PALM CITY – A RIVERSIDE RESORT-STYLE URBAN DESTINATION IN THE HEART OF HO CHI MINH CITY

Amid the rapid transformation of eastern Ho Chi Minh City, Palm City is envisioned as a new-generation riverside resort-style urban development where seamless city connectivity meets nature, waterfront landscapes, and a comprehensive ecosystem designed to elevate everyday living.

Located in Binh Trung Ward and adjacent to the Thu Thiem International Financial Centre, Palm City spans a total area of 30.2 hectares. More than a residential development, the project integrates a diverse mix of functions, including commercial spaces, offices, education, healthcare, landscaped areas, and resort-inspired amenities.

What sets Palm City apart is its development philosophy: nature is not simply part of the scenery but an integral part of everyday life. Green spaces, the river, and wellness-focused amenities are thoughtfully woven throughout the development, creating a more balanced lifestyle in the heart of the city.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Palm City is master-planned across 30.2 hectares, comprising six residential precincts alongside a diverse range of urban functions. The development also features the iconic Palm Landmark, a shopping mall, Grade A+ office space, an international hospital, and an international school system.

One of the most distinctive elements of the master plan is the nearly 3-kilometre riverside park. Complementing this waterfront landscape is a commercial street stretching over 500 metres, creating a vibrant destination where nature, shopping, dining, relaxation, and community life come together.

PALM CITY’S LOCATION – AT THE CROSSROADS OF MAJOR CONNECTIVITY CORRIDORS

Palm City enjoys a strategic position within one of the key development areas of eastern Ho Chi Minh City. From here, residents can conveniently reach Thu Thiem and the city centre while also gaining access to major inter-regional infrastructure corridors extending eastward.

According to the project materials, Palm City is approximately 1 minute from Binh Trung Station; around 3 minutes from the Thu Thiem – Long Thanh Metro line, An Phu Interchange, and the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway; and approximately 5 minutes from Thu Thiem Metro Station. Long Thanh International Airport is expected to be accessible within approximately 30 minutes.

Beyond convenient transportation, Palm City is also close to areas playing increasingly important roles in Ho Chi Minh City’s evolving urban structure. The Thu Thiem International Financial Centre and the city’s new administrative centre are approximately 10 minutes away, while the former District 1 city centre is around 12 minutes away.

The project’s connectivity map also highlights major infrastructure developments such as Ring Road 3, the Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway, the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway, the Thu Thiem – Long Thanh railway, and the North–South high-speed railway. These connections position Palm City not only in relation to today’s city centre, but also within the broader transportation network shaping the future of eastern Ho Chi Minh City.

AN URBAN DEVELOPMENT SHAPED AROUND THE RIVER

If connectivity defines Palm City’s accessibility, its riverside landscape gives the development its distinctive lifestyle identity.

Rather than treating the waterfront simply as a visual advantage, Palm City brings the river into the everyday experience of its residents. Parks, jogging trails, cycling paths, scenic viewpoints, and resting areas are arranged along the waterfront, creating an ecosystem dedicated to exercise, relaxation, and connection with nature.

According to the amenity master plan, residents will have access to picnic areas and fruit gardens, nature playgrounds, multifunctional lawns, fishing areas, an ecological observation deck, senior fitness areas, outdoor meditation and yoga decks, and a therapeutic forest.

This is how Palm City transforms the concept of “riverside living” from a scenic feature into an everyday experience. A morning run by the water, an afternoon surrounded by greenery, or a relaxed weekend with family can all become part of daily life within the development.

A WELLNESS ECOSYSTEM – RECHARGING EVERY DAY

Palm City dedicates a significant part of its amenity system to health and wellness. Rather than limiting its offering to conventional swimming pools and fitness centres, the project expands the experience to encompass physical activity, relaxation, recovery, and overall well-being.

