West of Westlake – The Prominent CBD

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.

A Strategic Location Near West Lake

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.

  • Metro Line 2: An important line because of its planned connection towards Noi Bai International Airport.

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.
