Imperia Garden apartments: MIK Group's debut project in Thanh Xuân
Imperia Garden is a residential complex on Nguyễn Tuân and Nguyễn Huy Tưởng streets in Hà Đình ward, Thanh Xuân district, roughly ten minutes by car from Hoàn Kiếm and the Old Quarter. It was developed by MIK Group — then M.I.K Corporation, founded in 2014 — as the company's first residential project in Hanoi, and was completed in 2017. The complex sits within a roughly 22-hectare masterplan and comprises four high-rise towers (Towers A to D, ranging from 27 to 35 storeys over two basement parking levels) plus a cluster of low-rise villas, for a total of 1,652 apartments and 42 villas. Apartments run from two-bedroom units of roughly 71 m² to three-bedroom layouts of around 100–129 m², arranged around a French-inspired landscaped garden, swimming pool, gym and children's play areas. The project was later recognised in the “Most Worth Living” category of Vietnam's National Real Estate Awards.
MIK Group has since built on the Imperia name with larger, more amenity-dense projects such as Imperia Smart City; Imperia Garden remains the group's original, smaller-scale Hanoi address, and today trades almost entirely on the resale market rather than through primary sales. Because the building has been occupied for close to a decade, its Pink Book (land-use right certificate) issuance and its share of the building's 30% foreign-ownership quota are already established — which cuts both ways for a foreign buyer: less uncertainty about how the building is actually run day to day, but a real need to verify the developer, the title and the remaining quota before signing, since older buildings can already sit close to their ceiling. The current status of Hanoi's foreign-ownership quota is worth checking building by building rather than assumed from headline rules.
Thanh Xuân is one of Hanoi's established inner-city districts — a mixed quarter of offices, schools, hospitals and both older and newer apartment stock, sitting between the Old Quarter and the newer developments further west and south. It suits a different profile of buyer than the lakeside addresses of Tây Hồ or the master-planned townships further out: Imperia Garden buyers tend to prioritise a settled, functioning building with day-to-day services already running and a lower entry price than West Lake or Ba Đình, over the newest amenities or a lake view.
For a foreign buyer, the applicable ownership rules are the same as anywhere else in Hanoi: apartments can be held under a renewable 50-year certificate, capped at 30% of the units in any one building, under Vietnam's Housing Law 2023. Because Imperia Garden predates that law, its quota and ownership records were originally set under the previous framework and have since carried over — another reason to confirm the building's current foreign-ownership headroom directly rather than assume it from the general rule.
Day to day, the appeal of Imperia Garden is closer to a settled neighbourhood than a resort-style compound: the seventh-floor podium garden and ground-level landscaping give the towers a green, low-traffic feel that residents compare favourably to denser blocks nearer the centre, and the complex includes on-site kindergarten facilities alongside its swimming pool, gym and children's play areas. Nguyễn Trãi Road and the Belt 3 ring road are both close by, which makes the airport, the southern industrial parks and the wider Thanh Xuân–Cầu Giấy corridor easy to reach by car, though — as with most of inner Hanoi — peak-hour traffic on Nguyễn Trãi should be budgeted into any commute estimate rather than assumed away. Hospitals, private clinics and everyday retail are all within a short drive, which is part of why the building continues to attract long-stay tenants rather than short-term lets.

Imperia Garden and the Thanh Xuân area
✓ Who Imperia Garden suits
- ✓Expats settling in Thanh Xuân for schools, hospitals and an established, mixed local-expat community rather than a lakeside or CBD address
- ✓Buyers who want a completed, occupied building with a multi-year service track record rather than an off-plan launch
- ✓Investors targeting stable long-term rental demand from local professionals and small households
- ✓Resale-focused buyers comfortable independently verifying the building's remaining foreign quota before committing
- ⚠Buyers set on a lakeside or Old Quarter address — Thanh Xuân is inland and residential, not a tourist or expat-enclave district
- ⚠Off-plan investors seeking early-stage capital appreciation — Imperia Garden has been fully delivered since 2017
- ⚠Buyers who want brand-new fittings and the latest amenity specification — finishes reflect a 2017 handover
- ⚠Anyone unwilling to independently confirm the building's current foreign-ownership quota status before reserving a unit

Imperia Garden: frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy an apartment at Imperia Garden?
Yes. Foreign buyers can hold apartments at Imperia Garden under a renewable 50-year certificate, provided the building's 30% foreign-ownership quota still has room — worth confirming directly, since this is a fully sold, decade-old building rather than a fresh launch.
Is Imperia Garden still selling directly from the developer?
No — Imperia Garden was completed and handed over in 2017, so almost all current transactions are resales between private owners rather than primary sales from MIK Group. The buying process for a resale unit follows the same broad stages as a new-build purchase, with title verification taking on more weight.
What rental yield can I expect at Imperia Garden?
Actual yields depend on unit type, floor and current asking price, and move with the market — see our rental yield guide for methodology and live Hanoi medians, and use the listings above for units currently on the market at Imperia Garden's price point.
Who manages the building and sets the service charge?
Day-to-day management is handled by a building management board, with major decisions — service-charge levels, the maintenance fund and building rules — voted on at the owners' general assembly. Ask the seller or management board for the current fee schedule before you commit, or see our property management partners if you'd rather outsource oversight of the unit.
What does it cost to buy a resale unit here, beyond the purchase price?
Budget for the 0.5% registration fee and notary costs set by the prevailing schedule, and — if you plan to let the unit — 5% VAT plus 5% personal income tax on the rent you collect. The seller, not the buyer, is liable for the 2% transfer tax. See the full breakdown above.
Is Thanh Xuân a good fit for families with children?
Thanh Xuân is a well-established, service-rich district with local and international schooling options, hospitals and everyday amenities, though it isn't home to the large international-school campuses clustered in Tây Hồ or the newer townships further out — a family choosing Imperia Garden is typically prioritising a central, settled address over a specific school catchment.
How do older, fully-handed-over buildings like Imperia Garden compare with off-plan launches?
You trade the discounted entry pricing and choice of unit that off-plan buyers get for something an off-plan launch cannot offer: a visible, multi-year record of how the building is actually managed, how service charges have moved, and how well common areas have aged. For a buyer prioritising certainty over upside, that track record is often worth more than a lower headline price.
