Discover the private territory of Vietnam's super-rich in the East of Ho Chi Minh City

The super rich's taste in shelters

The press has spent a lot of ink on the retirement home of famous football player Cristiano Ronaldo: paved with Italian marble, plated with solid gold, using a smart heating system and exclusive wall paintings, located in the charming nature of the Cascais coast but only a 30-minute drive from the bustling capital Lisbon. However, the 21 million euro property with a "near-city - near-water" location is not the Portuguese striker's taste alone but a common trend among the super-rich.

According to statistics from Knight Frank - the leading real estate consultancy in the UK - 27% of the assets of the super-rich are invested in luxurious mansions, 23% in stocks, 17% in bonds, the rest is poured into collections, gold, gemstones, virtual currencies. In Vietnam, although there are no specific statistics, magnificent properties are always attractive to the group of more than 1,000 multi-sector billionaires from the South to the North.

Mr. Minh Phu, a real estate consultant for the super luxury segment, revealed that customers in the group "20% of the population but earn and own 80% of the wealth" have separate criteria when looking for a private residence, but often meet three main requirements: isolation, convenient connection to the center, and exclusive living standards within the area. In Ho Chi Minh City, the house that attracts their attention needs to ensure privacy like a peaceful "oasis", but only takes no more than 30 minutes to get to District 1. And if the middle class buying a house needs a parking space, the super rich will need a marina. Therefore, not only "near the city" but "near the water" is also a key criterion.

Mansions with private yacht docks always attract the world's super rich.

With such requirements, not many products today can satisfy. "Rare, but not impossible," said Mr. Phu, referring to a rare villa complex that meets all the above factors, located in the "water enveloping" position of the East of Ho Chi Minh City, with only 121 units, branded Elie Saab, which has made the media curious since 2022.

The Rivus - a resort-standard isolated oasis, connecting multiple layers of amenities

It is no coincidence that a leading brand like Elie Saab chose The Rivus to have its logo placed on the gate of each of its 500 villas worldwide.

As the first luxury villa complex on a floating island in Asia, guaranteed by the name Elie Sabb, The Rivus' greatest attraction lies in its multi-level utility connection location.

The first floor is created by a network of closely linked key transport infrastructure in the East. From The Rivus, it only takes 30 minutes to travel to the center of Ho Chi Minh City, located on the main road leading to Long Thanh airport, Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay highway, Ring Road 3... gateways that not only move quickly to all points in and out of the city but also easily connect to the world.

The second utility floor of The Rivus is based on the utility system of satellite cities, including the adjacent Vinhomes Grand Park and the new center The Global City 20 minutes away. Accordingly, going to Vincom Mega Mall to shop for luxury goods, getting a 5-star medical examination at Vinmec or having fun at the amusement park, enjoying the largest water music show in Southeast Asia... are all within the experience of the owner of the mansion.

Finally, the third floor is a resort-standard utility system within the complex. Located separately with 4 sides facing the river, The Rivus owns the first internal marina in Vietnam that identifies each owner, with a lift system for yachts to enter and exit, ensuring absolute privacy and safety.

On the project site with a total area of ​​26.73 hectares, the investor Masterise Homes controls the construction density of only 15%, dedicating up to 85% to arranging the utility ecosystem. The swimming pool with a resort-standard bar for relaxing afternoons, the clubhouse connecting the elite community, the outdoor cinema, the riverside walking path... are the amenities designed specifically to pamper the senses of the homeowners. In particular, the 4 Six Sense parks of nearly 10 hectares are a rare green highlight in the middle of Saigon.

The emergence of an international-class project like The Rivus shows that the Vietnamese super-rich are ready for the big game. Not luxury or super luxury, The Rivus has established a completely new standard of villa living in Vietnam, which has not been implemented by any existing project. A real estate masterpiece with a rare marina, limited quantity and multi-layered luxury amenities makes The Rivus attract competition from both the super-rich and domestic and international investors.
