Linden Residences - Empire City

general introduction

Linden Residences is the first luxury residential collection developed within the landmark Empire City township. The project showcases a distinctive architectural design inspired by the breathtaking beauty of Ha Long Bay and the graceful form of the Vietnamese bamboo, creating elegant, flowing lines that seamlessly blend contemporary sophistication with local cultural identity. In addition to its unique design language, Linden Residences is highly regarded for its prime waterfront setting, offering spectacular views of the Saigon River and the iconic District 1 skyline. This exceptional combination of architecture, location, and scenery delivers an elevated living experience, placing residents at the heart of Thu Thiem’s most prestigious urban destination.

INTRODUCTION TO LINDEN RESIDENCE (MU4) WITHIN THE EMPIRE CITY MASTER DEVELOPMENT

Linden Residence is the first residential precinct to be developed within Empire City and carries the planning code MU4 in the project’s 14.5-hectare master plan.

The development comprises four towers, including T1A, T1B, T2A and T2B. Their heights range from 7 to 34 storeys, providing approximately 510 luxury apartments to the market.

Positioned near the Saigon River and the central core of Thu Thiem, Linden Residence is conceived as a tropical resort-inspired enclave.

It offers a calm and private residential environment while maintaining seamless access to the dynamic rhythm of the city.

WHO IS THE DEVELOPER OF EMPIRE CITY? INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT’S REPUTABLE PARTNERS

The appeal of a luxury real estate development is shaped not only by its location or design, but also by the credibility of the organisations behind it.

Who, therefore, are the distinguished names responsible for the success of Empire City in general and Linden Residence in particular?

THE JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN KEPPEL LAND, GAW CAPITAL PARTNERS AND VIETN AMESE PARTNERS

Empire City is the result of a partnership between leading organisations in the regional and international real estate industry.

This well-established joint venture brings together extensive experience and considerable financial capability:

• Keppel Land, Singapore: One of Asia’s leading real estate developers, recognised for high-quality landmark projects such as The Estella and Saigon Centre in Vietnam.
• Gaw Capital Partners, Hong Kong: A globally respected private equity firm specialising in the management of major real estate assets, providing strong financial support for the development.
• Vietnamese partners, including Tien Phuoc Real Estate Company and Tran Thai Real Estate Company Limited: Two organisations with extensive knowledge of the domestic market, playing an important role in project implementation and legal procedures.

This partnership creates a strong three-part foundation, providing a valuable assurance of construction quality, delivery progress and the long-term value associated with the Empire City developer.

PROJECT DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PARTNERS

A landmark development cannot be created without leading international partners in architecture, construction and property management:

• Architectural design: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, or KPF from the United States, the firm behind numerous iconic developments around the world.
• Construction: Coteccons, one of Vietnam’s most reputable general contractors, responsible for maintaining construction quality and project progress.
• Property management: Savills or an equivalent international operator, delivering professional five-star management services and maintaining an exceptional residential environment for residents.

LOCATION

Linden Residences is located at Lot 2-14 (MU4) within the Empire City mixed-use urban development in the Thu Thiem New Urban Area. Situated along the Saigon River, it offers a prime waterfront location with direct connectivity to the heart of District 1, reachable within just a few minutes via the Thu Thiem Tunnel.

THE EXACT ADDRESS WITHIN THE CORE OF THU THIEM NEW URBAN AREA

Linden Residence is located on Lot 2B within Empire City, along Mai Chi Tho Boulevard and beside the Saigon River in Thu Thiem Ward, Thu Duc City, formerly District 2.

The development stands at the centre of Thu Thiem New Urban Area, often compared with Shanghai’s Pudong district.

Thu Thiem is being developed as a new financial, commercial and service centre for Ho Chi Minh City and the wider region.

EXCEPTIONAL CONNECTIVITY TO THE CITY CENTRE AND SURROUNDING DISTRICTS

From Linden Residence, travelling to the city’s principal districts becomes remarkably convenient and efficient:

• Only 5 minutes by car through the Thu Thiem Tunnel or across Thu Thiem Bridge 2 to reach central District 1.
• Approximately 10–15 minutes to District 4, District 7 and Phu My Hung Urban Area.
• Convenient access to high-tech parks and eastern provinces via the Long Thanh–Dau Giay Expressway.
• Direct connectivity with future metro lines, introducing a new era of modern urban mobility.

APPRECIATION POTENTIAL FROM A STRATEGIC SAIGON RIVER LOCATION

Riverside property has always possessed a distinctive value, and Linden Residence benefits fully from this advantage.

Its proximity to the river provides valuable views, fresher air and a location traditionally associated with prosperity.

As Thu Thiem’s infrastructure is completed with new bridges, a convention centre and an opera house, property values in the district are expected to continue rising.

Pioneering developments such as Linden Residence are particularly well positioned to benefit from this long-term transformation.
