💰 1,15 tỷ – 70 tỷ📏 40,5 triệu/m²🏗️ 5 of 9 delivered🏢 4500 units

355-hectare integrated township on a peninsula with 5.8 km of Vam Co Dong River frontage in Ben Luc, Long An. JV between Nam Long (50%), Nishi-Nippon Railroad (30%), and TBS Group (10%). Master-planned by Conybeare Morrison (Australia) with flood engineering by Royal HaskoningDHV (Netherlands). Over 70% green/water coverage. Phase 1 (165 ha) largely delivered; Phase 2 (190 ha) launching 2025-2030. The most price-competitive large-scale township around HCMC — roughly 50-70% of comparable products at Aquacity or Swanbay.

Neighborhood

78*
Family Score
Good
Family infrastructure today rests mainly on EMASI Plus bilingual school, which operates within the development and serves K-12; the masterplan’s Central Park and Heritage Forest — the green anchors for long-term family life — remain under development and will substantially strengthen the family appeal once delivered.
80*
Leisure Score
Excellent
Day-to-day leisure today is modest — cafés and casual restaurants are operating within the project, providing a social baseline for current residents. The planned Waterpoint Marina and Vietnamese-Japanese Cultural Village will substantially widen the leisure offering once delivered.
58*
Convenience
Average
Daily convenience is limited at present — small convenience stores within the development cover basic needs. Aeon Mall Ben Luc (planned on-site) is the township’s future retail anchor, targeting a realistic 2027-2028 opening once construction begins later in 2026.
70*
Health
Good
Medical access today is limited to the on-site Saigon Waterpoint Medical Clinic for primary care. Specialist or emergency care requires a roughly 20 km drive to the nearest general hospital, and no named on-site hospital expansion is confirmed in the masterplan.
38
Transit Access
Below Avg
Transit access is weak — local bus connections are available within the project but provide no practical route to HCMC. The nearest metro station (Ba Queo, Line 2) is 32 km away, making the area car-dependent for all meaningful urban trips.
0
Nightlife
Below Avg
No nightlife scene exists here. The township is a quiet residential masterplan within a peninsula setting — evenings are defined by riverside calm, not any bar or entertainment district.
99
Quietness
Excellent
The atmosphere across the township is exceptionally quiet. A peninsula setting enclosed by the Vàm Cỏ Đông River on three sides, combined with a low-density residential masterplan and minimal commercial strip activity, produces a consistently calm acoustic environment throughout.
* Score includes on-site amenities that are planned or under construction, not yet open.

📈 Investor
Solid

Balanced for both homeowners and investors.

A 355-hectare low-density riverside township with Japan-backed execution, an on-site bilingual school, and Dutch-engineered flood protection — at 50-70% of comparable HCMC satellite city prices. The main tradeoff is timing: much of what makes the project compelling (Aeon Mall, Central Park, Heritage Forest) is still completing, and the single access road creates daily friction until Ring Road 3 opens.

Why the scores differ

Homeowner: Solid for homeowners willing to embrace a suburban lifestyle. The Japanese JV delivers credible build quality: 23% density, 70%+ green and water coverage, Royal HaskoningDHV flood protection to an 80-year standard, and EMASI Plus bilingual school (K-12) open on-site since August 2024. The honest tradeoff is that today's amenity reality is thin — no mall, limited external hospital coverage, and a single access road that congests at peak hours; much of what will make the project compelling (Aeon Mall, Central Park, Heritage Forest) is still completing.

Investor: A medium-term infrastructure play with institutional floor protection. Ring Road 3 and the Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway are both targeting completion within months, and Long Thanh Airport is set for Q4 2026 — if they open on schedule, the buyer pool and rental base widen materially. Nam Long’s listed status (HSX:NLG) and Japanese institutional backing (Nishi-Nippon Railroad 30%) limit sponsor risk. The constraint: Waterpoint sits 16% above its value-peer median, Aeon Mall is still 1-2 years away, and rental yield data is unproven — this is a 3-5 year hold, not a near-term flip.

