Dong Hoi City has long been known for its natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Following the merger with Quang Tri Province, Dong Hoi has remained the chosen administrative capital of the new province, opening up numerous opportunities for economic, social, and real estate development.
Comprehensive Planning Orientation Toward a Green Urban Area
The merger of Quang Binh and Quang Tri into the new Quang Tri Province is a strategic move aimed at optimizing resources and enhancing governance efficiency. Under this plan, Dong Hoi City is proposed to serve as the political and administrative center of the new province, thanks to its advantageous geographical location and well-developed infrastructure.

Dong Hoi City is being planned toward becoming a green, civilized, and modern city
The city has undergone significant milestones in urban planning, having been recognized as a Grade-III urban area in 2003 and elevated to Grade-II status by the Prime Minister in 2014. These milestones affirm Dong Hoi's long-term vision in urban development. Simultaneously, the city prioritizes the development of services and high-tech industries with low environmental impact, aligning with its green, civilized, and modern orientation.
Dong Hoi's designation as the new provincial administrative center after the merger will drive shifts in population, capital flow, infrastructure, and investment policies. Particularly, the influx of government agencies, businesses, and workforce into the city will heighten demand for housing, offices, hotels, and other services.
Becoming the new administrative center post-merger has created a strong push for the real estate market. The city, already advantageous in attracting tourism, now further strengthens its administrative standing, which, combined with expanded population and area, draws more people to live and work here. Major investors such as Vin Group, Sun Group, and ROX Living have entered the market, while local enterprises and individual investors are actively seeking land in Dong Hoi's core zones. This reflects strong investor confidence in the city's future development potential.
Opportunities for Real Estate Investors
Dong Hoi City is implementing several urban planning projects to promote sustainable urban development. Decision No. 727/QĐ-UBND in 2025 approved the zoning plan for the urban development area in Loc Ninh Commune, at a scale of 1:2,000, aimed at expanding urban space and meeting future development needs.
In addition, the northern area of the city is being zoned for the development of commercial, service, and entertainment urban zones, including the 10-hectare ROX Living Dong Hoi urban area and the 214-hectare Western Bau Tro Lake urban area. The Bac Ly Ward area is also being planned to become a modern urban zone, covering nearly 995 hectares and with a projected population of approximately 27,617 by 2045.

Among these, the commercial and service urban projects are planned to include numerous hotels and premium apartments. For example, the ROX Living Dong Hoi project comprises 30 villa lots and over 220 adjacent townhouse units. This is one of the real estate projects developed and managed by ROX Living, part of a model urban product line featuring harmonious green landscapes, a cultured residential community, and a diverse range of amenities. ROX Living has selected promising locations to deploy its projects, aiming to create sustainable value systems for both residents and investors.
According to real estate experts, although the growth potential is significant, current real estate prices in Dong Hoi remain reasonable. Land prices range from VND 30 million to VND 40 million per square meter for land plots. Compared to other cities in the region, this price range still offers considerable room for growth, especially as infrastructure and urban planning continue to improve.
At present, the construction of Passenger Terminal T2 at Dong Hoi Airport has commenced, with a construction area of over 106,000 square meters. The city is also connected by national highways and railways, facilitating convenient transportation and trade.
With its strategic location, developed infrastructure, and well-conceived planning, Dong Hoi is poised to become a central hub of the North Central Region. This transformation not only brings a new image to the city but also opens up numerous opportunities for real estate investors. Now is a golden time for investors to seize the opportunity and accompany Dong Hoi in its development journey.
