Palm Marina - A Luxury Riverside Eco Urban Area in Thu Duc City
Palm Marina urban area is a large-scale closed ecological resort real estate project developed on Tam Da Peninsula, Long Truong Ward, Thu Duc City (formerly District 9). This is one of the key projects in the eastern area of Ho Chi Minh City, developed by Novaland Group.
With a total area of 7.4 hectares, Palm Marina not only provides a green and fresh living environment but also offers attractive investment opportunities with high-end product types. Upon completion, the project is expected to launch around 900 units, including townhouses and luxury villas.
Palm Marina is planned to become a high-end resort urban area where residents can enjoy a harmonious lifestyle with nature right in the heart of a vibrant city, with a construction density of only 30%, while most of the area is dedicated to landscaping and amenities.
Prime Location on Tam Da Peninsula
Palm Marina is located in a unique position on Tam Da Peninsula, Long Truong and Truong Thanh wards, District 9 (now Thu Duc City), Ho Chi Minh City. This is considered a "golden" location at the eastern gateway of Ho Chi Minh City. In particular, the project has a rare advantage of being surrounded on three sides by the Soai Rap River, offering a cool, peaceful living environment and wide open views.
The strategic location of Palm Marina is also situated on the frontage of Ring Road 3, a major transportation axis currently under development, promising strong regional connectivity. Although the surrounding area is not yet densely populated and appears far from the city center, its future transportation development potential is significant, especially once Ring Road 3 is completed. The Tan Van – Nhon Trach section (including Nhon Trach Bridge) began construction on September 24, 2022, and is expected to significantly increase activity in the area by the project handover time (end of 2023).
Convenient Transportation Connectivity
Thanks to developing infrastructure, Palm Marina residents can easily access key areas of the city:
- About 30 minutes to District 1 via Ho Chi Minh City – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway and Mai Chi Tho Boulevard.
- 11 km to Thu Thiem Urban Area.
- 16 km to Phu My Hung Urban Area.
- 10 km to District 9 High-Tech Park.
- 12–14 km to Thu Duc Golf Course (36 holes) and Rach Chiec driving range.
