Orchard Collection Location 2026: Binh Duong’s Infrastructure Boom Explained
Table of Contents
Where your apartment sits determines not just your commute, but your long-term asset value. Orchard Collection sits on Hung Vuong Boulevard in Binh Duong New City — a location that, in 2026, is undergoing one of Vietnam’s most significant infrastructure transformations. Highway 13 is being widened to 60 metres. Ring Road 3 is under construction and set for completion in 2027. Metro Line 1 is being extended northward. In this article, Realtique maps out every infrastructure project affecting Orchard Collection’s accessibility, what each project means for commute times, and why these upgrades are a primary driver of property value in this corridor.

Orchard Collection's Location — Hung Vuong Boulevard, Binh Duong New City
Orchard Collection is located on Hung Vuong Boulevard (formerly DT 743) in Binh Duong Ward, Thu Duc City boundary / Binh Duong New City. This corridor connects directly to the Ho Chi Minh City–Binh Duong expressway axis, placing the project in one of the most strategically positioned residential zones in the Greater Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan area.
| Location Factor | Detail |
|---|---|
| Address | Hung Vuong Boulevard, Binh Duong Ward, Binh Duong Province |
| Distance to HCMC City Centre | Approximately 25–30 km via Highway 13 |
| Distance to Thu Duc District | ~12 km |
| Distance to VSIP Industrial Park | ~1–2 km |
| Nearest Metro Station (planned) | Binh Duong Station — Metro Line 1 Extension |
| Nearest AEON Mall | AEON Mall Binh Duong (~400 m) |
| Nearest International School | Singapore International School, EIU (~2 km) |
The project sits directly on the future Ring Road 3 corridor and within walking distance of the proposed Binh Duong Metro station, making it one of the rare residential developments that benefits simultaneously from road, ring road, and rail upgrades across the 2026–2030 period.
Highway 13 — Widening to 60 Metres (10–14 Lanes)
The single most impactful infrastructure project for Orchard Collection’s commute times is the Highway 13 widening programme. This arterial road — the primary north-south spine connecting Ho Chi Minh City to Binh Duong — is being widened from its current 4–6 lane configuration to a full 60-metre right-of-way with 10 to 14 traffic lanes.
The widening is being implemented in coordinated phases by both Binh Duong Province and Ho Chi Minh City’s transport authorities. The 60-metre cross-section will include: dedicated fast lanes, urban bus rapid transit (BRT) corridors, cyclist and pedestrian lanes, and greenway buffers. When completed, Highway 13 will effectively become a limited-access urban expressway connecting Binh Duong New City to HCMC’s District 1 without the bottlenecks that currently affect the Binh Phuoc–Binh Thanh corridor.
What This Means for Orchard Collection Residents
Current peak-hour drive time from Binh Duong New City to District 1 is approximately 45–60 minutes. Upon completion of the Highway 13 widening and Ring Road 3, transport planning estimates suggest this corridor commute will reduce to 25–35 minutes under normal peak conditions. For residents working in District 1, District 2 (Thu Duc), or the Saigon High-Tech Park, this represents a fundamentally different quality of life.
Importantly, the widening directly increases land values along the Highway 13 corridor. Historical precedent in Vietnam — particularly on Nguyen Van Linh Boulevard in the south and Pham Van Dong in the north — demonstrates that arterial road upgrades of this scale produce 15–25% capital appreciation in adjacent residential zones within 3–5 years of completion.

Ring Road 3 — Ho Chi Minh City & Binh Duong's New Orbital
Ring Road 3 (Vành đai 3) is a national-priority infrastructure project connecting Ho Chi Minh City’s outer districts in an approximately 76-kilometre ring. The road passes through Binh Duong Province, creating a direct orbital link that bypasses the congested inner city while connecting major industrial, logistics, and residential zones.
For Orchard Collection specifically, Ring Road 3 provides:
- Direct connection to Long Thanh Airport (2026): Vietnam’s new international hub, 40–50 km from Binh Duong New City via Ring Road 3
- VSIP Industrial Park access: One of Vietnam’s largest FDI industrial zones, employing tens of thousands of expatriates who are the primary rental target for Orchard Collection
- Saigon High-Tech Park (SHTP) link: Direct route to District 9 tech hub without entering the city core
- East–West orbital: Connects Binh Duong to Dong Nai, Binh Phuoc, and the Greater HCMC ring — essential for logistics professionals
Construction on the Binh Duong section of Ring Road 3 is actively underway as of Q1 2026, with completion targeted for 2026–2027. The timing aligns precisely with Orchard Collection’s handover in Q4 2028, meaning residents moving in will have a substantially complete ring road network available from day one.
Metro Line 1 Extension — Rail Connectivity to HCMC City Centre
Ho Chi Minh City’s Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien) has been extended northward into Binh Duong Province as part of the Greater HCMC Metropolitan Railway Master Plan. The extension adds stations connecting Thu Duc City to Binh Duong Ward, placing a planned station within proximity of the Sycamore masterplan.
When the Binh Duong extension of Metro Line 1 is operational, residents of Orchard Collection will have access to rail-based city centre commutes in approximately 45–60 minutes from Ben Thanh Station — without the unpredictability of road traffic. Bus feeder services from Binh Duong New City to the metro network already operate, with journey times to the CBD estimated at under 60 minutes via bus + metro.
Why Rail Access Matters for Property Values
Properties within 500–800 metres of a metro station command a documented premium in established Asian markets — typically 8–15% over comparable properties further from the line. As Metro Line 1 becomes operational in Binh Duong (expected completion 2028–2030 for the extension segment), properties such as Orchard Collection that are positioned near planned stations will benefit from this premium as the network is built out and ridership grows.
What's Around Orchard Collection — Amenities Within 5km
Beyond the macro infrastructure story, Orchard Collection sits in an area with a mature and growing retail, education, and healthcare ecosystem. The following table summarises key amenities and facilities within a 5km radius:
| Category | Facility | Est. Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Retail | AEON Mall Binh Duong (Uniqlo, MUJI, CGV, food court) | ~400 m |
| Banking | Vietcombank, BIDV, Shinhan Bank branches | ~1–2 km |
| International School | Singapore International School Binh Duong | ~2 km |
| University | Eastern International University (EIU) | ~5 km |
| Elite School | Elite School Binh Duong | ~3 km |
| Healthcare | Becamex Hospital, BVDC International | ~5 km |
| Recreation | WTC Binh Duong commercial centre | ~4 km |
| Industrial Park | VSIP 1 & 2 (major FDI employers) | ~1–2 km |
The proximity to Singapore International School is particularly significant for the expatriate buyer and renter profile. Expat families — the primary tenant group for 3BR and 4BR units — almost universally prioritise international school access within a 20-minute commute. Orchard Collection delivers this without compromise.
Commute Times From Orchard Collection — Key Destinations

| Thu Duc / District 9 | 25–35 min | 15–25 min |
| Saigon High-Tech Park | 30–40 min | 20–30 min |
| VSIP Industrial Park | 5–8 min | 3–5 min |
| Long Thanh Airport (new) | 50–70 min | 35–50 min |
