Updated 21 October 2026 — quick answer: The Prime apartment line in the Starlake urban area (Tay Ho Tay new urban area) has two phases on the same plot, K8, fronting Vo Chi Cong Street. K8HH1 is the first phase, launched in late 2025 with 284 units in two 26-storey apartment towers plus an office tower; according to the developer, all of them have been sold. K8CT1 (“Westlake Edition”) is the second phase, now on sale: four towers, K8A–K8D, 23 storeys high, with 656 units, 100% residential, including 4-bedroom apartments and a higher share of West Lake (Ho Tay) views. Residents of both phases share the central plaza and central park.

Starlake zoning map (Tay Ho Tay urban area)
The Starlake urban area covers 186.6 ha in two phases: Phase 1 of about 114.8 ha and Phase 2 of about 71.8 ha. The developer’s zoning map colour-codes each type of land: high-rise residential, low-rise residential (villas), mixed-use residential, green space, the regulating lake, schools, commercial land, the ministry office zone and the metro station locations.
Each plot has a planning code. Under the notation commonly used in Hanoi urban planning, HH denotes mixed-use land (housing combined with offices and retail), while CT denotes high-rise apartment land. That is why K8HH1 includes an office tower, while K8CT1 is made up of 100% residential towers. Elsewhere in the urban area, Daewoo E&C Vina also presents other The Prime-branded developments on other plots, such as The Prime Edu (plot K2HH1) and The Prime Wellness (plot H1HH1).
About 35 ha inside the urban area is reserved for ministry headquarters; the Ministry of Public Security’s Technical and Operations Centre has already been completed. According to the developer’s Q&A, construction and the relocation of agencies with urgent needs begin in 2026–2030, and headquarters for the remaining ministries will be built in 2030–2035.
How many phases does The Prime have?
“Starlake” is the brand of the urban area, while “The Prime” is the brand of the premium apartment line developed by THT Development Co., Ltd and built by Daewoo E&C. As of October 2026, The Prime has two phases:
- The Prime K8HH1: launched in late 2025 with 284 units. The developer says all units have been sold.
- The Prime K8CT1 – Westlake Edition: the second phase, with written confirmation that its off-plan homes are eligible for sale to Vietnamese buyers from 17 July 2026. The developer has filed its application to sell to foreign buyers; Realtique checks the approval status and remaining quota before you reserve a unit. The current sales policy does not apply to buyers holding Chinese (PRC) nationality.
Many people searching for “Starlake Phase 2” mix up the terms: Phase 2 is a phase of the urban area (71.8 ha), within which K8HH1 is the first release and K8CT1 the second release of The Prime line.

How does K8CT1 differ from K8HH1?
The developer’s Q&A lists the main differences of K8CT1:
- 100% residential towers, with no office tower in the phase.
- A 4-bedroom layout (143.92 m² net) for multi-generational families.
- More units with panoramic West Lake views: K8HH1 is oriented towards the quiet inner areas of the urban area, while K8CT1 has a higher share of lake-view units. Views may change under Hanoi’s general plan.
- Additional amenities: a shopping area in the podium, self-service laundry, a Kid’s Café on levels 1–2 of Tower C, a yoga and meditation area in Tower C, Study Coffee co-working space, a Mom’s Station in Tower B and a 1:1 parking ratio.
- Interiors and engineering: ceiling fans in the living room; the central water filtration system adds a water softener (removing calcium and magnesium by ion exchange).
Do residents of the two phases share amenities?
According to the developer, the detailed rules will be set out in the residents’ handbook issued at handover. Thanks to the low building density, residents of both K8HH1 and K8CT1 can use each other’s amenities. The amenities are commercial areas owned by the developer, and residents pay the fees published once they open (these are not part of the management fee); the developer may open some areas to outside guests but commits to managing them so that residents are not affected.
Numbers 1–7 belong to K8HH1: outdoor pool, indoor pool, mother-and-baby cafe, sauna, GX & fitness, indoor golf club, management office. Numbers 8–22 belong to K8CT1: Mom’s Station, lounge, indoor pool, outdoor pool, study room, laundry, table tennis, kids’ play area, sauna, yoga & fitness, indoor golf club, fitness & GX, management office, central plaza, central park.
