1/500 Master Plan: The key legal foundation shaping the model urban area An Huy Mỹ Việt

The 1/500 Detailed Planning Serves as a Key Legal Basis for Construction Projects

A recent survey by Batdongsan.com.vn shows that in the first six months of 2025, 64% of homebuyers purchased for actual living needs, while 36% invested for profit. Among investors participating in the survey, whether in the primary or secondary market, legal compliance remains a key consideration when engaging in real estate projects. This indicates a growing trend of cautious decision-making, rather than chasing speculative waves, planning rumors, or short-term price surges as in the past, contributing to a more positive and sustainable reshaping of the real estate market.

According to real estate experts, buyers are increasingly cautious because transparent and complete legal frameworks serve as a foundation for confidence when investing in projects for profit or long-term residence.

Among the legal documents that must be verified before committing to a project, the 1/500 detailed planning is considered particularly important, as it determines the transparency and legitimacy of a real estate project. This planning document serves as the basis for construction permits and investment project approvals. It also forms the legal foundation for land clearance and compensation, ensuring that project implementation proceeds smoothly and clearly.

Dr. Architect Truong Van Quang, Deputy General Secretary of the Vietnam Association of Urban Planning and Development, emphasizes: “The 1/500 detailed planning plays a crucial role as the initial step in project implementation.”

Providing a deeper analysis of the 1/500 detailed planning, Dr. Truong Van Quang emphasized that this plan holds not only legal significance but also substantial urban planning value. The 1/500 detailed plan concretizes the subdivision planning and clarifies the general master plan, serving as a clear foundation for designing construction works and detailed infrastructure.

The 1/500 plan specifies each land plot and clarifies key indicators such as construction density, building height, land use coefficient, green space ratio, urban ventilation, infrastructure connections, utility services (electricity, water), traffic density, and environmental protection. This contributes to shaping the project’s physical appearance in a rapid and precise manner, providing an overall vision of spatial arrangement and land allocation, ensuring harmony and efficiency in land use, optimizing resources, enhancing residents’ quality of life, and facilitating the synchronized development of the project and surrounding areas.

From an environmental perspective, one of the critical elements of the 1/500 detailed plan is the environmental impact assessment. This includes analyzing and evaluating the project’s effects on the natural and social environment, proposing appropriate solutions to ensure sustainable development, minimize negative environmental impacts, and protect public health. According to Dr. Truong Van Quang, this forms the foundation for maintaining long-term sustainable growth for real estate projects.

In particular, Dr. Architect Truong Van Quang also emphasized that in management activities, the 1/500 detailed planning map helps competent authorities, investors, and construction units gain an overall view of the project, closely monitor construction progress, and ensure that the project is built according to its intended direction, approved plan, and master plan. This, in turn, supports authorities in safeguarding the rights of buyers and helps minimize disputes related to land use and infrastructure.

1/500 Master Plan of An Huy Mỹ Việt: A Strategic Vision for a Model Urban Area

As one of the projects with an approved 1/500 master plan, An Huy Mỹ Việt Urban Area in Đức Hòa, Long An (now Đức Lập Commune, Tây Ninh Province), developed by An Huy Real Estate Joint Stock Company (An Huy Group), is attracting significant attention from investors due to its transparent legal framework and synchronized planning. Specifically, the project has been approved under the 1/500 master plan according to Decision No. 3093/QĐ-UBND dated March 22, 2023, issued by the People’s Committee of Đức Hòa District (former), clearly defining functional zones, construction density, architectural landscape, and technical infrastructure requirements. Additionally, the project has also received the sales permit.

Overall View of An Huy Mỹ Việt Urban Area

Positioned as a model urban area with a green and modern lifestyle while retaining a touch of national identity, An Huy Mỹ Việt has been fully planned with synchronized technical infrastructure and comprehensive social facilities. The project is expected to offer nearly 2,250 products, including land plots, townhouses, villas, and shophouses, featuring elegant architecture that harmoniously blends cultural beauty with youthful sophistication.

