Waterpoint Nam Long Urban Area: A Pioneering Model City in Long An
The Waterpoint Urban Area project, located in Ben Luc District, Long An Province, is considered the largest and most ambitious project of :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} to date. With an impressive scale of up to 355 hectares, :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} is not only a residential development but also a symbol of the first model urban area in Long An, promising a world-class, standardized living environment.
Nam Long has carefully planned Waterpoint into a green, modern township where residents can fully enjoy a riverside lifestyle. The project not only owns a strategic location but also integrates a complete system of high-class internal amenities serving all needs of living, education, entertainment, and relaxation.
“Dual Trade Gateway” Strategic Location
Waterpoint owns a “golden location” in Ben Luc, Long An, considered to have extremely high development potential. Long An is increasingly affirming its position as one of the 7 key satellite cities of Ho Chi Minh City and a core zone of the economic development region between Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. This position provides Waterpoint with a solid foundation for long-term growth and value appreciation.
In particular, the project is considered a “dual trade gateway,” conveniently connecting Ho Chi Minh City and the southwestern provinces. Waterpoint is located west of National Highway 1A and adjacent to the first exit of the Ho Chi Minh City – Trung Luong Expressway. These are major transportation arteries that significantly reduce travel time:
- Approximately 30 minutes to District 1, Ho Chi Minh City.
- About 30–45 minutes to central Ho Chi Minh City or Phu My Hung (District 7).
- Can travel by waterway via Ben Luc River and Cho Dem River to Bach Dang Wharf (District 1) and Tan Thuan Port (District 7).
- About 29 km from Tan Son Nhat Airport.
- About 24 km from Cho Lon (District 6) and 30 km from Ben Thanh Market.
6 Key Growth Drivers of Waterpoint
Waterpoint in Ben Luc benefits from 6 core growth drivers, ensuring sustainable property value and strong long-term appreciation:
- Gateway between two major national economic regions (Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta).
- Located within the 7 satellite urban areas of the Ho Chi Minh City region.
- Northern Ben Luc gateway – the most developed area in Long An.
- A key inter-regional transport hub connecting multiple provinces.
- Located at a river junction connecting Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta.
- Prime feng shui location: near road (convenient transport), near river (waterfront living), near urban center (amenities access).
