The ward enjoys a favorable geographic location, adjacent to major industrial zones and situated along key transportation arteries such as National Highway 1, Nguyen Ai Quoc Street, Pham Van Thuan Street, Dong Khoi Street, and others.

Leveraging existing advantages for development

Tam Hiep ward was formed through the merger of four former Bien Hoa city wards: Tam Hiep, Tan Hiep, Tan Mai, and Binh Da, covering more than 10.8 km², with a population of over 139,400 people.

Currently, the ward hosts many large-scale commercial centers, supermarkets, and markets in the province, such as Vincom Bien Hoa, GO! Tan Hiep, Co.opmart Bien Hoa, Tan Hiep Market… along with a series of convenience stores, specialty shops, and bustling shopping streets like Pham Van Thuan, Dong Khoi, Phan Trung…

At the same time, it will implement rational planning for streets and potential development zones, establish specialized commercial streets and centralized service areas connected to urban culture and consumer demand, and accelerate digital transformation in economic development.

Hoai Thanh (resident of Tam Hiep ward) said: “I see the retail system in Tam Hiep ward expanding in scale, network, and service quality. This gives urban residents like me more shopping and consumption options.

At the same time, the ward will support investors in swiftly navigating administrative procedures, while ensuring a transparent, stable, and business-friendly investment environment.
