Overview of 3 old apartment buildings in Hanoi to be renovated and built into 40-storey apartment buildings

Thanh Cong, Giang Vo and Ngoc Khanh apartment complexes will be renovated and rebuilt by Hanoi City in the near future. In particular, the city allows Ba Dinh District to research and develop higher-rise buildings with apartments and resettlement houses, up to 40 floors.

Thanh Cong Apartment Complex currently has 68 buildings 2-5 stories high, built from 1979-1982, with a total population of about 13,400. Most of the buildings have deteriorated.

Of these, one apartment building is classified as level D dangerous (need to relocate residents) is G6A, 6 are classified as level C dangerous (severely damaged) and 14 are classified as level B dangerous (have dangerous structures). A new apartment building is C1 with 18 floors that was put into use in 2018. In the area, there are also more than 500 households living in individual housing projects (collective housing divided into lots and adjacent houses).

The Thanh Cong residential area planning study project covers more than 23 hectares, with an estimated total population of more than 19,500.

The District needs to have specific solutions for the Kim Ma area and the TOD area of ​​S9 station, while also creating a traffic axis combined with landscape, connecting Ngoc Khanh Lake with Giang Vo Lake.