  • 🟢 Ring Road 3 (targeting full opening June 30, 2026) and the Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway (targeting September 2, 2026) are both in final stages — once open, they provide two new HCMC corridor routes that cut estimated D1 travel time by 15-20 minutes and directly widen the project's buyer and tenant pool.
  • 🟡 Project pricing sits ~16% above the value-segment peer median (40.5M/m² vs. ~35M/m² peer median). Delivered sub-zones offer more competitive entry — EHome Southgate apartments trade around 24M/m² on the secondary market; buyers should benchmark carefully before committing to primary-market launches.
  • 🟡 Secondary market activity is building for delivered sub-zones (Aquaria 1, Rivera 1, EHome Southgate) but remains thinner than established urban projects — exit timelines of 1-2 years are realistic for smaller apartment units; villa sub-zones may require longer holds.
  • 🔴 Aeon Mall Ben Luc remains in investment-approval stage as of mid-2026 — construction has not begun, and the realistic opening window is 2027-2028. The township's most-cited livability gap (limited daily retail) will persist for at least another 12-18 months even under an optimistic scenario.
  • 🟢 Vietnam's strong macro backdrop (GDP +7.83% in Q1 2026, FDI +43% y-o-y) and the FTSE Russell upgrade to Secondary Emerging Market status (effective September 2026) support positive sentiment toward HCMC-corridor real estate. Long Thanh Airport targeting commercial operations in Q4 2026 further strengthens the Long An industrial and logistics belt that surrounds Waterpoint.

Is this a good deal?

Project Price Distance
Waterpoint 40,5 triệu/m²
AquaCity (Novaland) 30-50% more expensive per m² Dong Nai (Nhon Trach) — similar expressway-dependent location but larger developer brand, more advanced retail infrastructure, and closer proximity to Long Thanh Airport

Should you buy here?

Best for:
  • Families prioritizing school access and natural living over CBD convenience — EMASI Plus bilingual K-12 is live and the green ratio is the highest of any large township around HCMC
  • Japanese expatriates working in Ben Luc–Long An industrial zones — the Japanese JV partnership and on-site cultural facilities create a familiar environment
  • First-home buyers seeking affordable space with a long-term live-in horizon of 5+ years — lower price than comparable HCMC products and room to grow as infrastructure improves
Not ideal for:
  • Daily commuters to District 1 — 45-75 min each way by car, no transit alternative, and the single access road congests regularly
  • Buyers wanting a vibrant, fully-serviced community today — occupancy is still building and retail beyond convenience stores is limited

Decision Factors

Strengths

  • EMASI Plus K-12 bilingual school is open on-site — the only school of this scale in the southern HCMC corridor, directly anchoring the family buyer demographic
  • Royal HaskoningDHV-designed flood protection to an 80-year standard on a 3-side river peninsula — credible Dutch engineering mitigation, not developer marketing
  • 23% construction density with 70%+ green and water coverage — the lowest density among large-scale townships in the HCMC orbit at comparable price points
  • Nam Long listed (HSX:NLG) with Nishi-Nippon Railroad (30%) and TBS Group (10%) as institutional partners — reduces sponsor default risk compared with a private unlisted developer

Tradeoffs

  • !Single TL830 access road into the peninsula is the primary daily friction — congests at peak hours; Ring Road 3 (targeting June 30, 2026) is the structural fix but not yet confirmed open
  • !Current amenity ecosystem is thin — no mall, limited external hospitals or schools; today's lifestyle and convenience scores reflect a community still building out, not one that has arrived
  • !Priced 16% above the value-segment peer median — the affordability pitch rests on comparison with much larger HCMC projects, not immediate peers

Watch items

  • ?Aeon Mall Ben Luc: investment approval still in progress as of mid-2026, construction not yet started — realistic opening 2027-2028, not a near-term livability driver
  • ?The Aqua pink-book processing: handover commenced Q3 2025 but issuance runs through Long An province land registry — verify current batch status directly before any transaction
  • ?Ring Road 3 (targeting June 30, 2026) and Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway (targeting September 2, 2026) are imminent but not yet confirmed open as of June 27, 2026 — connectivity improvements depend on their timely completion

Residents are primarily young HCMC families who chose the township for its school credentials and green-space ratio, alongside Japanese expatriate workers from the Ben Luc and Long An industrial zones. A buy-and-hold investor contingent holds units in delivered sub-zones (Aquaria 1, Rivera 1, EHome Southgate). The community is in early formation — the atmosphere is peaceful and low-density, gradually filling in as infrastructure matures.

Things to consider (not deal breakers)

TL830 is the single access road into the Waterpoint peninsula and the primary congestion point during peak hours. The QL1A intersection at Ben Luc town is a secondary bottleneck. Ring Road 3 (full opening targeted before June 30, 2026) and the Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway (targeting September 2, 2026) are both approaching completion and will ease wider corridor congestion once operational.
→ Ring Road 3 (targeting full opening before June 30, 2026) and the Ben Luc–Long Thanh Expressway (targeting September 2, 2026) are both nearing completion — once open, they provide two major alternative HCMC routes reducing D1 travel time by an estimated 15-20 minutes.
