Three decades ago, Pudong (Shanghai, China) by the Huangpu River was a wildland – now it is a symbol of Mainland China. Similarly, Thu Thiem was a wildland of swamps by the Saigon River 20 years ago but is now transforming into a Vietnamese version of Pudong after being approved by the government to develop Thu Thiem into the most modern megacity in Southeast Asia.
A series of prominent infrastructures are being completed that are bringing a new look to the Thu Thiem area. The completion of Mai Chi Tho Avenue under the East-West traffic axis in 2009 was considered a turning point for the construction of coming infrastructure projects in District 2.
Key infrastructure including Thu Thiem 1 and 2 bridges, a pedestrian bridge helping to easily connect the central business district (CBD) with the eastern area of Ho Chi Minh City are important factors that make this area attractive. Most recently, on September 2, Thu Thiem 2 Bridge completed the installation of final steel beams – connecting the banks of districts 1 and 2. Hence, the bridge is expected to be put into service in the second quarter of 2022 and will draw a greater number of shoppers from all over the city, opening up many business and investment opportunities and resulting in sustainable value appreciation.
Right in the heart of Thu Thiem – the Vietnamese version of prosperous Pudong thanks to its super-prime location surrounded by the Saigon River – The Metropole is the “soul” of the area because of its strategic location at the foot of the newly-built Thu Thiem 2 Bridge.
The project also comes with a spectacular view of Bach Dang Park on the west bank of the Saigon River. Once completed, it would make Thu Thiem attractive not only for elite homebuyers and savvy investors but also for companies and tourists.
The Opera Residence – the most beautiful component of Metropole Thu Thiem with immeasurable values
Since launching in 2018, The Metropole Thu Thiem made a strong impression on customers and discerning investors with all apartments in The Galleria Residence and The Crest Residence sold out.
While The Galleria Residence and The Crest Residence were influenced by art and technology museum masterpieces, The Opera Residence is inspired by ripples of the Saigon River, along with the symphonic melodies resounding from the new Opera Theater.
Of all the factors that make a luxury apartment, a magnificent view is one of the keys to conquering discerning investors. Obtaining a golden position right at the foot of Thu Thiem 2 Bridge – a unique gateway connecting the centres of districts 1 and 2 – with a breathtaking view of the river and the new urban area, The Opera Residence attracts not only successful homebuyers but also domestic and international investors.
It is not easy to find a living space that can offer the same range of exclusive elements as The Opera Residence in terms of strategic location, top-notch design, and classy amenities. Within a radius of less than 1km, residents can easily access new iconic constructions of Thu Thiem New Urban Area such as the City Convention Centre; Central Plaza – where key cultural, art, technology, and entertainment festivals will take place; Bach Dang Wharf; Thu Thiem pedestrian bridge; Thu Thiem Tunnel; and more. A full range of healthcare facilities at The Opera Residence – from the modern, fully equipped gym, yoga-pilates room, “vibrato seaters” (Hydro massage sunken seater), sauna and massage pavilion, Golf simulator, BBQ spots, and riverside parks – will make life worth living at the project.
Whether waking up to welcome the dawn and the fresh river breeze or marvelling at the sun setting over a dynamic city – The Opera Residence will dazzle to be a symbol of a new lifestyle for successful people.
Savvy investors understand that with riverside land being limited, owning property in a super-prime area like Thu Thiem New Urban Area, especially one with magnificent river view and a unique gateway location to the centres of District 1 and Thu Duc City is a sure-fire investment. “Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them," William Arthur Ward, American educator, author of Fountains of Faith, once told.