The project introduces a cold plunge pool for rejuvenation, Sky Onsen, Jim Jil Bang sauna, an Olympic-standard swimming pool, a hydrotherapy relaxation pool, an elevated infinity pool, and a hot mineral Onsen bath. These are complemented by a gym, yoga spaces, a 3D golf room, and dedicated facilities for families and children.

Outdoor sports facilities are equally diverse, including pickleball courts, volleyball courts, multifunctional sports courts, table tennis areas, and a Bocce corner. These amenities are integrated into the overall green landscape rather than being confined entirely to indoor spaces.

Together, they reinforce Palm City’s positioning as a “resort-style urban development”, where the feeling of retreat is no longer reserved for weekend getaways but becomes part of residents’ everyday routines.

A LIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR MULTIPLE GENERATIONS

A large-scale urban development must serve more than the needs of working adults alone. Palm City therefore creates an amenity ecosystem designed for multiple generations, from children and young adults to families and seniors.

Children can enjoy nature playgrounds, water play areas, and shared learning and reading spaces. Younger residents have access to sports, entertainment, and social spaces, while seniors benefit from dedicated fitness areas, walking paths, meditation spaces, and peaceful areas surrounded by nature.

Herb gardens, community lawns, an outdoor cinema, grass amphitheatre, and hammock relaxation corners further create natural gathering spaces where family members and neighbours can spend time together.

Through this multi-generational approach, Palm City aims to create more than individual homes. It seeks to establish a community where different generations can live, interact, and enjoy their own lifestyle experiences within one integrated environment.

EDUCATION – HEALTHCARE – RETAIL WITHIN ONE URBAN ECOSYSTEM

Palm City is not planned as a standalone residential project. An international hospital, international school system, shopping mall, outdoor dining and café areas, and a wide range of services are integrated into the master plan to meet residents’ essential everyday needs within the development.

For families with children, the surrounding education network is another notable advantage. According to the brochure, The American School (TAS) is approximately 3 minutes away, Australian International School (AIS) around 7 minutes, Vietnam Australia International School (VAS) around 10 minutes, and Saigon International University (SIU) approximately 12 minutes away.

Shopping and entertainment are also within convenient reach, with Thiso Mall approximately 10 minutes away and Vincom Mega Mall and Estella Place around 12 minutes away. American International Hospital (AIH), meanwhile, is approximately 8 minutes from the project.

As a result, residents do not necessarily have to choose between living close to the city centre and enjoying a comprehensive living environment. Palm City seeks to bring both qualities together within one urban destination.

PALM CITY AND THE VISION FOR A NEW STANDARD OF LIVING

Palm City is introduced as one of the flagship developments within Huong Viet Properties’ portfolio. The developer’s vision is centred on integrating master planning, technology, and cultural identity to create quality communities with sustainable value for both present and future generations.

This philosophy can be seen in the way Palm City organises its urban environment. Residential spaces do not stand in isolation, landscaping serves more than an aesthetic purpose, and amenities are more than supporting features. Instead, each element is integrated into a unified ecosystem centred on residents’ quality of life.

From waterfront landscapes and wellness facilities to education, healthcare, retail, and community spaces, the project seeks to create an environment where everyday needs can be fulfilled within a thoughtfully planned urban setting.

PALM CITY – WHERE “RESORT LIVING” BECOMES PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE

Palm City’s appeal lies in the convergence of multiple advantages: a strategic location in eastern Ho Chi Minh City, convenient access to Thu Thiem, a 30.2-hectare master plan, a nearly 3-kilometre riverside park, a commercial street stretching over 500 metres, and an extensive ecosystem spanning wellness, education, healthcare, retail, and recreation.

Yet beyond the figures, Palm City presents a different vision of urban living. In a city that is constantly moving, residents can still find green spaces to unwind, waterfront settings to relax, scenic trails to stay active, and wellness facilities just steps from home.

This embodies the essence of Palm City as a “resort-style urban destination in the heart of the city” – a place where prosperity is measured not only by location or property value, but also by the quality of everyday life.
