New City Thu Thiem location:

The Thu Thiem New Urban Area (located in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City) is envisioned as an international-standard hub for finance, commerce, and high-end services, serving as an extension of Ho Chi Minh City’s central business district. Below are details regarding the location and master plan of this peninsula:

1. Strategic Location

Situated on the Thu Thiem Peninsula along the eastern bank of the Saigon River, the urban area covers a planned total of 657 hectares and lies directly opposite the city’s “heart”—District 1.

West and South: Bordered by the Saigon River, offering panoramic views of District 1, District 4, and District 7.
East and North: Adjacent to the rest of Thu Duc City (specifically the wards of An Khanh, An Loi Dong, and Thao Dien), providing easy access to the Hanoi Highway and the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway.

2. Transportation Network & Connectivity Infrastructure

Thu Thiem’s infrastructure is designed with a synchronized, smart transportation network, ensuring multi-directional connectivity to key districts:

River-crossing projects: Existing infrastructure includes the Saigon River Tunnel (connecting to District 1), Thu Thiem 1 Bridge (connecting to Binh Thanh District), and Ba Son Bridge/Thu Thiem 2 Bridge (connecting to Ton Duc Thang Street, District 1). Future developments will include Thu Thiem 3 Bridge (connecting to District 4), Thu Thiem 4 Bridge (connecting to District 7), and a pedestrian bridge spanning the Saigon River to link directly with Nguyen Hue Walking Street. 4 arterial internal routes: Comprising Vong Cung Boulevard, the Central Lakefront Road, the Saigon Riverfront Road, and the Delta Road (traversing the wetland ecological zone), these form a seamless transportation framework for the entire peninsula.

3. Zoning into 8 functional areas

The master plan for Thu Thiem, designed by Sasaki Associates (USA), divides the peninsula into eight functional zones, each with a distinct role, harmoniously blending high-rise development with ecological spaces:

  • Functional Area 1 (Northern half of the Central Core): A hub for iconic office towers and multi-functional commercial centers. Key planned landmarks include the Convention and Exhibition Center, the Symphony Hall, and the Central Plaza.
  • Functional Area 2 (Southern half of the Central Core): A high-density complex featuring residential, commercial, sports, and entertainment facilities. The centerpiece is the Observation Tower Complex (Empire City), projected to be one of the tallest buildings in Vietnam.
  • Functional Areas 3 & 4 (Northern Residential Zone): Situated along the peninsula’s northern waterfront, this area comprises mixed-use residential developments (such as The River and Zeit River). Building heights and development densities are designed to taper down from Ba Son Bridge toward Thu Thiem 1 Bridge.
  • Functional Area 5 (Along the Mai Chi Tho axis): An area designated for public facilities—such as the Children’s Palace and the Urban Administrative Center—alongside low-density residential zones.
  • Functional Zone 6 (Along the eastern ecological corridor): Primarily designated for accommodation and research support facilities, this zone features a software park, an international hospital, and scenic canal networks.
  • Functional Zone 7 (Southern Delta Zone): Planned as a complex of high-end resort hotels and a marina, interspersed with commercial areas to capitalize on the waterfront landscape.
  • Functional Zone 8 (Southern Wetland Ecological Zone): Serving as the “green lung” of the entire area, this zone encompasses nature reserves and wetland ecological parks, playing a vital role in water regulation and providing green landscape spaces for the entire urban area.

Driven by a visionary master plan and robust infrastructure investment, Thu Thiem has become a magnet for luxury real estate capital and the region’s elite.
