The Global City: A 117.4ha Foster + Partners Township & Nexus Zone’s Edge
Mục lục
Living at Nexus Zone means living inside The Global City — a 117.4-hectare mega-township developed by Masterise Homes and masterplanned by Foster + Partners, positioned to become a new central icon of Ho Chi Minh City. Understanding this township is understanding most of the value a Nexus Zone apartment delivers.
This article explores The Global City: its international masterplan, its green landscape system, its diverse international community, and why living inside an already-formed mega-township is an investment advantage.
A 117.4ha Township Masterplanned by Foster + Partners
The Global City spans 117.4 hectares in East Saigon, masterplanned by Foster + Partners — one of the world’s most celebrated architecture practices, behind numerous global landmarks. The township follows a comprehensive live – work – play model, bringing together apartments, shophouses, offices, retail and cultural spaces.
Masterise Homes — a branded-property developer under Masterise Group — created The Global City with the ambition of bringing world-class living standards to Vietnam, partnering with a roster of global brands. This is an important basis of credibility for every subdivision within it, including Nexus Zone.
450,000 m² of Greenery, WATG Landscape & the Musical Canal
The defining quality of The Global City is its “dialogue with nature”: over 450,000 m² of greenery and water, landscaped by WATG — a world master of landscape design. Spatial layout, light, wind and wellness amenities are meticulously calibrated to elevate residents’ quality of life.
At the heart of the landscape is the largest musical canal in Southeast Asia, alongside a network of parks, plazas and walking trails across the township. For Nexus Zone residents, this is a space to relax and exercise right at their doorstep — an amenity stand-alone projects can rarely create.
An International Community & World-Class Events
The Global City is shaped as a gathering point for an elite, multinational community with an international lifestyle. The township regularly hosts large-scale cultural, entertainment and sporting events — from concerts and tournaments to seasonal festivals — creating a vibrant, identity-rich community life.
For buyers, a civilised, peer community is an intangible factor that ultimately determines long-term living experience — and also helps an asset hold value. Adjacent to The Global City is the 187-hectare Saigon Sport City complex, further enriching the East’s amenity ecosystem.
Why Living in a Mega-Township Is an Investment Advantage
An apartment inside an already-formed mega-township carries three advantages over a stand-alone project: real operating amenities (no waiting for what’s “coming”), coordinated community and security, and a developer brand that vouches for quality. Together these three factors support liquidity and value retention when the market turns.
Nexus Zone inherits the full value of The Global City while being a new subdivision with up-to-date design and handover standards. That is why it suits both owner-occupiers and long-term investors.

Masterise Homes — A Branded-Property Developer
The Global City and Nexus Zone are developed by Masterise Homes — a member of Masterise Group and a branded-property developer pioneering international standards in Vietnam. Over years of development, Masterise Homes has built a portfolio of international-standard projects in partnership with global names such as Marriott, Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott.
For buyers, the developer’s capability and reputation are the first layer of assurance on progress, handover quality and long-term operation of the township. A township masterplanned by Foster + Partners, landscaped by WATG and developed by Masterise Homes forms a rare trio of credibility in the market.
The Global City vs a Stand-Alone Project
Buyers often compare a township apartment with a similarly priced stand-alone block elsewhere. The difference shows over time. A stand-alone project depends on the surrounding neighbourhood for amenities, schools and security, factors outside the developer’s control. A township like The Global City delivers these internally, to a coordinated standard, and maintains them under one management framework.
This matters for both daily life and resale. Residents enjoy parks, retail, schools and events without leaving the masterplan, while future buyers pay a premium for the certainty and lifestyle a mature township provides. The brand of the developer and the operator further reassures that quality will be sustained for years, not just at handover.
For Nexus Zone, sitting at the core of The Global City means inheriting this entire advantage while offering the newest design and handover standards within the township, a combination that supports both liveability and long-term value.
A Live-Work-Play Ecosystem in One Township
What sets The Global City apart from an ordinary apartment cluster is its all-in-one model: every resident need is met within the same township. Retail blocks and the SOHO street cover shopping, dining and services; offices and co-working spaces serve work; international schools and an international hospital handle education and healthcare.
This structure changes how residents spend time: instead of commuting far each day between home, workplace, school and leisure, every touchpoint sits within walking distance or a few minutes away. The time saved goes back to family and self, the intangible yet very real value of an integrated township.
For Nexus Zone residents, this is a double advantage: enjoy the privacy and exclusive amenities of the subdivision, then step out into the vibrant life of the wider The Global City, a lifestyle stand-alone projects can rarely recreate.

Buyers acquire not just an apartment but an entire, thoughtfully built living ecosystem. To dive deeper into The Global City and how Nexus Zone benefits, leave your details for Realtique’s advisory.
Ultimately, buying into The Global City is buying into a vision that is already being delivered on the ground, not promised on paper. The masterplan, the green corridors, the schools and the commercial life are taking physical shape, which removes much of the uncertainty that comes with early-stage projects elsewhere. For a Nexus Zone buyer, that means the lifestyle and the value drivers are visible and verifiable today, and set to deepen as the township matures toward full operation, with each new phase, road and amenity adding another layer of certainty for early owners.
