The Bac Ninh Industrial Zones Authority has been tasked with working directly with enterprises and urging them to implement worker accommodation projects.

New rental housing buildings inaugurated and put into operation by Fugiang Co., Ltd. at Van Trung Industrial Park.

Meanwhile, the Department of Construction is accelerating appraisal procedures and investor selection, and studying ways to increase the proportion of long-term rental apartments in social housing projects located in suitable areas.

According to the Department of Construction, the province currently has about 5,200 social housing units for rent, 3,487 worker accommodation units within industrial parks, and nearly 13,900 rental rooms built by private households.

In addition, four worker housing projects are under development, providing a total of more than 5,200 apartments.

A significant milestone was the inauguration and commissioning of Buildings A11, A13, and A15 of the Van Trung social housing project, developed by Fugiang Co., Ltd., in early June 2026.

The three 18-story buildings were constructed on a site of approximately 2.84 hectares and comprise 283 long-term rental apartments ranging from 68 to 70 square metres each.

The project features fully integrated technical infrastructure, fire safety systems, security measures, and essential amenities, providing stable living conditions for workers.

Initially, all apartments will serve employees of Foxconn Group subsidiaries operating in the province.

Experts consider this model well suited to Bac Ninh’s industrial development strategy, enabling many workers to access quality housing without facing the significant financial burden of homeownership.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Pham Van Thinh, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, emphasised that the introduction of long-term rental housing contributes to improving workers’ quality of life and represents an important step in the province’s strategy of combining industrial development with social welfare.

Bac Ninh currently views worker housing not merely as a residential issue but as a key factor in attracting and retaining talent, thereby enhancing the province’s competitiveness amid increasingly intense investment competition among localities.

Following central government directions, Bac Ninh is reviewing land resources, refining policy mechanisms, and expediting investment procedures to create favourable conditions for businesses participating in social housing and rental housing development.

The province has also instructed government agencies to work closely with enterprises to address implementation challenges while researching solutions to increase the supply of rental housing in areas with strong demand.

According to Nguyen Viet Hung, Director of the Department of Construction, alongside promoting social housing for sale, Bac Ninh is gradually building a diverse rental housing ecosystem to meet the needs of various groups, including workers, experts, and public servants working away from their permanent residences.

Notably, Bac Ninh has established a housing fund with planned charter capital of 1 trillion VND (38 million USD) and is implementing a programme to develop social rental housing using the fund’s resources.

This is considered one of the province’s pioneering initiatives to create a stable and sustainable supply of rental housing.

The province is currently reviewing 256 land plots covering more than 753 hectares for social housing and rental housing development during the 2026–2030 period.

At the same time, several new worker accommodation projects are being developed in key industrial parks, including Quang Chau, Nam Son–Hap Linh, Gia Binh, and VSIP Bac Ninh II.
