As the only province connecting Ho Chi Minh City with the Mekong Delta and the Southeast region, with a seaport at the Soai Rap river gate, just 15 km from the East Sea, Long An plays a strategic role in the inter-regional economic corridor.
In the development trajectory of Long An, Ben Luc, with its “bridge” position between the province and neighboring areas, is oriented to become a satellite city, a gateway to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta region. It aims to achieve the status of a third-tier city by 2030 and a second-tier city by 2045.
Parallel to the socio-economic development strategy is the maturation of the real estate market. The influx of numerous large real estate enterprises in the past years is a positive sign of an upcoming vigorous growth cycle in Long An’s real estate market.
Prime Location, Leading the Development
In reality, the potential of this area has been recognized and tapped for decades by visionary urban pioneers. Among them, Nam Long stands out as a dedicated and passionate developer, leaving its mark with the integrated Waterpoint township spanning 355 hectares.
Strategically located on the front line of the arterial Provincial Road 830 and embraced by 5.8 km of the Vam Co Dong river, Waterpoint possesses the prerequisite conditions for development: a strategic location in terms of road, waterway, and railway connectivity.
The township is the intersection of three major economic centers: Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta, and the Southeast region; benefiting from key transportation projects, including Ring Roads 3 and 4, the Ho Chi Minh City-Trung Luong Expressway, the Ben Luc-Long Thanh Expressway, the inter-provincial National Highway 50B, the expanded National Highway 1, etc. These roads directly connect Long An to major seaports like Cat Lai and Cai Mep- Thi Vai, and international airports such as Tan Son Nhat and the future Long Thanh.
With the trend of shifting to satellite cities in search of a better living environment, Waterpoint increasingly asserts its position, just over 30 minutes away from the center of Ho Chi Minh City. The inter-regional bus system has also been put into operation by the investor, enhancing connectivity between the township and important locations in Ho Chi Minh City conveniently and swiftly.
Quality Living Spaces at Waterpoint
Additionally, potential locations like Waterpoint cater to the tastes of investors seeking long-term asset accumulation. According to statistics, real estate in areas with infrastructure development and new township planning tends to appreciate by an average of 20-30% annually. This is also why Waterpoint consistently receives positive reviews for its profit margin and value appreciation over time.
Essential Amenities, Community Connection
Designed as an integrated township, the connective value of Waterpoint also includes quick and easy access to a comprehensive range of amenities and services.
The township boasts 25 hectares allocated for education, 20 hectares for commercial and entertainment facilities, and 8 hectares for outdoor sports amenities, meeting five essential pillars: Live – Study – Work – Shop – Entertain. Notable amenities, such as a 3-hectare sports and events complex, an 8.6-hectare freshwater port, 8 km of cycling paths, 13 km of jogging tracks, a marina, and riverside community clubs, are already in place.
Integrating Amenities and Services, Waterpoint Establishes a Lifestyle for the Community
From Q3/2024, Waterpoint will continue to welcome large-scale amenities, completing the visage of an integrated township, including: EMASI Plus, a bilingual international boarding school offering primary to high school education; Saigon Waterpoint Polyclinic, equipped with modern medical facilities and an experienced team of doctors and nurses; and San Ha FoodStore Plus, an upgraded version of the San Ha Foodstore chain, offering an enhanced shopping experience with a spacious and improved environment and product quality.
Nam Long is not just about building houses or selling real estate; it’s about creating a true sense of community, deeply rooted in multi-dimensional connectivity, be it locational or the invaluable bonds of kinship and neighborhood.
Proposed Planning for Adding 2 New Cities in Ho Chi Minh City
