The Alluring Grand Marina Saigon: 5 Reasons Why the Ultra-Wealthy are Flocking to this Investment Haven

At the Heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s Center

Grand Marina, Saigon is a prestigious real estate complex featuring Marriott & JW Marriott brands, strategically located in the Saigon Ward, the very heart of the city’s central urban area. This ward is home to some of the most valuable landmarks in Ho Chi Minh City.

Grand Marina, Saigon boasts a prime location at the gateway connecting the existing administrative and financial center with the new urban area of Thu Thiem. Residents of Grand Marina, Saigon are just minutes away from iconic landmarks such as the Opera House, Ben Thanh Market, and Bitexco, as well as top banks, schools, and hospitals.

Not only is Grand Marina, Saigon exceptional due to its location, but it is also trusted and chosen by Marriott International for operations, testifying to the international reputation of Masterise Homes. This is also one of the very few high-rise residential projects in the city’s core center that offers permanent ownership, a unique factor that enhances the exclusive value and sustainable growth potential of the luxury apartments within.

Optimal Transportation Connectivity with TOD Model

Around the world, the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) model has become the standard for urban planning in megacities such as Tokyo and Singapore, where real estate directly connected to metro networks is among the most valuable and sought-after assets.

Grand Marina, Saigon is one of the few projects in Ho Chi Minh City that benefits from the TOD model, with direct access to the Ba Son Metro Station. Remarkably, 3 out of 4 entrances and exits of this station are located within the project premises, offering residents a global urban lifestyle: just steps from their apartments to the metro station.

This advantage also creates a leverage effect on the property values in the area. According to CBRE Vietnam, projects within a 500-meter radius of Metro Line 1 have experienced average price increases of 20-25%, with outstanding rental occupancy rates. As the metro network expands, Ba Son Station will become a multi-line interchange, further enhancing the area’s value and the luxury apartments of Marriott & JW Marriott at Grand Marina, Saigon.

A Riverside Icon in Ho Chi Minh City

Globally, riverside real estate is always among the most valuable assets, carrying feng shui significance and symbolizing prosperity. In the context of increasing urbanization, living spaces by the river or in the city’s core, often referred to as the “green lung,” are becoming scarce and highly sought-after. According to Knight Frank (2022), water-oriented global real estate is typically 40% more expensive than regular properties in the same segment and is among the most liquid assets.

Grand Marina, Saigon boasts a prime riverfront location in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. The Marriott & JW Marriott apartment towers are strategically planned to optimize river and city skyline views, offering a harmonious blend of nature and modern urban life. In terms of feng shui, expert Michael Chiang evaluates the project’s location as “ming tang shui,” a prosperous site that gathers positive energy and brings good fortune and success to its owners.

Adjacent to Saigon Zoo, a Rare Green Axis in the City Center

One of the unique features of Grand Marina, Saigon is its proximity to the Saigon Zoo, one of the top 10 oldest zoos in the world, spanning over 16 hectares of lush greenery. Similar to Central Park in New York, real estate adjacent to large parks tends to retain its value and is highly sought-after by the ultra-wealthy. From the luxury apartments at Grand Marina, Saigon, residents can enjoy unobstructed views of this “million-dollar green landscape” right in the middle of the city. Besides enhancing the value of the property, this factor also brings practical benefits to physical and mental health in a context where green spaces are increasingly scarce in urban areas.

National Historical Heritage Element

The heritage value is also a testament to the sustainability and uniqueness of Grand Marina, Saigon. Located on the land of Ba Son, a national historical relic and an integral part of Ho Chi Minh City’s 230-year development journey, the project embodies the deep cultural and historical essence of the city, becoming a “world-class destination rooted in heritage.”

The heritage values are skillfully preserved in every detail of Grand Marina, Saigon: from the Lotus Park landscape reminiscent of the old dock to the interior design inspired by traditional bamboo weaving, recreating the old-world charm within a contemporary living space.

Worldwide, studies have shown that projects located in areas with historical significance often experience significant price increases. For instance, according to the UK’s Office for National Statistics, the City of London, a district steeped in historical value, recorded an impressive 89% increase in house prices between 2013 and 2023, one of the fastest-growing rates in London.

With these five golden factors, many customers have chosen the luxury apartments of Marriott and JW Marriott at Grand Marina, Saigon as a sustainable wealth accumulation channel. Especially for investors specializing in unique real estate collections, projects like Grand Marina, Saigon are always on the radar of the global elite.
