Neighborhood
48*
Family Score
Average
Family support is moderate and limited to early education today. Several kindergartens sit within 0.7 km, but primary and secondary options are further out, with Inspire Global Schools, one of HCMC's top bilingual schools, about 2.5 km away.
69*
Leisure Score
Good
Casual dining and café options are solid for a suburban corridor. Neighbourhood restaurants and garden cafés within about 0.5 km support easy weekend outings without driving into the city.
58*
Convenience
Average
Daily convenience is weak today. The nearest supermarket and convenience stores are 1.2–1.6 km away, and while on-site daily retail is expected as the project builds out, no named tenant is confirmed.
29
Health
Below Avg
Medical access is thin beyond one hospital. Hanh Phuc International Hospital is about 660 m away, but pharmacies and clinics are 1.2 km or more and the larger Thu Duc City Hospital is about 4.0 km.
12
Transit Access
Below Avg
Walking access to transit is very weak: the nearest bus stops are about 1.4–2.0 km away and the closest metro station, Thu Duc, is about 8.5 km.

Nightlife
Below Avg
There is no dedicated nightlife district nearby. The surroundings are residential and industrial-corridor in character, so evenings revolve around local eateries rather than bars and clubs.
49
Quietness
Average
Quietness is mixed. Noise is rated moderate along the Highway 13 corridor, and a handful of local pubs within about 300 m add evening activity, though the area is otherwise residential.

🏠 Homeowner
Solid
6.7
📈 Investor
Solid
Balanced for both homeowners and investors.
A workable homeowner option for VSIP 1 and Highway 13 workers who want a resort-style podium at around 62M/m², with pre-sales entry from about 1.9 billion VND. The trade-off is a dense, off-plan site on a congested highway, with handover estimated Q4 2028, pink books pending until after handover, and a developer with a thin delivery record.

Why the scores differ
Homeowner: A mixed-to-decent choice for homeowners who work along Highway 13. The resort-style podium (infinity pool, spa, kids' pool) with CBRE operations and a nearby hospital are real draws, but daily retail, schools and transit are thin today and the towers are only at foundation stage, with handover estimated for Q4 2028 and pink books expected a year or two after.
Investor: A long-hold, delivery-dependent thesis rather than a liquid one. Pricing near 60M/m² is slightly under the mid-segment peers and the Highway 13 widening is under way, but there is no rental history, resale is thin, and the developer has little handover record to lean on.
Price & Market
Current Market Price
62,2 triệu/m²
📉-1% since launch
Unit price
1,83 tỷ – 5,5 tỷ
Launch price
62,6 triệu/m²
•🟢 Primary pricing of about 60M/m² typical (launch 62.6M) sits a few percent under the mid-segment peer median of roughly 65M/m² across 28 peers, so entry is fair rather than discounted.
•🟢 Highway 13 widening to 10 lanes with a 3.2 km elevated section is under construction (from June 2026, completion targeted 2028), timed close to the estimated Q4 2028 handover.
•🟡 The Binh Duong–HCMC metro through Thuan An is a longer-dated upside: groundbreaking is targeted for 2026 and operation around 2030, with no investor named yet.
•🟡 CBRE (May 2026) puts the new HCMC condo primary average at VND 71M/m² (+11% year on year) with 70% absorption and a growing pipeline of about 33,500 units forecast for 2026, so this project competes with rising supply.
•🔴 Pre-handover exposure: pink book is pending (expected 2029–2030) and the developer has a limited delivery record, so resale and rental liquidity are unproven.

