Metro Star: A Landmark Luxury Apartment Project Directly Connected to Metro Line No. 10 in District 9
Metro Star project, also known as I-Home Xa Lo Ha Noi, is a prominent condominium development in District 9 (now Thu Duc City), Ho Chi Minh City. This is not just an ordinary residential complex but the result of a strategic partnership between CT Group (Vietnam) and Soilbuild Group (Singapore). The project is inspired by modern, luxurious Singaporean architecture, promising an iconic development with outstanding investment value and a vibrant, civilized residential community.
Metro Star offers 1,600 apartments designed according to LEED green building standards, aiming to create a sustainable ecosystem in the heart of the city. With a total area of 1.83 hectares and a construction density of 55%, a significant portion of the project is dedicated to green space and amenities. The legal status is long-term ownership, ensuring sustainable rights for residents.
Prime Location – Multi-Dimensional Connectivity of Metro Star
Location is one of the biggest highlights creating the value of Metro Star. The project is located at 360 Xa Lo Ha Noi Street, Phuoc Long A Ward, District 9, Ho Chi Minh City – a key arterial road and the eastern gateway of the city.
Direct Connection to Metro Line No. 1
Metro Star is the first and only project featuring a pedestrian bridge directly connecting from the 2nd floor of its commercial center across Xa Lo Ha Noi to Metro Station No. 10 (Binh Thai Station) of Metro Line No. 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien line). This direct connection offers outstanding mobility advantages:
From Metro Station No. 10, residents can reach District 1 in just about 10 minutes. Globally, properties located near operational metro lines often increase in value by 20–30%, highlighting the strong long-term appreciation potential of Metro Star.
Convenient Regional Connectivity
Metro Star apartments in District 9 allow residents to reach major areas within 15 minutes, including District 1 and District 2 (now part of Thu Duc City). Specifically:
- To District 1 and Thu Thiem Tunnel via Xa Lo Ha Noi and Mai Chi Tho Street.
- To Binh Thanh District via Xa Lo Ha Noi.
- To District 7 and Phu My Hung via Vo Chi Cong Street, Phu My Bridge, and Ring Road 2.
- To Bien Hoa and Vung Tau via Xa Lo Ha Noi and Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway.
- Only 3 km from the Saigon Hi-Tech Park (SHTP), ideal for professionals working there.
Rich Surrounding Amenities
Located in a densely populated area, Metro Star enjoys a fully developed external utility system serving all daily needs:
- Hospitals and schools at all levels.
- Major shopping centers such as Coop Mart, Vincom Thu Duc, Vincom Thao Dien, and Metro supermarket.
- Near Suoi Tien Tourist Park.
- Close to major urban areas such as Thao Dien Urban Area, Vinhomes Central Park, and Sala Urban Area.
However, one note when choosing an apartment at Metro Star is its location directly on Xa Lo Ha Noi, a major highway. This may result in noise and dust from container trucks. Therefore, buyers should consider units facing the internal courtyard or deeper blocks for a quieter living environment.
Scale and Premium Design
Metro Star consists of 2 towers, providing a total of 1,600 apartments. The design is influenced by Singaporean architecture, emphasizing modernity and luxury.
