In the long-term development strategy, the city plans 11 metro lines, including lines 6 and 10 passing through the Cat Lai urban area, providing direct connections to Tan Son Nhat Airport, Thu Thiem, District 7, and the eastern satellite areas.
Thu Duc City’s infrastructure breakthrough – Cat Lai becomes a strategic connector
Along with projects such as the Cat Lai Bridge, Nhon Trach Bridge, Ring Road 3, My Thuy Intersection phases 2 & 3, and the expanded Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Highway, the entire East region is witnessing a booming investment wave. Cat Lai has emerged as one of the most sought-after destinations. The Cat Lai urban area has shifted from being a satellite city of Ho Chi Minh City to a major transport hub for regional connectivity post-merger.

Located in the heart of this vibrant development area, CitiGrand, a premium apartment project developed by Kien A, is attracting special market attention. With a location just 5km from Thu Thiem and adjacent to the future metro line, CitiGrand offers convenient connections to the city center, the airport, and the high-tech park. It also sits amidst a rapidly developing trade and service hub for the port and logistics industries. This dual advantage ensures long-term exploitation value and strong potential for medium and long-term price appreciation.
Beyond its strategic location, CitiGrand also stands out for its distinctive living environment. The project is part of a well-planned 152-hectare urban area, boasting a green space density of up to 7m²/person (nine times that of the inner city), a 4-hectare central park (equivalent to 3/4 of Gia Dinh Park), and a rare system of six inter-floor green cores. Modern architecture with full-height glass walls fills each apartment with natural light and offers valuable views of the Saigon River or the city’s prosperity symbol, Landmark 81.
Catering to the needs of high-rise living standards, CitiGrand integrates a range of “sky-high” amenities such as an infinity pool, sky gym, rooftop BBQ area, and a luxurious lobby, providing a private, modern, and resort-style living experience.
Project Perspective
CitiGrand: Riding the Infrastructure Wave with Attractive Pricing
Another standout feature is the competitive pricing: starting from only VND 2.9 billion for a 2-bedroom apartment, considered a “price basin” in Thu Duc City. While neighboring areas like Thu Thiem and An Phu have surpassed VND 100 million per m², CitiGrand maintains a price range starting from just VND 55 million per m² while offering equivalent infrastructure potential.
Explaining the project’s appeal, a representative of Houze, the business development unit of CitiGrand, shared: “In addition to location, design, and amenities, this sales policy is considered a breakthrough, giving customers peace of mind in their purchase decision.” Accordingly, with just a 10% down payment (~VND 290 million), customers can sign a sales contract. The bank offers a 70% loan with a 0% interest rate until the handover and a 24-month grace period for principal repayment.
Project Perspective
Additionally, buyers receive a direct discount of VND 50-100 million on the selling price. The project is expected to be handed over in Q4 2026, meeting both residential and rental investment demands.
Historical evidence supports this: real estate prices along metro line 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien) increased by 40-50% within just 1-2 years, and many investors realized profits with margins of up to 70-150% within 5-8 years. With Thu Duc City’s infrastructure continuing to receive significant investment, CitiGrand, with its central location, superior transportation links, solid legal status, and quality living environment, is poised to become the new investment hotspot in the East region.
