Folio I · The Vision

Four pillars. One township.

  • 01

    A new center in Ho Chi Minh.

    Located in An Phu ward, the township sits at the strategic edge of District 2 — the city's emerging central business district. Five minutes to Thao Dien, twenty to the airport, and the future Long Thanh International Airport on its doorstep.

  • 02

    Foster + Partners. Vietnam's first.

    The Global City is the first residential township created by Foster + Partners in Vietnam — the practice behind Apple Park, the Hearst Tower, 30 St Mary Axe and Bloomberg's European HQ. Their master plan threads residential, retail, civic and green-park infrastructure into one coherent urban grid.

  • 03

    Masterise Homes. Marriott pedigree.

    Masterise Homes is the leading international branded real-estate developer in Vietnam, operating the largest Branded Residences portfolio in Southeast Asia in collaboration with Marriott International. The Global City is the firm's first urban-area township.

  • 04

    A perfect community.

    Residential clusters, retail boulevards, an international school district, a Marriott-branded sports complex, Southeast Asia's largest musical fountain canal, and a 125,000 m² grade-A shopping mall — every part of the day, walkable.

Investor FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is The Global City?
Foster + Partners master plan. 117.4 ha mixed-use city by Masterise Homes, with CT4 Cosmo Central, CT5 Park Place and CT7 Lumiere Mid Town sub-zones. It is offered to both owner-occupiers and investors, and is published here only after being verified for foreign-ownership eligibility under Vietnam's Housing Law 2023.
Where is The Global City located?
The Global City is located in District 2 · HCMC, Ho Chi Minh. Our advisory team can share the exact address, masterplan position, and the surrounding transport and amenity context on request.
Can foreigners buy apartments at The Global City?
Yes — foreigners can buy eligible condominium units when the project is cleared for foreign ownership and its 30%-per-building quota is not full. The full pathway: (1) you purchase via an official Sale & Purchase Agreement (SPA) signed directly with the developer; (2) you hold a 50-year leasehold, renewable under the Housing Law 2023; (3) you can freely resell or lease the home during that term, with proceeds repatriable; (4) when the home is resold to a Vietnamese national, the title converts to permanent (freehold) ownership. We confirm the remaining foreign quota for The Global City before any reservation.
Can a foreigner resell an apartment at The Global City?
Yes. During your 50-year term you can freely resell or lease The Global City. If you sell to another eligible foreigner, the 50-year leasehold continues within the building's foreign quota; if you sell to a Vietnamese national, the title converts to permanent (freehold) ownership for that buyer. Sale proceeds are repatriable when the original purchase funds came in through the regulated Vietnamese banking channel.
What is the price of The Global City in 2026?
Pricing varies by tower, unit size, view, floor, payment schedule, and launch phase. Rather than quote a stale figure, we provide the latest developer price list together with all taxes, fees, and current foreign-buyer availability so you can compare like-for-like before booking.
Who is the developer of The Global City?
The Global City is developed by Masterise Homes. Before purchasing, foreign investors should review the developer's track record, the project's legal status, the construction timeline, the sale & purchase agreement, and the handover standard — all of which our team verifies for you.
Is The Global City a good investment for rental income?
The Global City may appeal to tenants seeking quality housing in District 2 · HCMC, but rental performance depends on your purchase price, unit layout, handover quality, competing supply, tenant demand, and management fees. We can model an indicative net yield for a specific unit using current market rents.
What amenities does The Global City offer?
The Global City is marketed around modern living with landscaped areas and lifestyle facilities. Specific amenities can differ by tower and handover phase, so we confirm the exact facility list against the official developer brochure before you commit.
What documents should foreign buyers check before buying The Global City?
Check the project's legal eligibility for foreign ownership, remaining foreign quota, the sale & purchase agreement, the payment schedule, pink-book (ownership certificate) terms, developer approvals, the bank guarantee for off-plan sales, and all taxes and fees. Independent legal review is strongly recommended — our in-house legal counsel handles this end-to-end.
How does The Global City compare with other projects in Ho Chi Minh?
Compare on price per square metre, location and view, unit efficiency, developer brand, handover specification, expected rental demand, and remaining foreign quota. We can prepare a side-by-side comparison against other verified projects so you know whether the premium is justified.
