Starlake Tây Hồ Tây – Premium Planned Township in Hanoi
THT Development Co. (Daewoo E&C)
1 of 3 sub-zones delivered · 2 upcoming 2027
Hanoi's largest Korean-developed planned township — 186 hectares with a 64% green and water ratio, on-site international schools, a 4.5-hectare regulation lake, and government designation as the capital's new ministerial hub. No other western Hanoi township combines this scale, greenery ratio, and Daewoo construction quality.
💰 7,39 tỷ – 145 tỷ📏 195 triệu/m²🏗️ 1 of 3 delivered
186-hectare master-planned urban area at the Tây Hồ Tây (West Lake West) gateway of Hanoi, developed by THT Development — a wholly owned subsidiary of Korea's Daewoo E&C. The township includes the completed H9 CT1 sub-zone (603 luxury apartments across three 24-floor towers) and The Prime Starlake K8HH1 sub-zone (284 apartments across two 26-floor towers, under construction), alongside detached villas, semi-detached houses, townhouses, and shophouses, anchored by a 4.5-hectare regulation lake and on-site international schools. Building density is capped at 36%, leaving 64% of the site to green space, parks, and water. Starlake was designated by the Hanoi government as the new administrative hub for thirteen central ministries.

Family Score
Good
Family appeal is strong here and will improve further as the project matures. Everest School's K-12 campus — one of Hanoi's top-ranked private school systems — is a short walk from the development, and Starlake Park is accessible within the project; two international schools (Dewey West Lake and Horizon International Bilingual School) are also planned within the boundary.
80*
Leisure Score
Excellent
Leisure options are well-rounded within and around the township. Residents have access to a fitness center and an archery sports club close to the development, complemented by a varied mix of cafés and Korean-style dining within easy walking distance.
69
Convenience
Good
Daily convenience is reasonably served in the immediate area. Multiple bank branches and ATMs are clustered within about 700m; on-site daily retail is expected as the development matures, though no named supermarket anchor has been confirmed yet.
68
Health
Good
Medical access is solid for everyday needs. Small clinics serving obstetric, pediatric, and dental care operate within 700m, and Thu Cuc International General Hospital — one of Hanoi's leading private hospitals — is about 2.3 km away.
65
Transit Access
Good
Transit access is adequate for bus-dependent daily travel. Bus stops are located within the development; the nearest metro station (Chùa Hà) is 2.6 km away on the current network.
62
Commute Ease
Good
53 min to Hoàn Kiếm Lake via E11. 12 min walk to bus stop.
23
Nightlife
Below Avg
There is no dedicated nightlife district near the project. Evenings in the area are calm on the social front — scattered karaoke venues in the wider neighborhood cater mainly to local residents rather than forming an active bar or club scene.
50
Quietness
Average
The area is not quiet by residential standards. Several karaoke bars and local entertainment venues sit within about 1.1–1.4 km, and arterial road traffic adds to ambient noise levels throughout the day.

📈 Investor
Solid
Balanced for both homeowners and investors.
Starlake is Hanoi's most comprehensively planned green township west of the lake — strong Daewoo construction quality, a curated school corridor, and a Metro Line 2 station building inside the project boundary. The fundamental tradeoff is pricing: apartments run 130–195 million VND/m² and gross yields sit around 2–2.5%, making this a lifestyle and long-hold capital-appreciation play rather than an income investment.

Why the scores differ
Homeowner: A well-executed choice for homeowners who prioritise green space and school access. THT/Daewoo delivers 186 ha at 36% build density — Everest School K-12 is a short walk away, on-site international schools (Dewey West Lake, Horizon) are in the pipeline, and the 4.5-ha regulation lake anchors a park network. The honest tradeoffs: high ambient noise from surrounding roads, Metro Line 2 targeting 2029–2030, and The Prime Starlake sub-zone handover due mid-2027.
Investor: A solid long-hold asset with institutional fundamentals, not a high-yield income trade. H9 CT1 has pink books, an active secondary market, and a documented Korean/Japanese corporate tenant base — but yields sit around 2–2.5% on current resale prices. The investment thesis rests on Metro Line 2's C3-Tây Hồ Tây station (under construction, targeting 2029–2030) and CBRE's projected +500,000 sqm of office supply in the Starlake cluster by 2030.

•🟢 Metro Line 2 groundbreaking on January 15–16, 2026 confirms full-scale construction — C3-Tây Hồ Tây station inside the project is the most significant near-term connectivity catalyst for Starlake, targeting a 2029–2030 opening that eliminates the Phạm Hùng commute for rail users
•🟢 According to CBRE (May 2026), the Starlake office cluster is projected to receive an additional +500,000 sqm of office supply by 2030, cementing it as Hanoi's second major business district and expanding the white-collar and expat tenant pool for landlords
•🟡 The Prime Starlake primary prices have held flat at 195 million VND/m² across all bedroom types since the September 2025 launch snapshot — stable pricing reflects controlled sales pacing, with no evidence of demand softening or developer discounting
•🟡 Hanoi secondary condo prices averaged 62 million VND/m² (+21% year-on-year) in Q1 2026 per CBRE — H9 CT1 secondary data at 130–178 million VND/m² reflects a luxury premium of 2–3× the city average, consistent with limited comparable supply at this quality tier in western Hanoi
•🔴 Rental yields on H9 CT1 are estimated at 2–2.5% on current resale prices — Hanoi condo absorption fell to 67% in Q1 2026 from 98% in 2025 as mortgage rates rose to 12–15% (CBRE, Q1 2026), which may dampen near-term secondary price momentum

