What is Thu Thiem?

Thu Thiem is in the heart of the biggest city in Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh City. Thu Thiem is located in District 2 on 657 HA of land (1,620-acre) and is currently being developed to become one of the biggest international financial and commercial centers in Southeast Asia.

To develop the megaproject, HCMC spent 10 years relocating 15,000 households, paying out nearly VND30 trillion ($1.3 billion) in compensation. Once completed it will be a huge tourist attraction consisting of shops, night life, festivities, and events.

Thu Thiem is right in the middle of the Ho Chi Minh and even resembles a heart. To have such a rare location in full development in such a big city is rare anywhere in the World.
