Why Choose The River Thu Thiem
The River Thu Thiem is one of the few developments in Ho Chi Minh City where every unit has a direct river frontage, giving tenants unobstructed skyline views without the density of District 1’s older towers.
- Direct river frontage on every floor, with Landmark 81 and District 1 skyline views.
- Minutes from District 1 via the Thu Thiem bridge and underpass.
- Lower density than older District 1 towers, with more green space per resident.
- Resort-style pools and riverside walkways included as standard amenities.
Location and Connectivity
The River Thu Thiem sits directly on the Saigon River in the Thu Thiem new urban area, connected to District 1 by bridge:
- Short drive to District 1 via Thu Thiem 2 Bridge
- Close to the Thu Thiem underpass connecting to Ton Duc Thang Street
- Riverside promenade directly outside the development
- Near international schools and clinics serving the Thu Thiem area
- Convenient to Saigon Bridge and the future Metro Line 2 corridor
Neighborhood and Lifestyle
Tenants can walk along the landscaped riverside promenade each evening, with river breeze and skyline views replacing the noise of District 1’s traffic. The development sits close to Thu Thiem’s emerging restaurant and cafe scene, while still being a short drive from the established dining and nightlife of District 1 for tenants who want both worlds. Morning routines here often start with a run along the promenade before the heat sets in, and weekends bring a steady stream of residents cycling or walking dogs along the same stretch, giving the development a genuinely residential, low-key feel that is harder to find in the busier towers closer to District 1’s center.
Pricing and Availability
As of 2026, rental rates at The River Thu Thiem reflect its riverfront positioning and remain competitive with comparable towers in District 1 given the direct river views included at no premium.
| Unit Type | Typical Monthly Rent |
|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | from ~900 USD/month |
| 2 bedrooms | from ~1,300 USD/month |
| 3 bedrooms | from ~1,900 USD/month |
| Penthouse | price on request |

The River Thu Thiem vs. District 1 Towers
Compared to established District 1 riverside towers, The River Thu Thiem typically offers a lower price per square meter for a comparable river view, along with newer interiors and less traffic noise, in exchange for a slightly longer commute to the heart of District 1’s nightlife and offices.
Furnished vs. Unfurnished Units
Most units for rent at The River Thu Thiem come fully furnished, including major appliances, air conditioning and basic furniture. Unfurnished units are occasionally available at a discount for tenants planning a longer stay who prefer to furnish according to their own taste.

Lease renewal discussions typically start 30 to 60 days before expiry. Apartment.vn can benchmark current rents for comparable river-view units at renewal time, so tenants know whether their landlord’s proposed rate is in line with the market.
Common Mistakes When Renting at The River Thu Thiem
A common mistake is booking a unit from photos alone without confirming whether the view is a full river frontage or a partial side view, since pricing can differ significantly between the two. Tenants should also confirm which floor the unit is on relative to the promenade and pool level, as lower floors can have partially obstructed views depending on the tower’s design. It is also worth checking, before signing, exactly which management fees and utility caps are included in the quoted rent, since some listings advertise a lower base rent that excludes management fees charged separately by the building operator.
