Huong Viet Properties has been honoured with two prestigious accolades at the 2026 Dot Property Vietnam Awards, reaffirming its vision of creating integrated urban developments that deliver long-term value and elevate residents’ quality of life.

Palm City and Palm River reflect Huong Viet Properties’ sustainable vision.

At this year’s awards in Ho Chi Minh City on July 30, Palm City was recognised as Best Luxury Urban Lifestyle Development Vietnam 2026, while Palm River received the Best Innovative Integrated Residence Vietnam 2026 award.

These recognitions underscore Huong Viet Properties’ long-term development strategy of building integrated urban communities through thoughtful master planning, people-centric design, and sustainable value creation.

Huong Viet Properties develops its projects with the vision of creating integrated living ecosystems, bringing together architecture, nature, lifestyle amenities, wellness facilities, and green building solutions into cohesive master-planned communities. The recognition of both Palm City and Palm River at the Dot Property Vietnam Awards 2026 further validates the company’s commitment to this development philosophy.

“Receiving these two awards at the Dot Property Vietnam Awards 2026 is a meaningful recognition of the development direction that Huong Viet Properties has consistently pursued,” said Nguyen Si Toan, the managing director of High-rise Real Estate Business Division, Huong Viet Properties.

“We believe the true value of a real estate development extends beyond its scale or architectural design. It lies in its ability to create a high-quality living environment where residents can connect with nature, enjoy comprehensive amenities, and experience sustainable value over the long term. These awards inspire us to continue investing in thoughtful planning, innovative design, and human-centric urban developments that enhance everyday living.”

Palm City – redefining resort-inspired urban living

According to the judging panel, Palm City distinguished itself through its ‘Urban Retreat in the City’ development concept, creating a balanced living environment that seamlessly combines the vibrancy of urban life with the tranquillity of nature.

Spanning 30.6 hectares, Palm City is master-planned as an integrated township comprising residential communities, commercial and office spaces, international schools, an international hospital, and approximately 3km of riverside parkland, forming a self-contained ecosystem designed for modern urban living.

Strategically located along the Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway frontage road, Palm City offers convenient access to the Thu Thiem International Financial Centre, downtown Ho Chi Minh City, Long Thanh International Airport, and key infrastructure projects, including the Thu Thiem – Long Thanh Metro Line, the An Phu Interchange, and Cat Lai Bridge. Its prime location and comprehensive master plan have established Palm City as one of the premier integrated townships in eastern Ho Chi Minh City.

One of the defining factors behind Palm City’s recognition is its ‘Sustainable Luxury’ philosophy, which promotes a harmonious balance between architecture, nature, and quality of life. Leveraging its prime riverside setting, the development maximises water frontage and expansive green spaces to create a healthier microclimate, mitigate the urban heat island effect, and deliver a more comfortable living environment for residents.

Palm City also features more than 100 on-site lifestyle amenities, including international schools, an international hospital, retail and commercial facilities, sports and recreation areas, riverside parks, and vibrant community spaces.

According to the judging panel, Palm City’s ability to provide a comprehensive live–learn–work–play environment within a single integrated township sets it apart from conventional residential developments. This holistic approach reflects the evolving expectations of today’s homebuyers and aligns with global trends in premium urban living.

Palm River – an integrated residential concept shaping a new lifestyle standard

As the newest residential precinct within Palm City, Palm River has been developed under the Luxury Boutique Apartment concept, inspired by the vision of ‘Resort Living in the Heart of the City’.

Occupying a prime dual-riverfront location at the heart of the township, Palm River offers residents a tranquil nature-inspired environment while enjoying seamless access to the fully established infrastructure and comprehensive amenities of Palm City.

According to the awards organiser, Palm River stands out through its Biophilic Design philosophy, complemented by Wabi-Sabi-inspired interiors, creating living spaces that foster a closer connection with nature while embracing simplicity, balance, and wellbeing.

The development also incorporates more than 40 wellness and water-inspired amenities, including a Sky Onsen, Cold Plunge Therapy Pool, a 70-metre lap pool, infinity pool, private spa, Sky Yoga Deck, Sky Gym & Pilates studio, golf simulator, clubhouse, sky observation deck, and a collection of riverside relaxation spaces. Together, these facilities are thoughtfully designed to support the lifestyle aspirations of today’s wellness-conscious urban residents.

Palm River demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability through the integration of green building solutions from the earliest planning stages. The project is pursuing EDGE certification, targeting a minimum 20 per cent reduction in energy, water, and embodied material consumption through high-performance glazing systems, insulated roofing, LED lighting, water-efficient sanitary fixtures, and environmentally responsible construction materials.

