Starlake, also known as Tay Ho Tay or West of Westlake, is being developed as a new administrative, commercial and residential centre for Hanoi. Covering approximately 186.6 hectares, the district brings together government institutions, international businesses, premium offices, hotels, shopping destinations and high-end residential communities within a coordinated master plan.
The vision is comparable in concept to the development of major international business districts such as La Défense in Paris, Canary Wharf in London and Lujiazui in Shanghai. Each represents a different approach to creating a modern concentration of business activity, major landmarks and premium urban real estate outside or alongside an established city centre.
Starlake is following its own path. Rather than becoming a purely financial district, it is planned to combine Vietnam’s central government institutions with international commerce, diplomatic activity and residential living. As these functions take shape, West of Westlake has the potential to develop into one of Hanoi’s most prestigious addresses, where modern workplaces, high-end shopping, international hospitality and residential communities come together.
Starlake The Prime K8CT1 sits along Vo Chi Cong Street, providing convenient connections between West Lake, central Hanoi, western business districts and Noi Bai International Airport.
The project benefits from the surrounding road network, including:
Ring Road 2: Directly connected through the Vo Chi Cong corridor, providing access towards Nhat Tan Bridge and the airport.
Ring Road 2.5: An additional urban corridor connecting districts across Hanoi.
Ring Road 3: A major route linking western Hanoi, My Dinh and surrounding areas.
Beyond transportation, the project’s location near West Lake gives residents access to one of Hanoi’s most established international residential communities. Tay Ho offers a broad selection of restaurants, cafés, schools, leisure activities and daily services.
Starlake The Prime K8CT1 comprises four residential towers – K8A, K8B, K8C and K8D – arranged within a landscaped compound. Each tower offers different apartment positions, layouts and outlooks. Depending on the unit, residents may enjoy views of the landscaped grounds, the surrounding city or West Lake.
47 – 49m2
One-bedroom apartments offer approximately 47–49 m² of usable space, making them suitable for individuals, couples or professionals who prefer a manageable home in a premium development.
84 – 85m2
These residences provide two separate bedrooms alongside common living and dining areas, making them suitable for couples, small families or residents who need an additional workspace.
107 – 114m2
Several layouts are available, these apartments may appeal to families, including international households seeking comfortable homes in the Starlake and West Lake area.
144m2
4 bedroom apartments offer 144 m² of usable space and the layouts accommodate larger families or residents who wish to allocate rooms for guests, children or home offices.
221 – 222m2
Penthouses offer approximately 221–222 m² of usable space, with expansive living areas and upper-floor positions. These residences are intended for buyers seeking larger homes, additional privacy and potentially wider views of the surrounding urban landscape.

As Starlake develops into Hanoi's new administrative and business centre, the growing presence of government institutions, corporate headquarters and diplomatic facilities is expected to strengthen its long-term appeal.
With luxury hotels, Grade A offices, premium shopping destinations and high-end residences, West of Westlake has the potential to become one of Hanoi's most desirable and valuable neighbourhoods.
The expansion of Starlake's business and diplomatic community, combined with its proximity to West Lake and international schools, could drive rental demand from executives, expatriates and international families.
West Lake is one of Hanoi's most prestigious residential areas, home to affluent Vietnamese families, business owners, diplomats and expatriates. This established community reinforces the area's appeal for luxury living and supports demand for high-end residential properties.
With limited land available for new residential developments around West Lake, the supply of newly built luxury apartments remains relatively constrained. This scarcity could support long-term demand and value retention for well-located properties in Starlake.
Basement construction has been completed, and work on the superstructure is now underway.
