Lumi Hanoi

Handover from September 2026. CapitaLand's largest Hanoi development: about 4,000 apartments across nine towers in Tay Mo.

Site update · August 2026

Lumi Hanoi in August 2026

A month before the first Signature towers hand over, the towers themselves are finished outside and the air-conditioning units are already fitted to the facade. At ground level the work is still visible: landscaping is going in with the trees still staked, scaffolding is up around the lobby, and a material hoist is running up the tower face.

The podium is still a bare frame this close to handover, so expect work to continue around you after you take the keys. That is normal here, and it is worth knowing before you promise a tenant a move-in date. The full site update is in Lumi Hanoi Handover Progress: Where the Site Stands.

The Building

About Lumi Hanoi

Lumi Hanoi is CapitaLand Development's largest residential project in the city: about 4,000 apartments across nine towers of 29 to 35 floors, built in phases on 5.6 hectares in Tay Mo – Dai Mo, Nam Tu Liem. CapitaLand put the gross development value at around S$1 billion when it introduced the project, and the masterplan is by the French architect Jean-François Milou of Studio Milou.

The apartments are sold in three lines — Lumi Signature, Lumi Prestige and Lumi Elite — and the line you own decides two things that cost you money. It sets your handover date: Signature is the first phase to complete, Elite the last. It also sets what arrives in the apartment. A Signature unit is handed over with a basic finish, while an Elite unit already has an oven and a dishwasher, so the two need very different budgets before either can be let.

The location is a planned area with parks, schools, malls and medical centers, well outside the old center. For a tenant deciding between here and an older building closer in, that trade — newer stock and amenities against a longer commute — is the whole conversation, and it decides who your tenant turns out to be.

Buying here as a foreigner means a 50-year term rather than outright ownership, and no single building may be more than 30% foreign-owned. Those two limits are national law, not CapitaLand policy, and they matter more when you come to sell or renew than on the day you sign — see the foreign ownership rules.

Building information compiled from public developer and market sources. CapitaLand does not publish a handover month on its own project site. September 2026 is the date we are working to for the first Signature towers, and towers inside the phase do not all hand over on the same day. We confirm the current date for your tower before you plan anything around it. CapitaLand does not publish the phase breakdown on its own project site, so the tower counts and finish levels above come from agents selling in the project. The five towers of Signature, two of Prestige and two of Elite do add up to the nine CapitaLand states for the project. Check your own contract for what your unit includes.

Pre-Handover Inspection

What to sort out when you take the keys.

Handover is the one moment where a few hours of attention saves months of argument. If you are not in Hanoi for it, these are the things that still need doing — and the order they need doing in. We can act on your behalf for any of them.

Before you sign the acceptance

  • ✓Inspect the unit against the contract — finishes, appliances, glazing, aircon, water pressure
  • ✓Photograph and list every defect, then get the list acknowledged in writing before signing
  • ✓Check meters are registered and readings recorded on the day
  • ✓Confirm what the developer is handing over and what is yours to add
  • ✓Confirm the service charge, parking fee and when they start being billed

In the first weeks after

  • ✓Chase the defect list to closure — this is where remote owners lose most
  • ✓Register electricity, water and internet, and set up how they get paid while you are abroad
  • ✓Track your ownership certificate timeline — see Legal & Financial for how the term is counted
  • ✓Decide furnished or unfurnished before marketing, not after
  • ✓Get the unit photographed and listed while the building is still filling up
From Keys To Rent

Three steps between handover and rent landing in your account.

You can take any one of these on its own. Most owners taking handover from overseas ask for all three, in this order.

Furnish it to a rentable standard

Packages start at $4,000 for a one-bedroom, $5,000 for two and $6,000 for three. What a unit actually needs depends on what the developer already fitted. Details on Interior & Furnishing.

Find the tenant

We market to the expat channel as well as the domestic one, screen the tenant, and handle the lease in English and Vietnamese. Our fee is one month of rent, payable only when a tenant signs — nothing if we do not let it. See Tenant Sourcing.

Hand the running of it to us

Rent collection, bills, repairs, inspections and a clear English report every month. Management is 4% of annual rent. See Property Management.

Our Work Elsewhere

What we hand back to an owner.

We do not manage apartments in this building yet. The photographs below are units we furnished and now run in other Hanoi buildings — shown so you can judge the standard of work, not to suggest we are already here.

Notes for owners at Lumi Hanoi

Your contract states the handover standard for your unit. Whether the apartment arrives bare, part-finished or fully fitted decides whether furnishing costs four figures or five. Send us the contract and we will quote against what is actually being handed to you.

No apartment here has been let yet, so there is no agreed rent in this building to quote from. What we can tell you is what the western side of Hanoi rents for, because we manage apartments in The Matrix One, My Dinh Pearl, Vinhomes Skylake, Westpoint and Sky Park — the same tenant channel your unit will compete in.

Across those five buildings, asking rents as of July 2026 run $340–800 for one bedroom, $700–1,300 for two and $1,200–2,000 for three. They cover buildings of different ages and finish levels, so read them as a corridor rather than as a quote for your unit.

Which band you land in matters more here than the project name does. CapitaLand publishes layouts from a 42 m² one-bedroom up to a 135 m² four-bedroom, and those two are not the same lettings business; an average across them describes neither. The duplexes and penthouses of 115 to 410 m² sit outside the bands altogether and price off the specific apartment: its floor, its outlook, how the layout actually lives.

Your phase decides who you compete against. Lumi Signature completes first, so whoever lets there is offering the only new stock in the development. Later phases reach the market after those first tenants have signed multi-year leases, which means newer competition but less of it arriving at once. Neither position is bad, and both are knowable now rather than at handover.

The building’s service charge and parking start at handover whether the apartment is let or empty (building service and utility charges), and the full annual stack is in what it really costs to own and rent out a Hanoi apartment.

Before You Ask

Questions owners ask at handover.

Handover questions
Can you attend the handover if I cannot fly in?

Yes. We inspect the unit against your contract, produce the defect list with photographs, and send it to you before anything is signed. You stay the decision-maker — we do the standing around.

My unit comes with built-in furniture already. Do I still need furnishing?

Usually less than you would think, and that is worth knowing before you spend. Where the developer has already fitted floors, kitchen and bathrooms, the gap to a rentable unit is loose furniture, storage, lighting and soft furnishings rather than a full fit-out. We quote on what is actually missing.

How soon should I start looking for a tenant?

Before handover, not after. In a building where several hundred units hand over in the same months, the first well-presented apartments get seen first. See Tenant Sourcing.

Do you already manage apartments in this building?

Not yet — and we will not pretend otherwise. We manage more than 360 apartments across 13 other Hanoi buildings, several of them on the same western side of the city, so the tenant channel, the contractors and the rent expectations carry over. The buildings page shows exactly where we are.
