Are Vietnam's Luxury Townhomes Built Better Than Canadian Houses?

"Welcome to Starting Life Abroad! We explore global living, real estate, and the expat lifestyle." Touring the brand-new luxury townhomes here at Vinhomes Royal Island on Vu Yen Island in Hải Phòng, Vietnam! In today’s video, we are doing a deep-dive construction comparison between these elite, tropical Vietnamese builds and the standard residential housing we are used to back home in Canada and the West. From structural framing philosophies (Reinforced Concrete vs. Canadian Wood-Frame) to real estate footprint density, we test the build quality and see what it really takes to build an island city. We’ll also take a peaceful walk down the massive 3 km riverside promenade boardwalk overlooking the Hải Phòng shipping port, and get the drone high up in the air for a complete bird's-eye view of this private billionaire's playground. Let me know in the comments: Would you prefer the heavy-duty concrete build of Vietnam or the wood-frame insulation of Canada?
