Neighborhood & 2026 Expat Positioning
Situated at 190 Nguyễn Văn Hưởng Street at the tranquil northern apex of the Thảo Điền peninsula in Thu Duc City (former District 2), Xi Riverview Palace is one of Ho Chi Minh City’s most exclusive low-density riverfront residential compounds. Developed by premier South Korean industrial conglomerate GS E&C (GS Engineering & Construction), the project occupies 1.9 hectares directly along the sweeping waterfront bend of the Saigon River.

In 2026, Thảo Điền preserves its distinguished standing as Saigon’s premier international enclave. The commercial maturity of Metro Line 1 (Bến Thành – Suối Tiên) with accessible stations at Thảo Điền and An Phú, combined with municipal revetment construction and drainage upgrades along upper Nguyễn Văn Hưởng, delivers smooth connectivity into District 1 while safeguarding the relaxed, leafy character of the upper peninsula.
Xi Riverview Palace stands apart from newer high-density towers due to its uncompromising construction standards, generous floorplates, and permanent frontline waterfront positioning. Overlooking the natural green reserve of the Thanh Đa peninsula across the river, the views from Xi Riverview Palace are permanently protected against future high-rise developments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes the 185 sqm layout at Xi Riverview Palace unique compared to newer Thao Dien condos?
Xi Riverview Palace stands apart from newer developments primarily due to its sheer spatial generosity and exceptionally low building density. While newer towers often build 8 to 12 compact units per floor, Xi Riverview Palace features only 4 units per floor across just 270 residences in the entire 1.9-hectare compound. Every 3-bedroom residence spans a net usable 185 sqm with 3.1-meter ceiling heights, three-sided natural airflow, a dual Western island kitchen and enclosed Asian wet kitchen, and permanent, frontline Saigon River views that can never be blocked by future construction.
How does the Korean Xi Home Automation and smart security system work for expat residents?
Xi Riverview Palace is equipped with GS E&C’s proprietary Xi Home Network smart automation platform. A wall-mounted master color touchscreen console in the living gallery allows residents to control centralized ducted VRV air conditioning zones, motorized curtain tracks, lighting scenes, and automatic gas shutoff valves. The system integrates directly with the digital video intercom, enabling residents to view and grant access to lobby visitors, call elevators to their floor, and monitor CCTV security around the compound.
Is Nguyen Van Huong street prone to tidal flooding near Xi Riverview Palace in 2026?
The upper stretch of Nguyễn Văn Hưởng where Xi Riverview Palace is located (around number 190) sits on higher natural ground compared to the low-lying middle section of Thảo Điền. Following extensive municipal revetment construction, road raising, and upgraded tidal sluice gates completed along the river embankment, access to Xi Riverview Palace remains fully passable during monsoon storms and high tides. For detailed neighborhood elevation data, consult our Thảo Điền Flooding Map & Elevation Guide.
How does living at Xi Riverview Palace benefit families with children attending BIS HCMC?
Living at Xi Riverview Palace offers the ultimate convenience for families enrolled at the British International School (BIS HCMC). The Secondary and Junior campuses are located just 400 to 800 meters down Nguyễn Văn Hưởng street—a pleasant 5-minute walk or 2-minute bicycle ride along tree-lined sidewalks. This proximity eliminates the need for school buses or stressful morning traffic commutes, giving children extra sleep and allowing parents to effortlessly attend school sports matches and parent-teacher events.
