and Location
Hồng Hạc City is a 197.76-hectare eco-urban development jointly developed by Phú Mỹ Hưng and Nomura Real Estate, located in Song Liễu Ward, Thuận Thành Town, Bắc Ninh, within a 2 km radius of the centreline of Ring Road 4, placing it within the area most directly and strongly affected by the infrastructure of this strategic route.
More specifically, “right next to Ring Road 4” in the context of urban planning means that the development is within the distance where the infrastructure’s connectivity and value-enhancing impact are at their greatest—similar to Vietnam’s most successful urban developments, which are all located within a 2–3 km radius of major roads. Ring Road 4 runs from west to east through Thuận Thành, forming a transport corridor connecting Bắc Ninh with Hà Nội and neighbouring provinces without requiring traffic to pass through the inner city. Furthermore, Hồng Hạc City’s location lies at the intersection of Thuận Thành (Bắc Ninh) and Gia Lâm (Hà Nội), one of the most advantageous locations along the entire emerging Ring Road 4 corridor.
Is Hồng Hạc City Really Only Around 2 km from Ring Road 4?
Yes, Hồng Hạc City is genuinely only around 2 km from Ring Road 4 as the crow flies, equivalent to a 5–8-minute drive via National Highway 17, which is currently being widened and upgraded.
This 2 km distance is confirmed by the development’s master plan, satellite maps and official information released by developer Phú Mỹ Hưng at the project launch ceremony on 19 April 2025. This is the optimal distance in satellite-city planning: close enough to benefit fully from regional transport connectivity, yet far enough to avoid noise and dust from the expressway. For example, property developments along Hà Nội’s Ring Road 3 within a 2–3 km radius—Vinhomes Ocean Park in Gia Lâm being a typical example—have recorded significantly higher price growth than developments located farther from the transport corridor in the same area. This provides practical evidence supporting Hồng Hạc City’s locational advantage.
Which Roads Directly Connect Hồng Hạc City to Ring Road 4?
There are 3 main roads directly connecting Hồng Hạc City to Ring Road 4: National Highway 17, Gia Bình Expressway and Phật Tích–Đại Đồng Thành Bridge, with each route serving a different travel direction.
Below are details of each route connecting Hồng Hạc City to Ring Road 4:
- National Highway 17 (main axis): The major road connecting Thuận Thành with Gia Lâm, currently undergoing widening and upgrading. From Hồng Hạc City, travelling approximately 2 km along National Highway 17 provides access to the Ring Road 4 interchange. This is the main route to Ring Road 4, heading west towards Hà Nội.
- Gia Bình Expressway (120 m road, 10 lanes): This expressway is under development to connect Gia Bình Airport with Hà Nội. From Hồng Hạc City, Tây Hồ can be reached in approximately 20–25 minutes. It will benefit most when Ring Road 4 and Gia Bình Airport both become operational.
- Phật Tích Bridge and Đại Đồng Thành Bridge: These bridges have been connected and opened to traffic, linking Thuận Thành with Tiên Du and shortening travel times to major industrial parks north of the Đuống River, including Samsung Yên Phong, Khai Sơn Industrial Park and VSIP Bắc Ninh.
Which Destinations Can Residents Reach from Hồng Hạc City via Ring Road 4?
There are 6 important destination groups that Hồng Hạc City residents can reach via the Ring Road 4 corridor: central Hà Nội, Bắc Ninh City, Hưng Yên, Hải Phòng, Nội Bài Airport and the chain of major industrial parks in northern Vietnam—all without having to travel through congested inner-city areas.
Ring Road 4 serves as a bypass around the inner city: instead of travelling along frequently congested routes such as Nguyễn Trãi, Giải Phóng or Chương Dương Bridge during peak hours, Hồng Hạc City residents can reach their destinations via the outer ring road, saving 15–30 minutes per journey. In particular, this is an advantage that very few property developments in the greater capital region can enjoy in multiple directions from a single starting point.
How Long Will It Take to Travel from Hồng Hạc City to Central Hà Nội Before and After Ring Road 4 Is Completed?
