May 7, 2026 5 min read INDOCHINE Research

The Global City is Vietnam's first internationally-standard integrated city — a large-scale urban-development project systematically planned to become Ho Chi Minh City's new Downtown. It sits in the heart of An Phu in District 2 and is being developed by Masterise Homes, a leading developer bringing international standards to Vietnam's real estate market.

Designed in collaboration with world-renowned British architecture firm Foster + Partners, The Global City is not just an ideal place to live — it stands out as a new urban icon for the whole of Southeast Asia.
Thanks to modern urban planning, premium infrastructure and a strategic location, The Global City meets housing demand while at the same time opening a sustainable investment opportunity that offers long-term, stable returns.

Why choose The Global City apartments?

1. A 'center of the center' location

Sitting on a prime site fronting Do Xuan Hop Avenue and the Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway, the project falls within the master plan of the Rach Chiec National Sports Complex.
This location offers a range of advantages and high future value.

2. 100+ amenities, landscaped greenery and a premium lifestyle

The Global City apartments are wrapped in waterfront landscaping and green surroundings, delivering a comfortable and relaxed living experience.
The development also offers a wide range of resort-grade amenities so residents can enjoy an elevated standard of living.

3. An international, prosperous community

As the first internationally-standard mega-city in eastern Ho Chi Minh developed by Masterise Group, it nurtures an international community of residents who share a refined lifestyle — shaping a sophisticated, thriving residential culture.

4. The finest amenities in Southeast Asia

The Global City is putting in place top-tier Southeast Asian facilities for investors.
For example: Southeast Asia's largest music waterway, a go-kart racing track, City Park, and a 123,000 m² shopping mall — the largest in southern Vietnam — among other core facilities.

5. High-end, modern, luxurious finishes

Townhouses are handed over with a completed exterior and a structural-skeleton interior; apartments are delivered with fully fitted premium finishes. This not only ensures visual completeness but also demonstrates upper-class refinement and high practicality.

6. Outstanding investment returns

Located in a core area showing explosive growth — with large-scale infrastructure, including the National Sports Complex, rapidly coming on line — the value uplift of The Global City apartments is rated as highly certain.

Where is The Global City project located?

The Global City sits directly on Do Xuan Hop Avenue, adjacent to the HCMC – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway, holding a prime location at the heart of Thu Duc.
It offers excellent access — fast connections to District 1, Phu My Hung and the future Long Thanh International Airport. The Global City is more than a modern urban district: it is a core commercial-transport hub that draws strong investment capital.

With its synchronized infrastructure and the strategic advantage of sitting inside one of Ho Chi Minh City's priority development zones, The Global City has very strong potential to become a symbol of a vibrant, prosperous new city.

The Global City's location potential

The connector road and bridge crossing Rach Muong Kinh on Lien Phuong Road have been completed, so the transport connection along the main access axis to the Rach Chiec National Sports Complex is now fully in place.

As Ho Chi Minh City's new center, The Global City not only lifts the commercial value of Thu Duc City but is also positioning itself as a core urban district that actively drives the development of local infrastructure. The completed road brings significant value through enhanced transport connectivity and revitalized commercial exchange.

The Global City occupies a 'diamond' position at the heart of District 2, enjoying full super-connected infrastructure — expressways, avenues and key transport axes. This network continues to mature, further cementing the project's role as Thu Duc's new center and a multi-link hub in the East.

• Lien Phuong Road completed

Lien Phuong Road is one of Thu Duc's key arteries, connecting directly with Xa Lo Ha Noi and passing through several large-scale residential zones.
It cuts travel time from The Global City to major economic centers and satellite areas, playing an important role in strengthening regional connectivity and lifting local value.

• An Phu intersection – HC1 underpass opened

The opening of the HC1 underpass at the An Phu intersection is rated as the key transport 'knot' connecting the Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway and Mai Chi Tho Avenue.
Combined with the metro and other major arterials, it offers a faster, more convenient travel environment.

• Long Thanh International Airport — boosting global connectivity for The Global City residents

Long Thanh International Airport is now in full construction, with primary completion targeted for end-2025 and operation expected in the first half of 2026.
About 30 minutes from The Global City, the airport will be a powerful driver of expanded international connectivity and an accelerator of 'toan cau hoa' (globalization) for The Global City residents.


 

The Global City apartment-project amenity system

The Global City is not just a place to live — it's a complete residential ecosystem delivering an internationally-standard all-in-one lifestyle, where every aspect of daily life can be enjoyed in one place. It has been designed as a city that creates more than a 'home': it shapes a refined, modern lifestyle.

Located in Thu Duc, The Global City is developed with the ambition of becoming an iconic new urban district representing Southeast Asia, equipped with an amenity ecosystem where every family member can fully enjoy services, entertainment and lifestyle experiences. All amenities are delivered in cooperation with leading brands from Vietnam and around the world.

The Global City's indoor and outdoor amenities are exceptional even by regional standards, featuring a 123,000 m² mega shopping mall, Southeast Asia's longest 2 km music-fountain canal, internationally-standard schools, plus general hospitals and medical facilities.

The Global City project master plan

The Global City new urban area is being built on 117.4 hectares in total,
a large-scale mixed-use urban development covering every type of residence — from townhouses and villas to high-end high-rise apartments. Townhouses include courtyard row houses and garden townhouses; high-rises range from 1- to 4-bedroom units, all the way up to the project's top-tier Duplex and Penthouse units.

The high-end apartment cluster comprises 17 towers and 8,063 units in total, with floor areas of 50–150 m² across 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom layouts. The low-rise residential zone has 1,850 units in total,
including townhouses, shophouses and luxury villas. Each unit has a 5-storey structure, a frontage of 5–8 m, a length of 19 m and a wide front road of 14–20 m — a dual-life structure that supports both residential and commercial use.
