Phú Mỹ Hưng urban area: a green lung for the southern part of HCMC
After nearly 20 years of formation and development, the southern part of HCMC has undergone a spectacular transformation. From wild land with marshland terrain and low economic value, it has risen to become a modern urban area, with stately rows of villas and imposing high-rise buildings interspersed among shady green grounds. Phú Mỹ Hưng is not only an ideal place to settle but also a bustling economic, commercial and service centre that strongly attracts major investors.

Strategic vision and sustainable planning
The success of Phú Mỹ Hưng stems from a strategic vision based on a Decision of the Prime Minister, which oriented the development of the southern area as a multi-functional constituent part of HCMC. This is a centre for finance, commerce, services, education and entertainment, acting as the driving force behind the development of both the southern and the south-eastern parts of the city.
The most important infrastructure highlight is Nguyễn Văn Linh Boulevard, 17.8 km long with 10 lanes. It is regarded as the backbone and lifeblood of transport, connecting HCMC with the provinces of the Mekong Delta and the South East, creating a solid foundation for trade and economic development.
A living space in harmony with nature
Understanding the Vietnamese culture’s emphasis on closeness to nature, the team of architects and the late Chairman Lawrence S. Ting created Phú Mỹ Hưng with open architectural space. In a dynamic industrial city like Saigon, it is hard to find a place with more than 40 ha dedicated to green space and landscaped infrastructure.
The urban area is divided into specialised functional sub-areas to optimise living value for residents:
- 5 major functional areas: Along Nguyễn Văn Linh Boulevard these comprise Zone A (new urban centre), Zone B (university village), Zone C (high-tech centre), and Zones D and E (goods distribution area).
- 8 sub-zones at the heart of Zone A: Including the International Commercial and Financial Zone, The Crescent, the Canal Zone, the Hill View Zone, Midtown, the Medical and Convalescence Zone, the Culture and Entertainment Zone and the South Garden Zone.

Premium amenities – The heart of the community
If the system of parks and greenery along the canals is described as the “lungs”, then Crescent Lake is the “heart” of Phú Mỹ Hưng. With the shimmer of Ánh Sao Bridge at night and friendly lakeside walking paths, this place creates a modern, relaxed lifestyle, set apart from the noise of the city.
In addition, residents here also enjoy some of the finest premium amenities:
- Crescent Mall: A shopping centre with an investment of USD 200 million, meeting every shopping and entertainment need.
- Luxury residential projects: The Chateau castle villas or the upscale Crescent Residence apartments offer a privileged living space, harmoniously combining classic and modern touches.
The thorough investment – from modern construction technology on soft ground to the organisation of an international design competition worth USD 2 million – has affirmed the position of a “city facing the East Sea”. Phú Mỹ Hưng has not only helped ease population pressure on the inner city but has also unlocked enormous economic potential, creating a proud new face for Ho Chi Minh City.
Besides the appeal of Phú Mỹ Hưng, if you are looking for a similar ecological living space in the northern area, Hồng Hạc City Urban Area is a choice not to be missed. This project makes a strong impression with a central park of up to 17 ha, promising a fresh, green and refined living environment, establishing a new standard of living for residents
