The Heart of the New Center: The Connector Hub of the East
The Global City is strategically located in Thu Duc City, positioned as the strategic growth pole, new knowledge economy, high-tech, financial and service center of 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 more than 200 key traffic projects in the area, the urban landscape is changing spectacularly every day, while also strongly promoting economic and cultural activities.
Planned on a vast land area of 117.4 hectares, The Global City has the advantage of both scale and rare land fund, as well as a diamond location in the middle of the arterial traffic axis. The front of this urban area adjoins important roads, creating a multi-dimensional and smooth connection 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, increasing traffic capacity and commercial value.
Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Highway: Currently under completion and considered a new strategic gateway, this road directly connects The Global City to the key economic region of the South and especially Long Thanh International Airport, opening up enormous economic and tourism potential.
Lien Phuong Street: Dubbed the “backbone” of the East, this road provides a straight connection from high-end residential areas such as Thao Dien and An Phu to The Global City and its surroundings. The cross-project road has been completed with 6 standard lanes, and the entire route is expected to be opened in 2025, creating a great boost in trade and movement.
Vo Nguyen Giap Boulevard (Ha Noi Highway) and Metro Line No. 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien): The eastern gateway, helping people from the Southeast provinces to quickly enter the inner city, while also 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 to access from Tan Son Nhat International Airport 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 become a future megacity, Thu Duc City and the East area will be the new central nucleus, with The Global City located at the “heart of the center.” The double advantage of current connectivity and future strategic position firmly guarantees the growth potential of real estate here.
Catching the Infrastructure Wave in the New Development Cycle
The development of an area depends not only on its location but also on the planning vision and investment in the future. With a huge budget being poured in, the East of Ho Chi Minh City is bustling with a series of trillion-dollar infrastructure projects that are being expedited. In addition to the four strategic traffic axes mentioned above, other projects are also shaping the new spatial landscape for the entire area surrounding 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 important infrastructure projects at the gateway to Cat Lai Port and the eastern part of the city. This node is expected to fundamentally resolve traffic congestion, creating a smooth flow between the routes, directly increasing the connectivity value of The Global City.
At the same time, 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 largest aviation hubs in the region. The travel time from the airport to The Global City is only half an hour, which is ideal for experts and senior personnel from home and abroad living and working in financial, commercial, and production centers in the East. Being within easy reach is a valuable competitive advantage, attracting international investment capital and expatriate communities.
Industry experts believe that this is the “golden time” for investors due to the synergy of these projects, which will greatly boost and create a positive spillover effect, significantly increasing the value of real estate along the routes or at the “infrastructure nodes.” According to Savills Vietnam, real estate projects located near new traffic routes and areas with well-invested infrastructure will witness an average price increase of 15% to 25% over the next 3 to 5 years. Therefore, the stage when these projects are still taking shape is the golden time for investors to catch the infrastructure wave and seize the opportunity to enhance asset value.
Planning a “City for People” Standard
Unlike other urban areas, The Global City is a city model planned comprehensively 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 expressed through smart planning with a low construction density of about 25-35% depending on the area, maximizing public space and natural landscapes.
One of the special highlights is the application of the “15-minute city” principle, ensuring that all essential amenities from commerce, entertainment, cuisine to international standard education and healthcare are within walking distance. This not only brings superior convenience but also encourages an active lifestyle and enhances community interaction. Sustainability and biophilic living styles are vividly portrayed with 450,000 m² of green space and a 2km long canal winding around the urban area. The living space is perfectly balanced, harmonizing natural light and air, combined with the use of environmentally friendly materials, complying with strict international standards.
Aiming not only for global values but also skillfully preserving Vietnamese identity in every architectural detail. Along with the creative consulting of domestic artists, every perspective here is a blend of aesthetic architecture and local cultural imprints. This unique fusion, combined with vibrant cultural and artistic events, transforms The Global City into a vibrant center where living values are honored and a new urban standard is defined.
International Standard Amenities Enhance Quality of Life
In addition to the overall values of location and planning, the quality of life in The Global City is also ensured through meticulous and classy experiences. The amenity system here is designed in layers, comprehensively meeting all needs from private to community, shaping an international and modern lifestyle.
A typical example is the recently launched luxury high-rise apartment project, Lumière Midtown, where residents enjoy three layers of exclusive amenities, true to the “all-in-one” style. From the internal amenities featuring an infinity pool of 27m, a rooftop Zen garden, a modern gym and yoga studio, and a children’s playground… providing residents with a true resort-like experience at home; to the commercial and service area at the podium level, and the entire amenity system of The Global City such as the large-scale musical water canal in Southeast Asia, the Love Bay Park, or the 123,000 m² commercial center right opposite, promising to become one of the largest shopping and entertainment paradises in Ho Chi Minh City.
All the multi-layered amenities in The Global City offer community-connecting experiences within the entire urban area. Residents can immerse themselves in vibrant festivals, stroll on architecturally unique bridges across the canal, or enjoy the bustling atmosphere at the SOHO commercial townhouse area, play and exercise at the City Park sports and entertainment complex… All these elements together create a colorful urban picture, subtly meeting the needs of living, working, studying, and entertaining.
Solid Legal Grounds, Guaranteed by Masterise Homes
Behind the meticulous and well-organized development of The Global City is the creation of Masterise Homes, an international-standard luxury real estate developer with a diverse portfolio of high-end and branded projects. In the context of a volatile market, the reputation of the “patron unit” and the ability to ensure legal transparency have become crucial factors in guaranteeing asset value.
Masterise Homes’ commitment to legal matters is realized through specific and consistent actions in the form of pink book handovers as promised. Specifically, for The Global City, in just the last 6 months, Masterise Homes has delivered pink books to SOHO townhouse owners in two consecutive phases with quick and timely procedures. The pink book handover not only demonstrates the solid legal capacity of the developer but also serves as a growth catalyst for The Global City.
Diverse Supply with the Spotlight on Lumière Midtown and Other Promising Divisions in the Future
With the planning to become a vibrant new center, The Global City is expected to attract about 150,000 people to live, work, and entertain daily. This iconic urban area also offers a diverse product portfolio, catering to all investment tastes and accommodation needs.
In the vibrant urban picture, the latest high-rise project, Lumière Midtown, offers over 800 luxury apartments, ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms to extremely limited special units such as Duplexes with areas from 136 to 200 m², Penthouses from 161 – 225 m², and Penthouse Duplexes from 239 to 325 m². All are exquisite architectural works, optimizing space, natural light, and the priceless panoramic view. The combination of a classy living space and a prime location in a true new center has created an irresistible attraction for Lumière Midtown, making it the ideal choice for the elite and savvy investors.
A prestigious low-rise division in The Global City is also receiving great attention from investors – SOLA, a compound project with three river fronts in the urban area. SOLA possesses a rare and prime location within The Global City – where pristine nature blends with the most modern amenities. With a limited number of units and a design that emphasizes the personal value and privacy of the owner, SOLA introduces a new living standard: detached but not isolated – thanks to the “city for people” philosophy, where all living, working, and relaxing needs are met within a 15-minute radius. In the near future, SOLA will officially be unveiled – as a declaration for those who cherish a private and unique lifestyle, where all the sublime aspects of life converge.
It can be said that the new center, The Global City, is in the “golden beginning” phase, and it has all the critical factors for clear and strong growth in the future. With an unbeatable strategic location, a transportation infrastructure system that is gradually being completed, a transparent and solid legal foundation, and the companionship of Masterise Homes, The Global City deserves to be the next investment destination for sensitive and farsighted investors.
