A transit-oriented residence right at the Binh Thai interchange, planned with a pedestrian bridge running directly into Station 10 of Metro Line 1
Metro Star is an apartment-and-shophouse complex on a 1.83 ha site (18,337.5 m2) at 360 Vo Nguyen Giap (Hanoi Highway) in Phuoc Long Ward, Ho Chi Minh City - the area known as Phuoc Long A Ward, District 9 and later Thu Duc City before the administrative reorganisation. The scheme comprises two 30-storey towers over two basement levels, laid out as three-pointed stars, delivering 1,468 one- to three-bedroom apartments and 76 podium shophouses (some press reports cite around 1,500 apartments). Its most distinctive feature is the pedestrian bridge planned to run directly from Level 2 of the retail podium into Binh Thai station - Station 10 on Metro Line 1, Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien. The metro line is already in commercial operation, but the bridge itself was still unfinished as of mid-2026 with no announced completion date, so it should be understood as a future amenity rather than an existing one.
This is also a project whose legal history and construction record deserve a clear-eyed look. Metro Star came to market in 2018 with a commitment to hand over in 2021, but slipped by several years because of procedural obstacles after the Investment Law changed in 2020. In April 2024 the Thu Duc City People's Committee approved an adjustment to the investment policy and approved the investor, clearing the way for the construction permit to be updated. Reports from June 2026 describe the site running three shifts around the clock, concentrating on the superstructure and the fit-out of the apartment tower floors to keep pace with Metro Line 1, with recent launch phases showing a positive shift in absorption. No new official handover date has been announced - buyers should insist that it is written into the contract, together with a penalty clause for late handover.
**On pricing.** The reference range in circulation for the current phase is 85 - 100 million VND per m2 (updated 1 August 2026), which works out at roughly 4.4 billion VND for the smallest 52 m2 unit. The figure of 2.5 billion VND per unit that is still repeated on aggregator sites belongs to the first launch of 2018 - 2019 and no longer reflects the current inventory. In the other direction, secondary-market observations from April 2024 put the range at 40 - 68 million VND per m2, with some transactions below 40 million VND per m2 - a gap that comes mainly from contracts signed in the earlier phase. No official shophouse price list has been released by the developer; the figures circulating through brokerage platforms should be re-confirmed against the developer's own price list before any deposit.
**The developer.** The developer is Cong ty Co phan Dau tu Metro Star (Metro Star Investment Joint Stock Company), a member of C.T Group, a diversified conglomerate founded in Ho Chi Minh City in 1992. The architecture is by AXIS Architects (Singapore), and the project won the award for the best-designed mixed-use development in Vietnam 2022 at the Dot Property Vietnam Awards. The developer states that it has inherited and is fully honouring its legal obligations to customers who signed contracts earlier; during 2023 the company wrote to buyers offering a buy-back option and interest compensation for those who had been waiting a long time.
**Who is it for?** The project suits young families, technology professionals and commuters working at the Saigon Hi-Tech Park, Thu Thiem or central District 1 who would rather travel by metro than by private vehicle; investors letting units along the Metro Line 1 corridor; and shophouse investors betting on passenger flows at Binh Thai station together with a retail podium that is being filled with retail, F&B and co-working brands. Conversely, anyone who needs to move in within a short timeframe, or who cannot accept schedule risk, should weigh the decision carefully and inspect actual construction progress on site.

📍 Phuoc Long Ward (formerly Phuoc Long A, District 9 - then Thu Duc City), Ho Chi Minh City
Metro Star stands at 360 Vo Nguyen Giap (formerly Hanoi Highway) in Phuoc Long Ward, Ho Chi Minh City - an area that was previously Phuoc Long A Ward in District 9 and then Thu Duc City, and which since the administrative reorganisation of 1 July 2025 has been merged from the three wards of Phuoc Binh, Phuoc Long A and Phuoc Long B. The site sits right at the Binh Thai interchange, where Vo Nguyen Giap meets Do Xuan Hop and where heavy traffic from the eastern gateway converges on its way into the city centre. The transport advantage most often cited is the pedestrian bridge in the master plan, running from Level 2 of the retail podium across to Binh Thai station - Station 10 on Metro Line 1, Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien; the metro line is in commercial operation, but the bridge was still unfinished as of mid-2026, so buyers should treat it as a future rather than an existing amenity. From the project, residents heading east along Vo Nguyen Giap reach the Saigon Hi-Tech Park, the Vietnam National University village and the new Mien Dong Bus Station; in the opposite direction the road crosses Saigon Bridge into Binh Thanh and District 1. Pham Van Dong, Mai Chi Tho, Do Xuan Hop and the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay Expressway are all within a short radius. The surrounding neighbourhood already has an established amenity base: Phuoc Long B market, Nam Hoa market, Co.opmart supermarkets, the Vincom centres in the former District 9, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, and densely populated residential estates such as Nam Long and City Horse.
The project is planned with a pedestrian bridge connecting directly from Level 2 of the retail podium into Binh Thai station - Station 10 on Metro Line 1, Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien; the metro line is already in commercial operation, but as of mid-2026 the bridge itself was still unfinished with no announced completion date

Two towers designed as three-pointed stars by AXIS Architects (Singapore), giving most apartments an open aspect with natural ventilation and daylight
According to the developer, the project offers more than 100 amenities including an infinity pool, a 50 m competition pool, a sky bridge between the two towers, sky gardens, a retail podium and a shophouse street
The long-running legal obstacles have been cleared: in April 2024 the Thu Duc City People's Committee approved the adjustment of the investment policy and approved the investor, and the site restarted and accelerated construction
