Investor FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is The Berkley?
SonKim Land — a single boutique tower of just 85 residences on the Vo Nguyen Giap gateway in Thao Dien. Five homes per floor, 3.3 m ceilings, 81–176 m². Long-term ownership with a built-in short-term-rental licence. Handover Q4 2026. It is offered to both owner-occupiers and investors, and is published here only after being verified for foreign-ownership eligibility under Vietnam's Housing Law 2023.
Where is The Berkley located?
The Berkley is located in Thao Dien · HCMC, Ho Chi Minh. Our advisory team can share the exact address, masterplan position, and the surrounding transport and amenity context on request.
Can foreigners buy apartments at The Berkley?
Yes — foreigners can buy eligible condominium units when the project is cleared for foreign ownership and its 30%-per-building quota is not full. The full pathway: (1) you purchase via an official Sale & Purchase Agreement (SPA) signed directly with the developer; (2) you hold a 50-year leasehold, renewable under the Housing Law 2023; (3) you can freely resell or lease the home during that term, with proceeds repatriable; (4) when the home is resold to a Vietnamese national, the title converts to permanent (freehold) ownership. We confirm the remaining foreign quota for The Berkley before any reservation.
Can a foreigner resell an apartment at The Berkley?
Yes. During your 50-year term you can freely resell or lease The Berkley. If you sell to another eligible foreigner, the 50-year leasehold continues within the building's foreign quota; if you sell to a Vietnamese national, the title converts to permanent (freehold) ownership for that buyer. Sale proceeds are repatriable when the original purchase funds came in through the regulated Vietnamese banking channel.
What is the price of The Berkley in 2026?
Pricing varies by tower, unit size, view, floor, payment schedule, and launch phase. Rather than quote a stale figure, we provide the latest developer price list together with all taxes, fees, and current foreign-buyer availability so you can compare like-for-like before booking.
Who is the developer of The Berkley?
The Berkley is developed by SonKim Land. Before purchasing, foreign investors should review the developer's track record, the project's legal status, the construction timeline, the sale & purchase agreement, and the handover standard — all of which our team verifies for you.
Is The Berkley a good investment for rental income?
The Berkley may appeal to tenants seeking quality housing in Thao Dien · HCMC, but rental performance depends on your purchase price, unit layout, handover quality, competing supply, tenant demand, and management fees. We can model an indicative net yield for a specific unit using current market rents.
What amenities does The Berkley offer?
The Berkley is marketed around modern living with landscaped areas and lifestyle facilities. Specific amenities can differ by tower and handover phase, so we confirm the exact facility list against the official developer brochure before you commit.
What documents should foreign buyers check before buying The Berkley?
Check the project's legal eligibility for foreign ownership, remaining foreign quota, the sale & purchase agreement, the payment schedule, pink-book (ownership certificate) terms, developer approvals, the bank guarantee for off-plan sales, and all taxes and fees. Independent legal review is strongly recommended — our in-house legal counsel handles this end-to-end.
How does The Berkley compare with other projects in Ho Chi Minh?
Compare on price per square metre, location and view, unit efficiency, developer brand, handover specification, expected rental demand, and remaining foreign quota. We can prepare a side-by-side comparison against other verified projects so you know whether the premium is justified.