An Huy Mỹ Việt Urban Area is divided into three sub-zones: Cửu Long, Thăng Long, and Tây Bắc. Each sub-zone features dedicated spaces for greenery, parks, and scenic lakes. Notably, the Thăng Long sub-zone boasts the highlight of a 6-hectare Heritage Park with an investment of over VND 350 billion, recreating famous Vietnamese cultural symbols such as the One-Pillar Pagoda, Bến Thành Market, Ngọc Sơn Temple, and more. This landmark not only holds cultural and spiritual value but also positions An Huy Mỹ Việt as one of the few projects developed under the former Đức Hòa District’s vision to build eco-friendly, culturally rich urban areas, transforming the region into a cultural and historical tourism hub integrated with riverside entertainment activities along the Vàm Cỏ Đông River.

To fully meet the modern and sophisticated living, entertainment, educational, healthcare, and lifestyle needs of its community, An Huy Mỹ Việt is further integrated with a series of superior “all-in-one” amenities.

Inside the urban area, residents will have access to a comprehensive range of amenities, including a football field, pickleball courts, cafés, exhibition houses, a 15.5-hectare natural lakeside walking path, a shopping center, kindergarten, and primary school. In particular, An Huy Mỹ Việt is planned with a fully synchronized internal infrastructure, featuring wide asphalted roads lined with greenery, underground electricity and water systems, and spacious sidewalks.

Moreover, the project is surrounded by premium external amenities, such as a complete educational system from kindergarten to university, hospitals, commercial centers, bus terminals, airports, and metro stations.

Strategically located in the central area of the former Đức Hòa District, An Huy Mỹ Việt benefits from excellent connectivity. The surrounding transportation network includes the Saigon – Trung Luong Expressway, National Highway N2, DT 824, DT 823D, Ring Roads 3 and 4, and National Highway 1. These connections allow residents to reach Ho Chi Minh City’s center and other major cities like Bình Dương, Đồng Nai, and the Southeast region quickly and conveniently.

In addition, the project is poised to benefit from future infrastructure developments, including the completion and operation of the Ho Chi Minh City – Mộc Bài Metro Line, further enhancing its connectivity and investment potential.

An Huy Mỹ Việt: an ideal destination for investors and residents

With numerous advantages, An Huy Mỹ Việt fully meets the criteria to become a model urban area: clear legal framework, synchronized planning, and convenient infrastructure. These factors lay the foundation for sustainable value appreciation and long-term investment potential, while also creating a civilized and comfortable living environment for residents seeking permanent homes.

As a prominent project in Long An province (now part of Tây Ninh) – a region within the Southern key economic zone and a gateway connecting the Southeast, Southwest, and Ho Chi Minh City – An Huy Mỹ Việt benefits significantly from post-merger infrastructure developments, positioning it to lead the upcoming real estate growth cycle in the area.

According to Savills Vietnam experts, there are three main drivers fueling the potential appreciation of Long An (now Tây Ninh) real estate. First is the advantageous location; second is the abundant vacant land, expected to become an ideal alternative for large urban areas that are gradually running out of supply nearby; third is FDI-attracting policies that make the province a hotspot for industrial parks.

With numerous outstanding advantages, An Huy Mỹ Việt not only offers sustainable investment potential but also provides long-term residential opportunities.

Notably, the former Đức Hòa area (now Đức Lập commune, Tây Ninh province) has become an attractive destination for population relocation from Ho Chi Minh City, while the trend of major real estate players moving into the area underscores its growing appeal. Additionally, this region hosts the largest industrial parks in Long An (now Tây Ninh), attracting a substantial migrant workforce, which in turn drives housing and service demand, creating significant growth opportunities for investment properties like An Huy Mỹ Việt.

Moreover, An Huy Mỹ Việt is considered a top choice for end-users seeking a quality living environment, offering a green space and a modern, fully integrated ecosystem. With reasonable building density, ample green areas, natural lakes, parks, walking paths, and public amenities, the project is ideal for long-term residency. These are the core values derived from careful, synchronized, and modern urban planning that a project like An Huy Mỹ Việt brings to its residents.