Before Ring Road 4, travelling from Hồng Hạc City to central Hà Nội took 40–60 minutes because journeys had to pass through busy inner-city roads that were frequently congested. After Ring Road 4 is completed in 2026, this will be reduced to approximately 25 minutes, representing a saving of more than 50% of travel time per journey.
This dramatic improvement will result from two complementary factors. First, Ring Road 4 will allow residents to avoid the traffic bottlenecks at Chương Dương Bridge, Nguyễn Văn Cừ and Giải Phóng Road entirely. Second, the design speed on Ring Road 4 is 100 km/h, considerably higher than the actual peak-hour speed of 20–40 km/h on inner-city roads. However, this benefit is not limited to people working in Hà Nội. Conversely, technical specialists and engineers working at Thuận Thành Industrial Park and Samsung Yên Phong, both near Hồng Hạc City, will also benefit from significantly faster travel to Nội Bài Airport and other provinces, expanding the development’s potential resident base far beyond people commuting to Hà Nội.
Distance and Travel Time from Hồng Hạc City via the Ring Road 4 Corridor
The summary table below presents the estimated distances and travel times from Hồng Hạc City to important destinations, comparing the scenarios before and after Ring Road 4 is completed, and provides a basis for assessing the development’s actual regional connectivity advantages.
| Destination | Distance | Travel Time Before Ring Road 4 | Travel Time After Ring Road 4 | Main Connecting Route |
| Central Hanoi (Hoàn Kiếm) | 25km | 40–60 minutes | Approximately 25 minutes | National Highway 17 + Ring Road 4 |
| Bắc Ninh City | 20km | 30–40 minutes | About 20 minutes | QL17, QL38 |
| Hưng Yên | 30km | 50–60 minutes | Approximately 30 minutes | Ring Road 4, National Highway 5A |
| Haiphong | 70km | 90–120 minutes | Approximately 75 minutes | Hà Nội–Hải Phòng Expressway |
| Nội Bài Airport | 46km | 60–80 minutes | Approximately 50 minutes | Ring Road 4, National Highway 5 |
| Vinhomes Ocean Park (Gia Lâm) | 10km | 20–25 minutes | Approximately 15 minutes | QL17, QL5 |
| Thuận Thành Industrial Parks I, II and III | 5-10km | 10–20 minutes | Approximately 10 minutes | Local section of National Highway 17 |
| Gia Bình Airport (future) | 16km | N/A | 20–25 minutes | Gia Bình Expressway |
Is Ring Road 4 a Direct Catalyst for Property Price Growth at Hồng Hạc City?
Yes, Ring Road 4 is a direct catalyst for property price growth at Hồng Hạc City, through at least 3 clear mechanisms that have been demonstrated at numerous developments along major roads in Vietnam: shorter travel times stimulating genuine home-buying demand; increased traffic volumes boosting the business potential of commercial shophouses; and a stronger appeal to professional residents, creating sustainable rental liquidity.
More specifically, Ring Road 4 is not merely a road; it is an infrastructure route reshaping the economic geography of the capital region. Once fully operational, locations within a 2–3 km radius, such as Hồng Hạc City, will benefit from a “double effect”: increased value through superior connectivity and increased demand from the influx of residents and professionals. Furthermore, developer Phú Mỹ Hưng, with more than 30 years of experience in developing urban areas in District 7, Hồ Chí Minh City, has demonstrated its ability to transform locations positioned to benefit from infrastructure development into enduring, high-quality living environments. Nomura Real Estate, its strategic Japanese partner with more than 70 years of experience, adds the assurance of international-standard operational management—an essential factor in maintaining property value over time.

What Mechanism Causes Property in Locations Along Ring Road 4 to Increase in Value Over Time?
Property along Ring Road 4 increases in value through 3 successive stages: the initial stage (announcement of the plan, with prices rising slightly by 10–20%), the acceleration stage (during construction, with prices rising sharply by 30–50%) and the establishment of a new price level (after the road opens, with prices reaching a higher and more sustainable threshold).
