Song Da Riverside: A Premium Apartment Complex and 5-Star Riverside Urban Area in Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City
The Song Da Riverside Apartment Complex, located in a prime position along the Saigon River (former Thu Duc District, now Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City), is one of the strategic developments of Songda IDC (Song Da Investment Development Joint Stock Company). With a total investment capital of over VND 1,500 billion, the project is master-planned to become a 5-star residential community that fully meets the living, entertainment, and business needs of residents.
Song Da Riverside is not merely a luxury apartment complex, but a multifunctional development including office spaces for lease, a shopping center, school, park, marina, and swimming pool. The project is designed to integrate with urban growth while creating a high-quality living environment with poetic landscapes and close harmony with nature.
General Information About Song Da Riverside Project

The detailed planning demonstrates a strong emphasis on green space and public amenities.
Construction Scale and Density
Song Da Riverside has a construction footprint of 5,802m2, representing a very low density of only 20.6% of the total land area. The standout feature is the land reserved for greenery and water surfaces, totaling 7,980.7m2, ensuring an airy and refreshing living environment surrounded by nature.
Detailed land use structure:
- Planning-compliant land area: 24,644m2
- Construction land area: 5,802m2
- Green space area: 3,400m2
- Water surface area: 3,591.1m2
- Internal roads and yards: 11,848.9m2
Project Composition
The project includes 05 apartment towers (blocks) rising 25 floors (excluding ground floor, mezzanine, and rooftop) with 02 interconnected basement levels for parking. The total gross floor area is 172,643m2. A total of 1,172 apartments are planned, expected to accommodate around 3,000 residents.
- Total apartments: 1,172 units
- Residential floor area: 94,829m2
- Commercial and service area: 8,417m2
- Total basement floor area (sunken and semi-basement): 32,199m2
Strategic Location and Transportation Connectivity
Song Da Riverside is located at 623 National Highway 13, Hiep Binh Phuoc Ward, former Thu Duc District (now Thu Duc City), Ho Chi Minh City. This strategic location offers dual advantages in both road and waterway transportation.
Location Advantages
- Northwest side: Adjacent to the Saigon River, offering open views and scenic waterfront landscapes.
- Southeast side: Fronting National Highway 13, a key arterial route connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Binh Duong.
- Southwest and Northeast sides: Adjacent to existing residential communities, ensuring convenience in daily living.
This location lies on the National Highway 13 corridor, connecting two major economic zones of Southern Vietnam: Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City. With two water-facing sides (Saigon River and Lo Duong Canal), the project enjoys fresh air and cool breezes. In particular, the surrounding low-rise villas and green landscapes secure permanent panoramic views in all directions for the apartment towers.
Song Da Riverside offers excellent accessibility not only by road but also by waterway, connecting the Southeast region and the Mekong Delta, creating strong appreciation potential and flexible mobility for residents.
Unique and Impressive Architectural Design
The master planning of Song Da Riverside is inspired by natural forms, creating a harmonious and distinctive overall concept. The project consists of 5 towers of 25 floors, designed like five apricot blossom petals radiating outward, with a large central square at the core.
Viewed from above, the entire development resembles a giant apricot flower reflected on the poetic Saigon River, creating a peaceful and romantic landscape.

In addition, each tower has its own public service and commercial podium:
- An Vui Tower 1: 6 floors for retail and offices.
- An Vui Towers 2, 4, 5: Entire ground floors dedicated to shopping centers.
- An Vui Tower 3: Ground floor with 1,252m2 allocated for kindergarten and preschool facilities.
5-Star Internal Amenities
Song Da Riverside is master-planned with a full range of public welfare facilities, delivering a highly convenient and relaxing lifestyle for residents.
Amenity Layout
The entire rooftop podium area is arranged as a spacious outdoor amenity zone, including:
- Internal parks and green spaces.
- Children's playground.
- Walking paths for exercise and relaxation.
- Flower gardens and landscaped water features surrounding the towers.
Marina and Ecological Lake
One of the most distinctive highlights reflecting the developer’s long-term vision is the water transportation and landscape water system. The existing Lo Duong Canal will be renovated and realigned into a scenic waterway and ecological lake.
This lake will directly connect to the marina on the Saigon River. The marina will not only serve transportation needs for the project but also act as a departure point for river tourism along the Saigon River. According to waterway plans, residents may travel from here to Vung Tau and Mekong Delta provinces, opening a unique multidirectional connectivity advantage.
Selling Price and Investment Potential
With its “golden land” location along the Saigon River, synchronized planning, comprehensive amenities, and low construction density, Song Da Riverside offers premium living value and strong long-term investment potential.
The recorded apartment selling price at the project was VND 14 million/m² (at the survey period). This was considered a competitive price for a premium 5-star riverside apartment complex at the gateway of Ho Chi Minh City, especially as Thu Duc continues to experience rapid infrastructure development, creating strong appeal for investors and owner-occupiers.
Song Da Riverside not only provides an ideal residence but also represents a smart investment opportunity, leveraging its strategic position on National Highway 13 and unique waterway connectivity with promising future appreciation potential.
