Apartment structure

The apartment structure at H9CT1 Starlake is planned to optimize living space, suitable for the needs of middle-class and high-end customers. Below is an in-depth analysis:

Apartment structure according to modern urban development planning

– 3-bedroom apartments dominate (61%) shows the orientation to serve mainly families with spacious living needs, in line with the trend of shifting from small apartments to more sustainable living spaces.

– Building 902 has the highest diversity with both 2PN, 3PN and 4PN, flexibly meeting the needs of many customer groups, from young people to multi-generational families. This reflects the design philosophy of “multi-function in the same complex”.

Strategic space allocation

– Buildings 901 and 903 prioritize 3-bedroom apartments, aimed at residents who want a stable and long-term living space, while limiting population density on each floor, creating ventilation.

– Building 902 has a large number of 2-bedroom apartments (105 apartments), accounting for 55% of the total number of 2-bedroom apartments in the entire project, reflecting that investors are optimizing products to reach young customers or rental investors.

– The appearance of 4-bedroom apartments (38 units) only at building 902 is an important highlight, showing that the project still ensures a limited number of high-end products exclusively for high-end customers with large area needs.

– Only 6 Penthouses, evenly distributed 2 units/building, emphasizing the scarcity and special value of this type of apartment. With the trend of high-end customers looking for private and luxurious living space, this limited quantity will create a competitive advantage in long-term value.

Apartment density on each floor – a factor that improves quality of life: Each floor has about 6-8 apartments, helping to ensure privacy, reduce pressure on common spaces and elevators, which is especially important in high-end projects.

Evaluation criteria for type A, B, C apartments according to Sen Vang Group’s criteria

Golden Lotus evaluates apartment criteria based on view factors.

In terms of location, the project is about 600m from Hoang Quoc Viet Street and about 10 minutes from West Lake.

However, due to this distance, apartments at H9-CT1 hardly have a direct view of West Lake. In addition, the arrangement of towers in the project may obstruct the view of some apartments. According toApartment criteria based on Sen Vang’s view factor, all apartments of the H9-CT1 Starlake project are type C.
