Positioned along Bát Nàn, Tạ Hiện, and Nguyễn Văn Kỉnh streets in the tranquil riverfront district of Thạnh Mỹ Lợi Ward (Thu Đức City / former District 2), One Verandah represents Singaporean master-developer Mapletree’s premier residential development in East Saigon. Occupying an enviable frontline position directly facing the Saigon River, One Verandah commands unobstructed, permanent panoramas of the water, lush green conservation reserves, and the dramatic sunset skyline of District 1. For comprehensive regional context, explore our Thủ Đức City Expat Housing & Relocation Guide 2026 and the Thủ Đức City Master Plan 2026: Expat Housing & Metro Guide.
In 2026, Thạnh Mỹ Lợi has matured into Ho Chi Minh City’s premier low-density executive enclave. The completion and full operational maturity of the Thời Đại Bridge (Diamond Island Bridge / Cầu Thời Đại) provides residents with a seamless, scenic riverfront drive directly onto Mai Chí Thọ Boulevard, enabling a rapid 10- to 12-minute commute into the District 1 central business district via the Thu Thiem Tunnel or Ba Son Bridge. Furthermore, the completed Vành Đai 2 (Ring Road 2) freight corridor and upgraded Mỹ Thủy Interchange have permanently diverted commercial logistics traffic away from Thạnh Mỹ Lợi’s tree-lined avenues, ensuring calm, clean, and whisper-quiet residential streets.
The microclimate along One Verandah’s riverfront is widely recognized as one of the coolest and freshest in the metropolitan area. The wide, sweeping bend of the Saigon River channels constant cooling southeasterly breezes across the development, reducing ambient daytime temperatures by 2°C compared to dense urban centers. Wide boulevards with buried utility cabling, extensive green parks, and high-capacity stormwater drainage systems ensure the entire ward remains completely flood-free year-round.

One Verandah’s amenity deck is elevated on the 3rd-floor podium and spans an immense 8,000 square meters of continuous open recreational space. Unlike many developments where facilities are fragmented across rooftops or ground levels with traffic, One Verandah consolidates a 50m Olympic infinity pool, recreational lagoon, regulation tennis court, jogging track, and shaded family gardens into a completely pedestrianized, secure resort deck with unobstructed Saigon River views.
One Verandah was constructed on an elevated structural podium in the master-planned Thạnh Mỹ Lợi district. The development is situated high above the 100-year historical tidal surge line of the Saigon River, and the surrounding road network (Bát Nàn, Tạ Hiện, Nguyễn Văn Kỉnh) is supported by modern subterranean storm drainage channels, ensuring the property and access roads remain completely dry during monsoon downpours.
Yes, One Verandah is a pet-friendly residential community. Domestic cats and dogs are permitted with registration at the Savills building management office. Pets must be leashed in outdoor ground-level gardens and transported using the designated service elevators.
Residents have several convenient grocery options within a 2- to 5-minute radius. Tops Market and Kingfoodmart at Feliz en Vista, as well as Faifo Lane at Vista Verde, are just 2 minutes away. Additionally, Annam Gourmet Market and Mega Market An Phú are an easy 6-minute drive along Song Hành.
