Opportunities to own in District 1 do not come often, and rarely with this level of design and discretion. The Marq District 1 is one of the few luxury residential projects located squarely in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s most established district. It offers something increasingly hard to find in fast-growing urban centers: a calm, high-quality living experience with long-term value built in. Developed by Hongkong Land in partnership with NDC An Khang, The Marq District 1 was designed from the start for those who prioritize fundamentals including location, build quality and long-term livability over short-term trends. The collaboration brings together decades of experience in premium developments across Asia.
Launched in 2019 and completed in 2022, The Marq District 1 features 515 residences, ranging from one to four bedrooms and sized from 45 to 250 square meters, making it equally well-suited to professionals, young couples or families needing room to grow. Bedrooms feature soft textures such as velvet, leather and subtle metallics that feel more like confidence than luxury. High ceilings (3.2 metres) and floor-to-ceiling windows open to the city’s rhythm outside, bringing in air, light and a sense of scale that’s hard to find this close to the center. Select three- and four-bedroom units come with private elevators, a rare feature in Vietnam, and a quiet nod to privacy that many high-net-worth buyers will appreciate.
The interior approach is minimal and functional. Materials are carefully chosen, the lighting is well-resolved, and spaces feel open without being excessive. The Marq District 1’s resident profile reflects this mindset. Owners include established entrepreneurs, investors, expatriates and professionals, whom do not need to be sold on the concept of urban luxury. What draws them here is the project’s blend of location, quality and managed growth, which is a high-end residential product in a proven central location, backed by reputable developers, designed for real, long-term use.
The architecture at The Marq District 1 is guided by contemporary sensibility in purpose. Clean lines, generous space and natural light form the foundation, while materials like honed marble and floor-to-ceiling glass bring a quiet sense of luxury. From the moment you step inside, the design speaks clearly: this is a place meant to be lived in. Each residence is oriented to take in the city, whether it is the calm of early morning or the glow of Ho Chi Minh City’s skyline at night. Views are open and uninterrupted along with a sense of space that’s rare for such a central location.
There is 24/7 triple-layer security, hotel-grade concierge, assigned parking and regular resident events, all of which are designed with privacy and long-term comfort in mind. On the rooftop, residents have access to a full suite of amenities designed for both daily living and quiet retreat. An infinity pool, shaded lounges and a BBQ terrace are framed by curated greenery. It feels less like a condo and more like a well-run resort. Even the lobby reflects this same balance: elegant but warm, polished without being cold.
For residents who value the long view, The Marq District 1 suits those looking for more than a short stay. For long-term homeowners, it offers peace of mind: a secure, well-managed environment in the heart of the city, with reliable services and a high standard of upkeep. For investors focused on quality tenants, The Marq District 1 also appeals to investors targeting the upper end of the rental market. With a tenant base that includes foreign professionals, senior executives and regional entrepreneurs, the demand is steady and expectations are high. Current average rental rates for a two-bedroom unit is USD1,800 per month, depending on unit type and furnishing.

From here, key districts like Binh Thanh, District 3 and Thu Duc City are all within easy reach. The airport is just a 30-minute drive, and as Ho Chi Minh City’s infrastructure continues to evolve, The Marq District 1 is well-positioned to benefit. The Ba Son (Thu Thiem 2) Bridge will offer a direct link to the city’s new financial district, while Metro Line 1 is set to improve north-south connectivity across the urban core. Backed by the experience of Hongkong Land, The Marq District 1 is what thoughtful urban living looks like: access without chaos, centrality without congestion, and a location that will only become more valuable as the city grows around it.