The price-growth mechanism operates through a chain of cause and effect: completed infrastructure shortens travel times, making the area more attractive to genuine homebuyers and investors, which in turn increases demand while the supply of quality property fails to keep pace, resulting in the establishment of a new, higher price level that cannot be reversed. For example, areas along Hà Nội’s Ring Road 3, including the Mỹ Đình and Thanh Xuân sections, recorded average price growth of 40–60% during the 5 years after the route opened in 2010. More importantly, Hồng Hạc City is currently at the beginning of its infrastructure-led price-growth cycle—the stage when investors can still buy at prices considerably lower than the level expected after the road opens.
Which Types of Property at Hồng Hạc City Benefit Most from Ring Road 4?
There are 3 main property types at Hồng Hạc City that benefit most from Ring Road 4: commercial shophouses, detached and semi-detached villas, and adjoining townhouse properties, with each benefiting through different mechanisms and at different times.
Detailed analysis by property type:
- Commercial shophouses: This is the property type that will respond most quickly once Ring Road 4 is completed. Traffic from the Ring Road 4 corridor will stimulate demand for commercial services at roadside stopping points. The estimated rental yield for Hồng Hạc City shophouses is 8–10% per year once the resident community is fully established.
- Detached and semi-detached villas: This property group accumulates capital value over time and is suitable for medium- to long-term investors. Expected capital appreciation is 30–50% over 5 years, particularly when Bắc Ninh achieves its objective of becoming a centrally governed municipality in 2030.
- Townhouses: Suitable for renting to foreign experts at Thuan Thanh I, II and III industrial parks and Samsung Yen Phong. This area brings together hundreds of thousands of experts and engineers looking for high-quality rental homes, creating a stable rental market immediately after handover with an estimated yield of 5-8% a year.

Does Hồng Hạc City catch the Ring Road 4 wave sooner or later than other projects along the same corridor?
Hồng Hạc City catches the Ring Road 4 wave earlier than most projects along the same corridor, because it is one of the few projects officially launched for sale while Ring Road 4 is being built at breakneck speed — that is, the “buy before the road opens” phase, which delivers the highest profit margin to investors.
Meanwhile, most of the land along the Ring Road 4 corridor in the Thuan Thanh area either has no clear planning or is still completing its legal status. Hồng Hạc City is a rare high-end property project with a fully approved 1/500 master plan, long-term freehold legal status (more than 1,000 villas in the Hồng Phát subdivision have been issued with Land Use Right Certificates) and has officially launched phase 1 with 323 properties in Sub-area F1. Conversely, projects launched after Ring Road 4 opens will have to bear a higher new price level, which means significantly thinner margins for early-stage investors.
Which specific reasons underpin Hồng Hạc City’s status as a “golden location” on the Ring Road 4 corridor?
There are 7 specific reasons underpinning Hồng Hạc City’s “golden location” status on the Ring Road 4 corridor, including an optimal 2km distance, a border with Gia Lam, Hanoi, a position within the key northern economic triangle, the credibility of its dual developers, a record-low construction density, long-term freehold legal status and a scarce supply of high-end property in the area.
An analysis of each reason, with practical evidence:
- 2km from Ring Road 4: the strongest radius of infrastructure influence — close enough to enjoy the full connectivity advantage, far enough to ensure a quiet living environment for residents.
- Bordering Gia Lam district, Hanoi: administratively, Hồng Hạc City directly borders Gia Lam, where the Vinhomes Ocean Park mega-urban area is driving property prices across the whole region higher. This is the “next to the capital” advantage that very few Bac Ninh projects possess.
- The Hanoi – Hai Phong – Bac Ninh economic triangle: the triangle with the highest GDP in the north, where FDI, industrial parks, universities and national infrastructure are concentrated, creating a sustainable long-term foundation of property demand.
- Developers Phu My Hung and Nomura Real Estate: two international brands with more than 30 years (Phu My Hung) and more than 70 years (Nomura) of urban development experience, a guarantee of construction quality, handover progress and subsequent operational management.
