HCM City raises environmental protection, parking fees
	Hanoi to build 8 underground parking lots in Ba Dinh

Startling numbers

The latest data reveals a severe shortage of parking lots in Hanoi. Although the city plans for 1,690 parking lots, only 72 have been built to date. Moreover, while the static traffic area is supposed to meet 30% of the city's needs, it currently only covers 0.5%.

This scarcity is particularly critical in densely populated areas with many high-rise buildings, where infrastructure struggles to meet demand. Car owners are often forced to use temporary parking lots at varying prices or even resort to parking on sidewalks.

Hoang Liet ward, the most populous in Hanoi, exemplifies this issue. Despite having a population equivalent to a district, it suffers from a significant lack of parking spaces. Reports indicate that Hoang Liet ward has nearly 100 apartment buildings, but only 9 have basements, leading to inevitable spontaneous parking. A resident from the HH Linh Dam apartment complex noted that the urban area comprises 12 buildings but only has one basement for motorbikes, with no basement for cars.

Nguyen Minh Trang, a resident of Linh Dam peninsula, shared that her family has had to park their car in an uncovered lot since purchasing it. “Rain or shine, even storms, the car is exposed like that. I am afraid that the property will be damaged quickly, but there is no other way,” Trang expressed.

Another resident in Ha Dong highlighted a similar issue, noting that the apartment building he resides in has a basement, but it only meets about 50% of the car parking demand. Consequently, the sidewalk area around the building has been turned into a parking lot, costing residents 1.3 million VND per month for a spot.

Experts explain that the primary reason many buildings lack large-scale parking garages is the significant investment required to build underground garages, which often do not yield substantial returns from parking fees. This financial challenge makes investors cautious when designing and constructing such facilities.

Rare project with 3 smart parking basements

Given the scarcity of parking spaces, projects that offer large-scale, modern parking solutions are becoming increasingly prominent and sought after by those with real housing needs.

In Hoang Liet ward, both existing residents and new buyers are turning their attention to the Hanoi Melody Residences project. This high-end development is poised to offer the most advanced and comprehensive amenities in the area, including 20 internal utilities, with the standout feature being its three smart parking basements.

A smart and spacious parking garage is one of the key features attracting buyers to Hanoi Melody Residences, according to a quick customer survey. Minh Khang, who owns a 2-bedroom apartment in the project, shared, "This is my first home purchase, and everyone recommended choosing a place with a large parking garage. After researching several projects, I was immediately impressed with Hanoi Melody Residences because it has three basement floors for parking."

The parking garages at Hanoi Melody Residences utilize pallet-moving technology, enhancing connectivity between buildings. The investor has designed both separate and shared parking floors, ensuring resident privacy while providing essential common amenities.

Duc, another resident, commented, "In my resident group, there was a discussion about parking, and someone mentioned Hanoi Melody Residences, which boasts both a smart parking garage and a large swimming pool area. After researching and visiting the project's location and model house, I immediately decided on a 3-bedroom apartment."

The project owns the most abundant internal facilities in the area.

The combination of smart parking facilities and nearly 20 other internal amenities, including swimming pools, kindergartens, children's parks, and multi-purpose sports areas, makes Hanoi Melody Residences highly attractive to home buyers. Right at the apartment's doorstep is a diverse ecosystem encompassing commerce, health, education, and a secure environment.