Should you buy here?
Best for:
✓Families with school-age children — Everest School K-12 at 370m, plus Dewey West Lake and Horizon International Bilingual School planned on-site
✓Korean and Japanese expat households in Hanoi's corporate or diplomatic community seeking a familiar township environment
✓Senior Vietnamese buyers wanting low-density, green-township living with tier-1 build quality and long-term freehold title
Not ideal for:
✗Daily Hoàn Kiếm commuters — 30–45 min peak-hour drive via Phạm Hùng; bus transit takes ~53 min without transfers
✗Budget-conscious buyers — H9 CT1 secondary starts at ~15 billion VND and The Prime Starlake primary launches at 195 million VND/m²
Market Trends
H9 CT1 resale prices are holding firm at luxury-tier levels with no signs of distress while The Prime Starlake primary pricing has been stable since launch; the medium-term narrative is defined by the Metro Line 2 and Starlake office cluster catalysts targeting 2029–2030.
Decision Factors
Strengths
✓186-ha township with 64% green and water ratio and a 4.5-ha internal regulation lake — among the highest open-space allocations in Hanoi residential planning, with only 36% build density
✓Everest School K-12 at 370m — one of Hanoi's top-ranked private school systems — and two international schools (Dewey West Lake, Horizon International Bilingual School) planned within the boundary
✓H9 CT1 is fully delivered with pink books issued across 603 luxury apartments; Daewoo E&C construction at 36% site density with a 4-season indoor heated pool and amenity centre
✓Metro Line 2 C3-Tây Hồ Tây station is under full construction inside the project boundary — targeting 2029–2030 operation — providing a future direct rail link to Hoàn Kiếm CBD without navigating Phạm Hùng
Tradeoffs
!High ambient noise — Phạm Hùng arterial and scattered entertainment venues keep quietness low across the township, a persistent livability limitation regardless of internal green space
!Peak-hour commute to central Hanoi is 30–45 minutes by car; Phạm Hùng is the primary access road and congests significantly at the Belt Road 3 interchange
!Gross rental yields on H9 CT1 secondary prices are around 2–2.5%, well below what income investors typically target — this is a capital-appreciation story, not a yield story
Watch items
?The Prime Starlake (Towers E and F, 284 apartments) topped out in May 2026 and targets mid-2027 handover — pink books will be processed post-handover; buyers should verify construction progress and confirm the handover timeline before committing
?Metro Line 2 C3-Tây Hồ Tây is the primary connectivity catalyst — any delay past 2030 extends Phạm Hùng commute dependence and affects the capital-appreciation timeline
?On-site international schools (Dewey West Lake, Horizon International Bilingual School) are planned but not yet operating — families with immediate school needs should verify opening timelines directly with the developer

🔇 Moderate Noise🛣️ Not Near Highway
A mix of senior Vietnamese professionals and business owners alongside expatriate families — predominantly Korean and Japanese nationals affiliated with Daewoo E&C and the broader Korean corporate network in Hanoi — augmented by diplomatic tenants drawn to the nearby government ministries. The township's scale, planned international schools, gated security, and high green ratio attract households that prioritise space, safety, and school access over CBD proximity.
Things to consider (not deal breakers)
⚠️ Traffic

Phạm Hùng is the primary access route and backs up substantially during peak hours, particularly at the intersections with Khuất Duy Tiến and Trần Duy Hưng. Most destinations in central Hanoi require navigating through or around the Belt Road 3 interchange.
→ Multiple gates with alternative exits via Đỗ Nhuận and Nguyễn Văn Huyên extended reduce dependence on Phạm Hùng alone. The internal road grid is designed for low-density mixed-use traffic.
🌊 Flood Risk

The Tây Hồ Tây area sits on relatively low-lying ground west of West Lake. Internal township roads are elevated above surrounding public streets, but adjacent public roads can experience surface flooding after heavy rain.
→ Township internal drainage connects to a planned stormwater network. Villa pads are elevated and building podiums provide additional first-floor flood margins.
Active secondary market across the three towers; two-bedroom apartments typically listed around 140 million VND/m² and three-bedroom units around 154 million VND/m², with the full range spanning 130–178 million VND/m² by floor and aspect. Resale supply is present but not deep — listings turn over at a measured pace consistent with a premium township.
Secondary shophouse market has limited active data — current listing depth fell below the tracking threshold. Monthly commercial rents in the corridor historically ranged 45–120 million VND depending on unit size and tenant type, driven by demand from businesses serving the diplomatic and corporate district.
Primary market only — all units are sourced direct from the developer at 195 million VND/m² across one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom configurations; pricing has held flat since launch with no discounting observed. No resale listings are currently tracked for this sub-zone.

Notable Places
3D Indoor Golf Simulator
Five-screen 3D golf simulator inside the Phase 1 amenity centre — a high-end residential amenity not commonly found even at the luxury segment in Hanoi. Allows year-round indoor play without driving to an external course.
Dewey West Lake
International school within the township boundary (Lot H3-LC), serving primary and secondary levels. One of two branded schools inside Starlake, eliminating daily school commutes for resident families.
Horizon International Bilingual School
Bilingual Cambridge International curriculum school inside the Starlake boundary, running from kindergarten through secondary. A second distinct school brand within the project, giving families a curriculum choice without leaving the township.
Indoor Heated Pool
Four-season indoor heated pool in the Phase 1 amenity centre — rare among Hanoi residential projects where most outdoor pools close through the cool winter months. Paired with a spa and fitness facilities within the same building.
Starlake Regulation Lake
4.5-hectare artificial lake at the centre of the township — one of the larger on-site water features in Hanoi residential projects. Doubles as a scenic focal point and stormwater regulation basin, with walking paths running around the perimeter.
