Starlake Hanoi Location: Tay Ho Tay Urban Area, New Ward, Metro Links and Starlake The Prime K8CT1
Updated 21 October 2026 — quick answer: Starlake Hanoi, the Starlake urban area (planning name: Tay Ho Tay New Urban Area), covers 186.6 ha on the west bank of West Lake (Ho Tay), Hanoi. It was planned and developed by Daewoo E&C (South Korea) with total investment of about US$3.2 billion. Its main frontage is Vo Chi Cong Street, a 12-lane artery leading to Nhat Tan Bridge and on to Noi Bai International Airport. Before 2025, the urban area lay within Xuan La (Tay Ho), Nghia Do (Cau Giay), Xuan Tao and Co Nhue (Bac Tu Liem) wards. The Starlake The Prime K8CT1 apartment phase fronts Vo Chi Cong Street; the developer’s October 2026 documents give its address as Xuan Dinh Ward.

Where is Starlake Hanoi (Tay Ho Tay urban area)?
Starlake is the trading name of Tay Ho Tay New Urban Area, one of the largest direct investments by a Korean company in Hanoi real estate. It sits right on the west bank of West Lake: the lake lies to the east, the former Cau Giay district to the south and the former Bac Tu Liem district to the west. Ba Dinh and the Old Quarter are to the south-east, while Nhat Tan Bridge and the road to Noi Bai International Airport are to the north-east.
The urban area’s main artery is Vo Chi Cong Street, a 12-lane avenue running along its eastern side and straight onto Nhat Tan Bridge. Inside, the developer has completed the internal road network, including a 40 m road that is waiting for the authorities to approve its connection to Vo Chi Cong. West of the lake, Ring Road 2.5 (the extension of Nguyen Van Huyen) runs right past the urban area, linking Cau Giay with the Nguyen Hoang Ton area.
According to the developer’s location map, Starlake’s surroundings include the Korean Embassy, the Ministry of Public Security headquarters, Hoa Binh Park, Nghia Do Park, the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, E Hospital, the National Lung Hospital, Thu Cuc Hospital and a string of international schools such as Concordia, UNIS Hanoi (United Nations International School), Hanoi Academy and the Korean International School Hanoi. Each group is covered in What is around Starlake.
Which ward is Starlake in after the 2025 administrative reorganisation?
Before Hanoi abolished the district level and reorganised its wards and communes from 1 July 2025, the 186.6-hectare urban area spanned four former wards: Xuan La (Tay Ho District), Nghia Do (Cau Giay District), Xuan Tao and Co Nhue (Bac Tu Liem District). That is why documents and press articles from before 2025 often describe Starlake as “a project in Tay Ho” or “in Bac Tu Liem”, depending on the plot.
The developer’s sales documents issued in October 2026 give the address of Starlake The Prime K8CT1 as Xuan Dinh Ward, Hanoi, on Vo Chi Cong Street. Because the urban area is large, other plots (the Phase 1 villas, the office zone, the school zone) may fall under other new wards. When you buy a specific unit, the exact address is the one stated in the sale and purchase agreement (SPA) and on the ownership certificate (pink book).
Getting around: Vo Chi Cong Street, the ring roads and two metro lines
| Route | Connection to Starlake | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Vo Chi Cong Street (12 lanes) | Frontage of the urban area and of K8CT1; connects via Nhat Tan Bridge and Vo Nguyen Giap Avenue to Noi Bai International Airport | In operation. The developer estimates about 15 minutes to Noi Bai and 10 minutes to the city centre |
| Nhat Tan Bridge, Thang Long Bridge | Two crossings over the Red River to Noi Bai and the northern provinces | In operation |
| Ring Roads 2, 2.5 and 3 | Vo Chi Cong is a section of Ring Road 2; Ring Road 2.5 runs west of the lake; Ring Road 3 (Pham Van Dong) lies further west | According to press reports on 12 October 2026, the Ring Road 2.5 section extending Nguyen Van Huyen is expected to open to traffic (technical opening) in October 2026 |
| Tay Thang Long Avenue | 10-lane avenue starting at Vo Chi Cong and running west to National Highway 32 (about 34 km long, according to the developer) | Expected completion in 2027 |
| Metro Line 2 (Nam Thang Long – Tran Hung Dao) | Runs through Starlake, with its depot in Xuan Dinh; about 11.5 km long, mostly underground | Targeted to open in 2029 |
| Metro Line 10 (Dong Anh – Vo Chi Cong – Times City) | Runs along Vo Chi Cong | Planned |
| 40 m internal road | Main road inside the urban area, connecting to Vo Chi Cong | Completed by the developer and handed over to the city; awaiting approval to connect |
The location’s key strength is that you do not have to cross the city centre to reach the airport: from Vo Chi Cong you go straight onto Nhat Tan Bridge and then along Vo Nguyen Giap Avenue. This is why foreign professionals and companies choose the Tay Ho Tay area to live and to set up offices.
What is around Starlake: embassies, international schools, hospitals
- Diplomatic and government: the Korean Embassy and the Ministry of Public Security headquarters; the 35-hectare ministry headquarters zone lies within the urban area itself.
- Schools: inside the urban area are Dewey Schools (American curriculum, open since February 2021) and four planned K–12 school clusters for about 6,719 students; nearby are Concordia Hanoi, UNIS Hanoi, Hanoi Academy and the Korean International School Hanoi.
- Healthcare: E Hospital, the National Lung Hospital and Thu Cuc Hospital in the Cau Giay – Tay Ho area.
- Parks and culture: Hoa Binh Park, Nghia Do Park and the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology; West Lake and the international hotels on its eastern shore.
- Shopping: coming soon inside the urban area are Westlake Square (Takashimaya, expected 2027) and Thiso Mall Tay Ho Tay with an E-mart (expected 2027).
Inside the urban area: what is already there and what is coming
According to the developer, only about 16% of the 186.6 ha is set aside for commercial housing. The rest goes to ministry and government offices, offices, hotels, retail, schools, a 4.5 ha regulating lake and a 6.5 ha plaza; the planned population is about 24,300. The project’s land-use term runs to 2062 (Vietnamese buyers still hold long-term ownership of their apartments).

The full zoning map (high-rise, low-rise and mixed-use residential land, schools, ministry offices, metro stations) and a comparison of the two The Prime phases are in K8HH1 and K8CT1 phases.
Starlake The Prime location within the urban area
Starlake The Prime K8CT1 is the second apartment phase of The Prime line, on plot K8 fronting Vo Chi Cong Street, next to the first phase, K8HH1. The two phases share the central plaza and the central park (public areas that will be handed over to the city to manage).
K8CT1 comprises four towers, K8A, K8B, K8C and K8D, each 23 storeys high, on a 23,168 m² site, with 656 apartments in total. The developer calls it the “Westlake Edition” because a higher share of its units look out over West Lake than at K8HH1: the fullest lake views are from the 4-bedroom apartments, followed by some 3BR, 2BR and 1BR units. Under Hanoi’s general plan, views may change as other buildings go up.
