Unlocking the Allure of The Global City: 6 Golden Factors for Long-Term Growth Potential

A New Central Hub: The Heart of Thu Duc City

The Global City is strategically located in the heart of Thu Duc City, which has been designated as a key growth pole, a new economic, high-tech, financial, and service center for Ho Chi Minh City in particular and the entire Southern economic region in general. With a budget of approximately 70% of the city’s total budget of VND 350,000 billion, focusing on over 200 key traffic projects in the area, the urban landscape is changing spectacularly every day, while also boosting economic and cultural activities.

Spanning 117.4 hectares, The Global City boasts advantages in both scale and location. Its diamond position sits amidst vital transportation arteries. The front of this urban area adjoins important roads, forming a multi-dimensional and seamless connectivity network.

Do Xuan Hop Street: A bustling urban axis connecting existing residential areas. As planned, in 2025, this road will be widened to 30 meters with 6 lanes, becoming one of the main axes of the East, enhancing traffic flow and commercial value.

Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway: Currently under completion and considered a new strategic gateway, this route directly connects The Global City to the key Southern economic region and, especially, Long Thanh International Airport, unlocking immense economic and tourism potential.

Lien Phuong Street: Dubbed the “backbone” of the East, this road connects upscale residential areas such as Thao Dien and An Phu to The Global City and its surroundings. The project’s cross-section road has been completed with 6 standard lanes, and the entire route is expected to be opened in 2025, providing a significant boost to trade and mobility.

Vo Nguyen Giap Boulevard ( Hanoi Highway) and Metro Line No. 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien): The eastern gateway facilitates travel for people from the Southeast provinces to the inner city while creating a dynamic socio-economic development corridor along the route.

As observed on the map, traveling from key areas to The Global City is convenient and fast: just 10 minutes from Thu Thiem, 15 minutes from District 1, and about 30 minutes from Tan Son Nhat or Long Thanh International Airport. Looking further into the regional planning vision, when Binh Duong and Ba Ria – Vung Tau provinces merge with Ho Chi Minh City to form a future megacity, Thu Duc City and the East will become the new central nucleus, with The Global City at its heart. The dual advantage of current connectivity and future strategic positioning firmly guarantees the real estate potential for growth in this area.

Riding the Infrastructure Wave in a New Development Cycle

The development of an area depends not only on its location but also on its planning vision and future investments. With a massive budget being injected, the East of Ho Chi Minh City is buzzing with numerous billion-dollar infrastructure projects accelerating their progress. In addition to the four strategic transportation axes mentioned above, other projects are also shaping the new spatial landscape around The Global City.

A typical example is the An Phu traffic hub, with a total investment of over VND 3,400 billion, considered one of the most critical infrastructure projects at the gateway to Cat Lai Port and the city’s east. This hub is expected to comprehensively address traffic congestion, creating seamless connectivity between the routes, directly increasing the connectivity value for The Global City.

Additionally, Long Thanh International Airport is being expedited for phase 1 operation in 2026. With a design capacity of up to 100 million passengers per year, it will be one of the region’s largest aviation hubs. The 30-minute travel time from the airport to The Global City is ideal for domestic and international experts and senior personnel living and working in financial, commercial, and production centers in the East. Being within easy reach is a valuable competitive advantage, attracting international investment and expatriate communities.

Industry experts believe that this is the “golden time” for investors due to the synchronicity of these projects, which will provide a significant boost, creating a positive spillover effect and significantly increasing the value of real estate along the routes or at the “infrastructure intersections.” According to Savills Vietnam, real estate projects located near new transportation axes and areas with well-invested infrastructure will witness average price increases ranging from 15% to 25% over the next 3 to 5 years. Therefore, the phase when these projects are taking shape is the golden time for investors to ride the infrastructure wave and seize the opportunity for exceptional value appreciation.

Master-planned “City for People” Standard

Unlike other urban areas, The Global City is a master-planned urban model with a long-term vision, based on the “for people” philosophy. Here, people are at the center of all connections. Under the talented hands of Foster + Partners, this philosophy is vividly reflected in the intelligent planning with a low construction density of 25-35%, depending on the area, maximizing public spaces and natural landscapes.

