Prime Coordinates by the Heritage Bay
In 2024, Dubai Harbour, a “city by the bay,” officially opened in the heart of Dubai, poised to become a symbol of modern Middle East. With the largest marina in the region, waterfront promenades, and sun-kissed buildings, Dubai Harbour has ignited an unprecedented real estate boom.
According to GCP Properties, apartment values in Dubai Harbour surged by 105% for off-plan units from January 2021 to June 2025. Completed apartments saw a 50% increase compared to early 2021 prices.

Dubai Harbour’s success highlights the allure of real estate near bustling ports. As the saying goes, “To understand a city’s growth, visit its central port.” This explains why properties near vibrant marinas and ports have become iconic.
Consider Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, a testament to the city’s grandeur, or Darling Harbour in Sydney, Australia, renowned for its day-and-night entertainment.
Miami’s marina is another global hotspot. Among the elite, it’s said that a trip to Florida without strolling Miami’s marina, indulging in luxury shopping, or savoring a coffee amidst its opulence is a missed opportunity.
In Vietnam, projects like Sun Elite City near Bai Chay and Halong Bay’s international passenger port are increasingly attractive. Located steps from Halong Bay, the project captures international tourist flows and offers access to Northern Vietnam’s top attractions: Sun World Ha Long and Bai Chay Beach.

Positioned along the Ky Quan coastal road, Sun Elite City connects seamlessly to the Halong-Hai Phong-Hanoi highway and Van Don International Airport. This “golden location” makes it more than a residence—it’s a gateway for domestic and international visitors, with Halong expected to host 8.2 million tourists in 2025, double 2019 figures.
Riding the Investment Wave
Savills Global Living Report 2025 highlights a surge in “live where you vacation” trends in coastal cities like Miami, Sydney, Dubai, and Nice. Serviced apartments, shophouses, and boutique hotels are now global investment stars, offering sustainable returns.

Sun Centro Town, three 30-story towers in Sun Elite City’s heart, launched in August with high absorption rates, especially for affordable inner-view units. Premium bay-view apartments are in constant demand.
Sun Centro Town’s prime location maximizes rental and business potential. Integrated amenities—entertainment parks, sea plazas, shopping, event spaces, and public beaches—elevate living standards and asset value, ideal for hospitality ventures.
Central Bai Chay’s bayfront land is nearly exhausted. Sun Elite City is among the last projects in this prime area, blending seaside access with infrastructure development.

Backed by Sun Group, a pioneer in Halong’s tourism for over a decade (Sun World Ha Long, Bai Chay Beach, Vui-fest), the project offers a complete ecosystem—tourism, entertainment, and luxury living. Residents and investors benefit from its expansive network, from visitors to infrastructure.
“When choosing real estate, I focus on three Ds,” says La Kim My Duyen, IQI Vietnam’s Deputy CEO. “Location, demand, and developer. Sun Elite City excels in all, ensuring both lifestyle and investment value.”
In port-centric urban strategies, projects like Sun Elite City redefine cityscapes and destinations, blending prime locations with sustainable growth.
