The Westique Residences

The Westique Residences is a boutique apartment project at 289 Kinh Duong Vuong, An Lac Ward (former Binh Tan District), on the western gateway of Ho Chi Minh City. Developed by Viet Capital Real Estate (VCRE), it has only 99 apartments – a deliberately small number in a part of the city better known for large, dense developments. Construction began on 29 July 2026 with Wealthcons as general contractor, and the project targets owner-occupiers who want a well-designed home rather than a long list of amenities.

Quick facts

A boutique project in the west

The west of Ho Chi Minh City – Binh Tan, District 6 and the approach to the Mekong Delta – has a huge population but relatively few well-designed premium apartments. Most new supply here has been large-scale and mid-market. The Westique takes the opposite approach: a single, small project with 99 homes, aimed at families who want quality and privacy close to their work and family networks in the west.

The developer describes its approach as “lean but complete”: the lobby, corridors, apartments and shared areas are designed for daily living, health, relaxation and community, rather than for headline amenities residents rarely use.

Location: Kinh Duong Vuong, the western gateway

Kinh Duong Vuong is one of the main arteries of the west, connecting the city centre through District 5 and District 6 with the Mien Tay bus station, National Highway 1 and the routes to the Mekong Delta provinces. For residents, that means:

• Direct road access to District 5, District 6 and Cho Lon’s commercial areas
• Quick links to National Highway 1, Vo Van Kiet Avenue and the Trung Luong expressway towards the Mekong Delta
• Nearby shopping centres including AEON Mall Binh Tan, plus local markets, hospitals and schools
• The planned Metro Line No. 3A, which is set to run along this corridor towards the Mien Tay bus station

Like every major artery, Kinh Duong Vuong is busy at peak hours. Ask which side of the building your apartment faces if you are sensitive to traffic noise.

Design and specification

VCRE has assembled a focused team: US-based AI Planetworks as design consultant, Wealthcons as general contractor, and Häfele and An Cuong for fittings and built-in materials. In the showroom apartment, the emphasis is on practical layouts – a well-proportioned living room, a functional kitchen, real storage and comfortable bedrooms – rather than oversized spaces that are hard to furnish.

Amenities

The project does not try to compete with large townships on the number of facilities. Instead, it offers shared spaces for daily living, wellbeing, relaxation and community, sized for 99 households. For many buyers this means lower management fees, less crowding and a quieter building – the practical benefits of a boutique project.

Who is behind it

VCRE is the real estate arm associated with the Viet Capital ecosystem. The Westique is positioned as part of its strategy to develop smaller, carefully finished residential projects in established neighbourhoods. Wealthcons, the contractor, has experience with residential and commercial buildings in the south.

Prices

No official price list was published in the media at the time of writing. Reference prices on major listing portals in Q3 2026 indicated around VND 95 million per m², which places it at the top of the market in the west – consistent with its boutique, high-spec positioning. Contact the sales gallery for the current price list and payment schedule.

Who is it for?

• Families from the west who want to upgrade without moving away from relatives, schools and businesses
• Business owners in Cho Lon, Binh Tan and District 6 who want a premium home near their work
• Buyers who prefer a small, quiet building over a large township

Buyer checklist

• Request the documents confirming eligibility to sell future homes and any bank guarantee.
• Ask for the handover date and the handover standard in writing.
• Review the floor plan and orientation of the specific unit – with only 99 homes, each one is different.
• Check the expected management fee, parking spaces per unit and visitor parking.
• Visit at peak hours to experience Kinh Duong Vuong traffic.

If you want a larger community with more facilities, compare it with Vinhomes Saigon Park in the north-west or the established projects in the city centre such as Vinhomes Central Park.

Life in An Lac and the west

An Lac sits where the dense inner west meets the newer suburbs. The area has everything a family needs within a few minutes: wet markets, supermarkets, private and public hospitals, schools at every level and a long list of local restaurants – the west is famous for its food. Many residents have lived here for generations, and family and business ties keep people in the area even when they move up the housing ladder.

That is exactly the buyer The Westique is designed for: someone who wants a modern, well-finished apartment without giving up the neighbourhood they know. Compared with moving east to Thu Duc or south to Phu My Hung, staying in the west means shorter trips to family, shops and businesses in Cho Lon and Binh Tan.

Why boutique projects hold their appeal

Small residential buildings are common in mature cities like Singapore, Tokyo and Hong Kong, but still rare in Ho Chi Minh City. Their advantages are practical: fewer neighbours sharing lifts and amenities, management teams that know residents by name, and usually lower service charges than a large complex with dozens of facilities. The flip side is a smaller resale market and fewer on-site amenities, so buyers should be sure the building fits their lifestyle.

Off-plan considerations

With construction starting in mid-2026, The Westique is an off-plan purchase. Keep track of payment milestones, check that each payment is linked to a construction stage, and visit the site regularly. Ask the developer for a written handover timeline and the penalties for delays.