—
Akari City
Akari City trades about 25% cheaper (around 46M/m² typical)
Binh Tan, similar distance from the CBD, larger township scale and stronger developer credentials.
Opal Skyline
Cheaper on listed ranges (roughly 36–45M/m²)
Thuan An on the same Highway 13 corridor, the most direct competitor.
Bcons Polaris
Considerably cheaper (roughly 28–35M/m²)
Binh Duong on a similar corridor, a lower entry point with less amenity depth.
Should you buy here?
Best for:
✓Professionals working at VSIP 1 or Binh Duong industrial zones
✓Off-plan buyers comfortable waiting for a Q4 2028 handover, seeking resort-style amenities from about 1.9 billion VND
Not ideal for:
✗Buyers needing a quick daily commute to District 1
✗Risk-averse buyers who want a proven developer delivery record or a ready pink book
Market Trends
Primary pricing sits around 60M/m² typical (48–71M/m² range) against a 62.6M/m² launch price; this is the first recorded snapshot, so no trend can be read yet.
Decision Factors
Strengths
✓Highway 13 frontage with the 10-lane widening under construction since June 2026 and targeted for 2028, aimed squarely at the corridor's peak-hour congestion.
✓Amenity podium that is uncommon on this corridor: infinity pool facing Song Be Golf Course, spa with sauna, kids' pool, gym and yoga room, operated by CBRE.
✓Pricing of about 60–62M/m² sits slightly under the mid-segment peer median, with entry from roughly 1.9 billion VND.
✓Hanh Phuc International Hospital is about 660 m away and flood risk is low, which covers two everyday risks for families.
Tradeoffs
!Highway 13 is the only arterial and public transit is weak: bus stops are 1.4 km or more away, the nearest metro station is about 8.5 km, and the bus route to Bến Thành takes about 71 minutes.
!1,149 units across three 40-floor towers on about one hectare is a dense footprint, and daily retail is 1.2–1.6 km away until on-site retail is delivered.
Watch items
?Pink book is pending, with individual books expected 1–2 years after handover (2029–2030). Some resale listings already claim pink books, which is not possible before handover.
?Lê Phong Group has a thin delivery record and received a regulatory warning in 2023 over promotional practices at other projects. Construction was last reported at basement and foundation stage (May 2026), with handover estimated Q4 2028.
?The metro through Thuan An targets groundbreaking in 2026 and operation around 2030 but has no named investor or contractor yet, and floating mortgage rates of 12–15% (CBRE, May 2026) raise financing costs for a long off-plan wait.

Legal Notes
Construction permit obtained before the January 23, 2026 groundbreaking; 1/500 detailed planning completed. General contractor is CENTRAL Construction (contract signed December 25, 2025); CBRE Vietnam provides property management and operations consulting, with MB Bank as finance partner. Individual pink books expected 1–2 years post-handover (target 2029–2030). Re-searched October 2026: no new legal disputes, pink-book issuance or permit changes found; construction was last publicly reported at basement/foundation stage (May 2026). Some resale listings claim pink books, which is not possible pre-handover. Historical note: Lê Phong Group received a regulatory warning in 2023 regarding promotional practices at other projects.
Amenities
👨👩👧Family: Dedicated children's pool and play zones are separated from adult areas, with a meditation garden providing quiet green space. On-site retail keeps household essentials within walking distance.
🏋️Fitness: A modern gym, yoga studio, spa with sauna, and infinity pool facing Song Be Golf Course cover daily and weekend wellness needs. The adult pool is designed for both lap swimming and leisure.
🏖️Lifestyle: Ground-floor retail and dining run along the podium base, supporting daily errands without leaving the complex. A hotel-style lobby with CBRE property management delivers professional residential service for residents.
🛒Convenience: Three basement levels provide structured car and motorbike parking for 1,149 units, minimising surface congestion. Round-the-clock security and CBRE property management operate building-wide.

Things to consider (not deal breakers)
⚠️ Traffic

Highway 13 is the project's sole arterial access — peak-hour congestion between the Binh Phuoc intersection and the Thu Duc interchange is the main friction point for residents commuting toward central HCMC.
→ Three basement levels of on-site parking reduce street-level congestion within the complex. The Highway 13 expansion — widening to 10 lanes on a 60-metre cross-section with a 3.2 km elevated central section, now under construction with completion targeted in 2028 — directly addresses corridor peak-hour congestion. The Binh Duong-HCMC metro via Thuan An would add a rail commute option when operational.
🌊 Flood Risk

The Highway 13 corridor sits at a higher elevation than adjacent canal-side streets; seasonal flooding risk here is low relative to lower-lying parts of Binh Hoa Ward.
→ Three basement levels are engineered with waterproofing; highway-elevation positioning means surface flood events are typically short-lived.
Notable Places
Infinity Pool
Infinity-edge pool positioned to frame panoramic views of Song Be Golf Course — rare in the Thuan An / Binh Hoa residential corridor where most project pools face internal courtyards. Paired with a separate children's pool.
Spa & Wellness Centre
Dedicated spa and wellness facility with sauna and relaxation zones built into the residential complex. On-site spa access is uncommon in this price band and corridor, where most competing projects stop at gym and pool.