The development also incorporates a two-stage water filtration system with UV purification technology, low-emission E1-certified materials, and design strategies that optimise natural ventilation and daylight throughout each residence.

According to the judging panel, Palm River’s seamless integration of sustainable design, modern technology, and wellness-focused amenities represents an innovative residential model that embraces the future of sustainable urban living, earning it the Best Innovative Integrated Residence Vietnam 2026 title.

Advancing people-centric urban development

The two accolades at the Dot Property Vietnam Awards 2026 further reinforce Huong Viet Properties’ growing presence in Vietnam’s real estate market and reflect the company’s commitment to developing integrated urban communities that meet international standards.

Palm City and Palm River have been recognised as exemplary developments that embody the future of modern urban living, where architecture, nature, lifestyle amenities, and sustainability come together to create lasting value for residents while contributing positively to the evolution of Vietnam’s real estate landscape.

Looking ahead, Huong Viet Properties will continue to expand its project portfolio in line with its long-term development strategy, placing residents’ needs and experiences at the heart of every project. The company remains committed to continuously enhancing planning, design, development, and operational excellence to deliver sustainable value for communities and future generations.

Palm City enters new development phase with Palm River launch

Posted on by adminPalmCity

Nam Rach Chiec Company Limited and Huong Viet Properties have launched Palm River, the latest residential subdivision within the 30.2-hectare Palm City township in Binh Trung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City.

The launch marks a new development phase for Palm City, a mixed-use township project in eastern Ho Chi Minh City.

Located near Thu Thiem and several major transportation projects, Palm City is situated in an area undergoing significant infrastructure development. The township is connected to key routes including the Ho Chi Minh City–Long Thanh–Dau Giay Expressway and the An Phu Interchange, while future projects such as the Thu Thiem–Long Thanh metro line and Long Thanh International Airport are expected to improve regional connectivity.

Developers have increasingly focused on integrated township projects that combine residential, commercial and community functions as demand grows for larger-scale urban developments.

Palm City spans 30.2 hectares and is planned to include residential areas, retail facilities, schools, healthcare services and community amenities. The development also incorporates riverside landscapes, green spaces and public areas throughout the project.

Speaking at the launch event, Nguyen Si Toan, Managing Director, High-rise Residential Real Estate at Huong Viet Properties, said Palm River represents the next stage in the township’s development.

“We see Palm River as the beginning of Palm City’s next chapter and a continuation of our commitment to creating a thoughtfully planned township focused on long-term value and quality of life,” he said.

Palm River is the first subdivision introduced under the company’s latest development strategy. The project will offer a range of apartment types, from units of approximately 35 square meters to larger residences exceeding 300 square meters. The developer expects the project to be launched to the market in 2026.

The subdivision is located along the riverfront and incorporates design elements inspired by the surrounding landscape. According to the developer, the project emphasizes natural light, ventilation and access to outdoor views.

Amenities planned for Palm River include recreational and wellness facilities centered around water features and open spaces.

The project team includes a number of domestic and international consultants, including Singapore-based architectural firm DPA, Australian interior design company Dark Horse, Brazilian landscape consultant LJ-Group, green building advisor Ardor Green and project management firm Core.

According to the developer, the design approach seeks to combine international expertise with local market preferences, with a focus on green spaces, community facilities and residential amenities.

Several earlier phases of Palm City have already been completed, including Palm Residence, Palm Heights, educational facilities and public parks. These components have contributed to the development of an existing residential community within the township.

Huong Viet Properties strengthens integrated real estate vision

Posted on by adminPalmCity

Real estate developer Huong Viet Properties is building a sustainable growth platform combining development expertise, operational excellence, and long-term value. Nguyen Si Toan, managing director of High-rise Real Estate Business Division, spoke with VIR’s Bich Ngoc about the company’s strategies and competitive advantages.

What do you see as the key drivers shaping Vietnam’s high-rise residential market in the years ahead?

Looking at the broader picture, Vietnam’s high-rise residential market, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City, is entering a new growth cycle driven by three fundamental factors: infrastructure development, constantly changing homebuyer preferences, and theconsolidation of property developers.

Between 2026 and 2030, we will see a series of major infrastructure projects becoming operational on completion, including the An Phu Interchange, metro lines, ring roads, and transport links to Long Thanh International Airport. History has consistently shownthat infrastructure serves as a powerful driver for influencingproperty values and redefining market dynamics.

