If you are shortlisting luxury apartments in Binh Thanh, you are in good company. Binh Thanh has quietly become the main luxury apartment area just outside District 1. It has the city’s tallest tower, a long stretch of Saigon River frontage and several of the best-known high-end projects, all within about 15 minutes of the centre. Below are the luxury apartments in Binh Thanh district we recommend most often in 2026, what each does best, and how to choose between them.

City Garden: the garden choice
City Garden is the luxury option for people who value space and quiet over a skyline address. Its six curved towers stand on a 2.29 ha site with only 23% building density, so most of the land is lawns, gardens and two pools, including a 50 m one; its tallest tower, Promenade, rises about 113 m. The location on Ngo Tat To is about 10 minutes from District 1 and away from the main roads.
Units range from one-bedroom Soho apartments of around 60–73 m² to Metropolitan three-bedrooms of up to 160 m² and penthouses over 250 m². In late 2026, resale prices run from about VND 7.4 billion to VND 19 billion, and furnished rents from VND 18 million to VND 70 million a month. See City Garden apartments for sale.
Vinhomes Central Park: the city within a city
Vinhomes Central Park has the most amenities in Binh Thanh: a riverside park, schools, a hospital, a mall and Landmark 81 itself. It suits buyers and tenants who want everything in one place. The trade-off is scale. With dozens of towers, it feels busy, and the main access road gets congested. Read our Vinhomes Central Park guide.
Sunwah Pearl and Saigon Pearl: river views
If a river view is the priority, look at the two Pearl projects between Vinhomes and the Saigon Bridge. Sunwah Pearl is the newer of the two, with modern layouts. Saigon Pearl is older but has large apartments and mature grounds. Both are covered in our riverside living guide.
Pearl Plaza: convenience first
Pearl Plaza sits right on Dien Bien Phu with a shopping centre below. It is one of the closest of these buildings to District 1, but it has far less outdoor space than City Garden or Vinhomes.
