Why Choose The Metropole Thu Thiem
The Metropole Thu Thiem is widely regarded as one of Thu Thiem’s flagship addresses, combining central-business-district positioning with premium finishes across all four phases. With handover complete on every phase, buyers and tenants can inspect finished units rather than relying on off-plan projections.
- Zone 1 location, at the centre of Thu Thiem’s planned central business district.
- All four phases (Galleria, Crystal, Opera, Stella) fully delivered and occupied.
- Premium finish level consistent with Sonkim Land’s positioning in the market.
- Opera block has reached around 92% occupancy, reflecting strong rental demand.
Location and Connectivity
The Metropole Thu Thiem sits inside Zone 1 of the Thu Thiem New Urban Area, directly across the Saigon River from District 1. As new bridges and the metro extension progress, the commute into the existing CBD continues to shorten:
- Across the river from District 1’s central business district
- Short drive to Ben Thanh Market and Nguyen Hue Pedestrian Street via Thu Thiem bridges
- Close to planned Thu Thiem riverside parks and public promenades
- Convenient access to District 2’s established Thao Dien and An Phu neighbourhoods
Neighborhood and Lifestyle
Thu Thiem overall recorded the strongest rental growth of any Ho Chi Minh City submarket in the first half of 2026, up about 9.1% year-over-year, driven in large part by Metropole and Empire City reaching full lease-up. Residents at The Metropole tend to be a mix of corporate tenants relocated by multinational employers and local professionals working in the emerging Thu Thiem financial district, drawn by the combination of new-build quality and a short commute to District 1 via the new bridges.
Pricing and Availability
As of 2026, apartments at The Metropole Thu Thiem sell from roughly 6,500 to 7,500 USD per square metre, reflecting its premium positioning within Thu Thiem. On the rental side, two-bedroom units have a median asking rent of about 1,700 to 2,600 USD per month, with the Opera block running at close to full occupancy.
| Metric | 2026 Reference |
|---|---|
| Sale price | ~6,500–7,500 USD/m² |
| 2-bedroom rent (median) | ~1,700–2,600 USD/month |
| Opera block occupancy | ~92% |
| Thu Thiem submarket rent growth (H1 2026 YoY) | ~9.1% |
Pricing varies by phase and tower — Galleria and Crystal launched earliest and tend to trade at a discount to the later Opera and Stella phases. Apartment.vn confirms the specific phase, floor and view before quoting a final price, and can point out which stacks face the river versus the more built-up neighbouring towers.
Amenities and Facilities
- Swimming pools and fitness centres across the phases
- Landscaped grounds and podium gardens
- Retail and F&B space at ground level
- 24/7 security and covered parking
- Proximity to planned Thu Thiem riverside parks
- On-site property management across all four phases
Each phase has its own dedicated pool and fitness facilities rather than sharing a single set of amenities across all 1,500 units, which in practice means less crowding at peak times compared to some larger single-tower developments elsewhere in the city.
Who The Metropole Thu Thiem Suits Best
The Metropole suits tenants and buyers who want new-build quality and a central Thu Thiem address, including relocating professionals whose employers have moved offices into the new business district, and investors seeking exposure to Thu Thiem’s fastest-growing rental submarket.
Buying or Renting at The Metropole Thu Thiem Through Apartment.vn
With all four phases now handed over, most transactions are resale or existing-tenant rentals rather than off-plan reservations. Apartment.vn verifies ownership and current condition before publishing any listing, and our consultants track which phase and floor each unit sits on, since pricing and outlook can shift considerably even within the same tower:
- Share your budget, preferred phase (Galleria, Crystal, Opera or Stella) and unit size.
- We shortlist verified units currently available, with real photos and confirmed pricing.
- Viewings are arranged directly with the current owner, tenant or their agent.
- For purchases, we check Pink Book status and any outstanding fees before you commit a deposit.
- For rentals, we review the lease term, deposit and included furniture before you sign.
The Metropole vs. Empire City Thu Thiem
The Metropole and Empire City are Thu Thiem’s two most established premium addresses and are frequently compared. The Metropole is fully delivered across all four phases, giving buyers a complete and inspectable product today. Empire City’s residential towers (Linden, Tilia and Cove Residences) are also completed and handed over, but its flagship 88-storey Empire 88 Tower has not yet begun construction as of 2026, with obstacles still being resolved. Buyers wanting full certainty today often favour The Metropole, while those speculating on the eventual completion of Empire City’s landmark tower may look at Empire City instead.
Investment Outlook
The Metropole’s combination of full delivery, premium positioning and Thu Thiem’s leading rent growth in 2026 makes it one of the stronger rental-yield stories in the submarket right now, though entry prices are also among the highest in Thu Thiem. Investors should weigh the higher purchase price against the reduced construction and delivery risk of buying a fully completed, already-occupied building. For investors specifically chasing yield rather than long-term appreciation, the Opera block’s near-full occupancy is a useful signal of sustained tenant demand at this specific address, rather than a market-wide assumption applied uniformly across all of Thu Thiem.

Why has Thu Thiem rent grown so quickly in 2026?
Thu Thiem posted the highest rent growth of any Ho Chi Minh City submarket in the first half of 2026, at around 9.1% year-over-year, largely driven by The Metropole and Empire City reaching full lease-up as new office tenants relocate into the area.
As Thu Thiem’s business district continues to take shape, The Metropole’s early-mover advantage and full delivery status keep it in strong demand among both relocating tenants and investors. Few other addresses in the area can currently offer the same combination of finished product, established management and a multi-year occupancy track record across four distinct phases.
