Picture1THU THIEM METRO STATION – A SYMBOL OF MODERN TRANSPORTATION IN HO CHI MINH CITY

In its strategy for smart and sustainable urban development, Ho Chi Minh City is gradually improving its key transportation infrastructure, especially the Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien Metro Line 1. The Thu Thiem Metro Station is considered one of the most important connecting points in the East of the city, opening up tremendous development potential for the entire Thu Thiem – An Phu – Thao Dien area.

Located at the gateway to Ho Chi Minh City, at the starting point of the Ho Chi Minh – Long Thanh – Dau Giay Expressway, Thu Thiem Metro Station is also the terminus of the North-South High-Speed ​​Railway, the Thu Thiem – Long Thanh Railway Line 2B, and the Ben Thanh – Thu Thiem Metro Line. Thu Thiem Metro Station not only serves as a modern transportation hub but is also expected to become a new symbol of a dynamic, civilized, and international lifestyle.

  • Long Thanh International Airport
  • North-South High-Speed ​​Railway Line
  • Thu Duc City High-Tech Park
  • Ho Chi Minh City National University

The presence of the Thu Thiem Metro Station is creating a strong boost for the high-end real estate market in this area, especially for projects located adjacent to the station.

In many developed countries around the world, areas located near metro stations are considered “prime locations” due to their superior connectivity and sustainable real estate value growth.

In Japan, urban areas surrounding Tokyo’s Metro system are always highly developed, possess significant commercial value, and attract a large international population. Areas near stations such as Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Roppongi have become bustling financial, entertainment, and commercial centers.

In South Korea, areas around Seoul’s Metro stations, such as Gangnam and Songdo, are thriving with modern integrated urban models, where residents can easily access shopping malls, offices, and public amenities within minutes.

Similarly in Europe, cities like London, Paris, and Berlin have all observed a trend where properties near train stations consistently have high liquidity and stable rental demand.

TOD Metropolis model

Behind the concept of the Thu Thiem Railway Station Complex is not just the creation of an integrated project complex with a railway station… but a new vision of how people in Ho Chi Minh City will live, connect, and experience the city in the future. To realize that vision, the TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) model will be applied in multiple phases, from a simple transportation infrastructure to a multi-layered integrated urban ecosystem.

The TOD 5.0 ​​model concept
  • From TOD 1.0: where the train station only served as basic transportation infrastructure…
  • To TOD 2.0 and 3.0: where living, working, commercial, and entertainment spaces began to be seamlessly connected, prioritizing the pedestrian experience.
  • TOD 4.0 further expands this model by integrating nature, green spaces, and public spaces, aiming for a more sustainable and experiential city.
  • And with TOD 5.0, a complete integrated urban ecosystem is formed, converging all the values ​​from TOD 1.0 to TOD 4.0, while being elevated by “wow factors” that enhance experience, emotion, and destination appeal. With the TOD 5.0 ​​concept, the Thu Thiem Train Station Complex will become a magnet for the city, strongly attracting people, capital, trade, and economic activities to converge here.