At the same time, homebuyers are increasingly shifting their preferencetowards real value as the era of purely speculative investment is fading. Today’s buyers make purchasing decisions based on the overall living experience, including legal transparency, the quality of the living environment, and integrated amenities.

Finally, the market is undergoing natural consolidation among developers. Those with strong financial capabilities and proven execution capacity will emerge as market leaders. More importantly, buyer confidence, which has been eroded in recent years, will gradually be restored by developers that consistently deliver on their commitments.

Could you elaborate on Huong Viet Properties’ strategic direction for the high-rise residential segment?

Huong Viet Properties positions itself as an integrated real estate developer with a long-term vision, built on three complementary pillars: residential, commercial, and industrial real estate.

In the high-rise residential segment, our strategy is not to pursue scale, but rather to focus on selective, value-driven development. We remain committed to acquiring clean land in locations that combine three key advantages: proximity to the city centre, waterfront settings, and major transport corridors.

Our developments are positioned within the premium segment and distinguished by their unique characteristics. Rather than targeting the mass market, we focus on discerning homebuyers who place a high value on quality living, refined aesthetics, and an elevated residential experience.

At the heart of Huong Viet Properties’ philosophy is the creation of enduring value. We aim to deliver projects thatprovide exceptional living environments andoffer sustainable long-term capital appreciation for our customers.

The launch of the Palm River precinct is expected in 2026. What role will it play in the overall development strategy of Palm City as well as Huong Viet Properties’ investment portfolio?

Palm River carries dual strategic significance. Not only does it complete the Palm City township, but it also serves as a strong testament to Huong Viet Properties’ development capabilities and long-term vision.

Within Palm City, Palm River is a pivotal precinct that opens the next chapter in the development of the more than 30-hectare integrated township. Scheduled for launch in 2026, it will immediately benefit from the established community at Palm Heights and Palm Residence, while also capitalising on the steady completion of surrounding infrastructure as planned.

For Huong Viet Properties, Palm River is a clear demonstration of our execution capability and strategic commitment to eastern Ho Chi Minh City. Together with key developments such as The Hallmark, The West, Prodezi, and LA Home, Palm River further strengthens our premium project portfolio and reinforces our ambition to become a trusted new force in Vietnam’s real estate market.

Palm City – Urban Retreat in the City

What are the key changes in Palm City’s repositioning and upgrading strategy to enhance value for the market?

The most fundamental transformation of Palm City under Huong Viet Properties’ stewardship is its evolution into an “Urban Retreat in the City”, a resort-inspired urban community at the heart of Ho Chi Minh City.

Rather than maximising saleable space, we have redefined the master plan to create a more balanced living environment by integrating waterways, green spaces, and open public areas into residents’ daily lives. A comprehensive ecosystem of amenities, including an international school, healthcare facilities, retail and commercial spaces, and notably, a nearly three-kilometre riverside park, and world-class amenities. Ultimately, these projects are distinguished by their inherent scarcity.

Our vision is to create a destination where residents can enjoy the tranquillity and lifestyle of a premium resort while remaining in the heart of southern Vietnam’s most dynamic economic centre.

How do you see homebuyer demand evolving in the high-rise residential segment, and how will Huong Viet Properties adapt to meet these changing preferences?

From a high-rise residential developer perspective, I have observed an obvious shift in buyer preferences. Today’s homebuyers are no longer persuaded solely by location or price, but they are looking for a living environment and an integrated lifestyle ecosystem. They are increasingly willing to pay a premium for projects that offer lower residential density development, river views, and world-class amenities. Ultimately, these projects are distinguished by their inherent scarcity..

Therefore, Palm River has been conceived around three core principles from the very beginning: low-density planning, product diversity, and a premium living experience.

We have maintained a residential building footprint of only around 21 per cent, allowing most of the site to be dedicated to landscaping, amenities, and unobstructed views. The project offers a diverse range of residences, from compact units of just over 33 sq.m to penthouses and sky villas exceeding 300 sq.m, catering to everyone from young professionals to multi-generational families.

Most importantly, every unit has been designed to maximise views of the Giong Ong To River while offering an exclusive collection of resort-inspired amenities, including a Sky Onsen, Cold Plunge pools, an infinity pool, a 70-metre lap pool, and hydrotherapy pools. Together, these features create a daily holistic wellness experience that allows residents to rejuvenate without leaving home, an increasingly important expectation among today’s affluent homebuyers.