One of the special highlights is the application of the “15-minute city” principle, ensuring that essential amenities, from commercial, entertainment, culinary to international standard education and healthcare, are within walking distance. This not only provides superior convenience but also encourages an active lifestyle and enhances community interaction. Sustainability and biophilic living are strongly emphasized with 450,000 sq.m of green space and a 2km long canal winding through the urban area. The living environment is perfectly balanced, infused with natural light and air, and eco-friendly materials are used, complying with stringent international standards.

In addition to global values, The Global City also skillfully preserves Vietnamese cultural identity in every architectural detail. With the creative consultation of domestic artists, every perspective here is a fusion of aesthetic architecture and local cultural imprint. This unique blend, combined with vibrant cultural and artistic events, transforms The Global City into a vibrant center where the values of life are celebrated, and a new urban standard is defined.

International Standard Amenities Elevate Quality of Life

In addition to the overall values of location and planning, the quality of life within The Global City is assured through meticulous and classy experiences. The amenity system here is designed in layers, comprehensively fulfilling private and communal needs, shaping an international and modern lifestyle.

A typical example is the recently launched luxury high-rise apartment complex, Lumière Midtown, where residents enjoy three layers of exclusive amenities, true to the “all-in-one” style. From the internal amenities, including an infinity pool, a rooftop Zen garden, a modern gym and yoga studio, and a children’s playground, offering residents a true resort-style experience at home; to the commercial services at the podium level, and the entire amenity system of The Global City, such as the Southeast Asia-leading musical water canal, the Love Bay Park, or the 123,000 sq.m commercial center right across, promising to become one of the largest shopping and entertainment destinations in Ho Chi Minh City.

All the multi-layered amenities at The Global City provide community-connecting experiences within the entire urban area. Residents can immerse themselves in vibrant festivals, stroll across architecturally unique bridges spanning the canal, or enjoy the bustling atmosphere at the SOHO commercial townhouses, and engage in sports and recreational activities at the City Park complex. All these elements come together to create a colorful urban tapestry, subtly fulfilling the needs for living, working, studying, and entertaining with sophistication and class.

Solid Legal Grounds, Backed by Masterise Homes

Behind the meticulousness of The Global City is the creation of Masterise Homes, an international-standard upscale real estate developer with a diverse portfolio of premium and branded projects. In a volatile market, the reputation of the “patron” and the ability to ensure legal transparency have become crucial factors in safeguarding asset value.

Masterise Homes’ commitment to legal compliance is realized through specific and consistent actions in delivering pink books as promised. Specifically, for The Global City, in just the last six months, Masterise Homes has handed over pink books to SOHO townhouse owners in two consecutive phases, with quick and timely procedures. The pink book delivery not only demonstrates the developer’s solid legal capabilities but also serves as a growth catalyst for The Global City.

Diverse Supply with the Spotlight on Lumière Midtown and Other Promising Zones in the Future

With the vision to become a vibrant new center, The Global City is expected to attract approximately 150,000 people to live, work, and entertain daily. This iconic urban area also offers a diverse product portfolio, catering to various investment preferences and residential needs.

In this vibrant urban landscape, the latest high-rise project, Lumière Midtown, introduces over 800 luxury apartments, ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms to limited special units such as Duplexes spanning 136 to 200 sq.m, Penthouses from 161 to 225 sq.m, and Penthouse Duplexes from 239 to 325 sq.m. All units are architectural masterpieces, optimizing space, natural light, and the priceless panoramic view. The combination of a classy living environment and a prime location in a true new center has made Lumière Midtown irresistibly appealing to elites and savvy investors.

A prestigious low-rise subdivision in The Global City, SOLA, is also attracting significant investor interest. SOLA boasts a rare and prime location within The Global City, where nature seamlessly blends with state-of-the-art amenities. With a limited number of units and a design that emphasizes the privacy and individuality of the homeowners, SOLA introduces a new living standard: exclusivity without isolation. Thanks to the “city for people” philosophy, where all living, working, and relaxing needs are fulfilled within a 15-minute radius, SOLA will soon be unveiled, setting a new standard for those who cherish a private and unique lifestyle, where all the sublime facets of life converge.

The new central hub, The Global City, is in its “golden beginning” phase, possessing all the critical elements for clear and robust growth in the future. With an unbeatable strategic location, a transportation infrastructure system nearing completion, a transparent and solid legal foundation, and the accompaniment of Masterise Homes, The Global City is the next investment destination for astute investors with a long-term vision.
