The Hillview project began as a worker housing complex in the Que Vo industrial park in 2012. In 2016, Song Hong expanded it into a dedicated social housing scheme with six planned towers.

Four towers were completed earlier, including Tower T3 in 2018. The final two buildings, T1 and T2, mark the project’s completion.

Covering 1.6 hectares with a total floor area of 57,000 square meters, the development comprises 638 apartments. The two new towers add 258 units with a combined investment of about 212 billion VND (9.3 million USD), part of the project’s total 403 billion VND budget.

Susilo Gani Tandjung speaks at the ceremony.

The complex can house more than 3,000 residents. Construction was carried out by Licogi 13 FC, a Hanoi-based contractor, and completed on schedule after one year.

The new towers offer two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 41 to 70 square meters, along with amenities such as a kindergarten, community rooms, playgrounds, fitness areas and landscaped pedestrian streets between the buildings.

At the inauguration, PPC Vice Chairman Ngo Tan Phuong praised the investor, contractors and local authorities for overcoming difficulties to complete the project on time and to quality standards.

He stressed that social housing is a key policy of the Communist Party and government, aimed at improving living conditions for low-income workers and vulnerable groups while ensuring balanced economic and social development.

Bac Ninh, part of the Hanoi metropolitan region and a major hub for electronics and high-tech manufacturing, employs more than 700,000 workers in its industrial parks. The demand for affordable housing is urgent, the provincial leader said.

Under the government’s plan to build at least 1 million social housing units by 2030, Bac Ninh has been assigned to develop around 147,100 apartments. So far, the province has launched 72 projects covering 257 hectares, with Que Vo Hillview among the most important.

The PPC Vice Chairman called on the investor to ensure effective management and operation of the buildings, while urging provincial departments and localities to continue removing obstacles so that workers can quickly access the housing and benefit from the government’s social housing policies.
