Eco-friendly real estate developments have been identified as
the upcoming trend in Vietnam but experts have raised
concerns about the lack of standards in regard to such
developments. According to the Ministry of Construction, it
confirmed that there are no standards for eco-friendly
projects as it is a relatively new concept. These projects
are typically priced higher and are being developed in
coastal areas or adjacent to water bodies. It was reported
that investors see potential in these products as this
market is considered to be relatively underdeveloped in
Vietnam. |