- Construction density of 27.9%: a record low against the general northern property benchmark, ensuring that green living space accounts for 70% of the area and creating a scarcity that holds its value over time.
- Transparent legal status, long-term freehold: more than 1,000 villas in the Hồng Phát subdivision have completed the procedures for Land Use Right Certificates, evidence of complete legal status and of safety for investment capital.
- Scarce high-end supply: within a 5km radius of the Ring Road 4 stretch through Thuan Thanh, Hồng Hạc City is the only large-scale high-end property project developed by an internationally reputable developer, with no direct competitor in the same segment.
Should you invest in Hồng Hạc City now, as Ring Road 4 nears completion?
Yes, this is the optimal moment to invest in Hồng Hạc City, because the project is at the end of the “buy before the road opens” phase, when prices do not yet fully reflect the Ring Road 4 advantage, while the legal status is already complete and construction progress is transparent.
Investors need to consider all three key groups of factors before deciding:
Current opportunity factors:
- Ring Road 4 is entering its completion phase in 2026, leaving only a limited window to buy at “before the road opens” prices.
- Phase 1 (Hồng Phát subdivision, Sub-area F1, 323 properties) is now on sale with a payment policy of 20% until handover, 70% loan support, a principal grace period and 0% interest until handover from Vietcombank, VietinBank and ACB.
- Prices range from VND 125-160 million/m2 depending on the property’s location, including detached villas (17 units, 271-470m2 of land), semi-detached villas (42 units, 180-247m2 of land) and townhouses.
Risk factors to note:
- It requires strong financial capacity; this is not a mass-market product.
- Because this is the project’s early phase, early residents must accept a construction environment alongside the next subdivisions.
- The psychological distance factor: although it is only 25km from Hanoi, crossing the Duong river may be a barrier for some inner-city customers; however, this barrier will be removed entirely once the bridge system and Ring Road 4 are complete.
Conclusion: Hồng Hạc City is best suited to medium- to long-term investors (3-5 years) seeking capital appreciation and a stable expert rental yield, in a context where Ring Road 4 is nearing the finish line and Bac Ninh is on its way to becoming a centrally-run city by 2030.
Beyond Ring Road 4, which other infrastructure ecosystems add further value to Hồng Hạc City?
Hồng Hạc City benefits from a three-tier infrastructure ecosystem at once: road (Ring Road 4 and National Highway 17), air (Gia Binh airport, 16km away) and rail (the Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong international intermodal line running through the area) — a rare combination that very few residential property projects in the north possess simultaneously.
In addition, the synergy of the three infrastructure tiers creates a “leverage multiplier” effect: if Ring Road 4 alone already creates a potential price increase of 30-50%, adding the advantages of Gia Binh airport and the intermodal railway will create a more multi-dimensional and more sustainable value foundation over the long term.
Hồng Hạc City is 16km from Gia Binh Airport: how will this future aviation advantage affect property values?
Hồng Hạc City is only about 16km from Gia Binh international airport, equivalent to a 20-25 minute drive once the Gia Binh expressway is complete. This is an ideal distance in airport urban planning: close enough for convenient access, far enough to avoid the high-noise zone under international standards. In Vietnam, property within a 15-20km radius of Long Thanh airport (Dong Nai) has risen by an average of 40-60% over the past 5 years, providing a practical basis for assessing Hồng Hạc City’s potential when Gia Binh airport comes into operation in the future.
What opportunities does the Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong international intermodal rail line bring to Hồng Hạc City residents and investors?
The Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong international intermodal rail line running through the Thuan Thanh area will turn Hồng Hạc City into a link in the cross-border logistics corridor, opening up potential for shophouse lettings serving import-export trade and international experts. This is a rare attribute: very few residential property projects in Bac Ninh possess road (Ring Road 4), air (Gia Binh airport) and rail (international intermodal) advantages at the same time, creating a multi-layered and sustainable value foundation that goes far beyond single-advantage urban areas in the same region, especially given that Bac Ninh is the country’s FDI capital.
