The Art of Urban Development: A Look at Grand Marina, Saigon

 

Masterise Homes is a pioneer in creating world-class branded residential projects in Vietnam and beyond. The company has assembled the largest portfolio of branded residences in Southeast Asia. This has been achieved through collaborations with international partners such as Marriott International, a leading hospitality group that includes brands like Marriott, JW Marriott, and The Ritz-Carlton, as well as with Haute Couture master Elie Saab.

To deliver unparalleled quality in every product and service is the main goal for Masterise Homes. The company aims to create ultimate customer experiences, foster community well-being, and advance sustainability.

Grand Marina, Saigon – Where prestige meets heritage

Grand Marina, Saigon is the first Marriott-branded residences project in Vietnam and the largest of its kind in the world. Set along a unique and historic riverside location, the development is envisioned as a landmark mixed-use complex featuring luxury residences, premium office spaces, and world-class commercial facilities.

In recognition of its excellence, Grand Marina, Saigon was honored with a 2025 Luxury Lifestyle Award, underscoring its status as a global icon of luxury living.

Located at 2 Tôn Đức Thắng, Saigon Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, the project began construction in 2021 and has now achieved 100% completion, standing as a new symbol of sophistication and modern living in Vietnam.

Timeless Elegance in Design meets hotel-inspired services by Marriott 

As what is recognized as the world’s largest Marriott & JW Marriott residences, Grand Marina, Saigon brings several innovative features designed to benefit property owners. Homeowners receive exclusive access to ONVIA by Marriott – a global platform offering elevated Marriott Bonvoy™ Gold Elite and curated lifestyle privileges, VIP concierge services, and exclusive events around the world. The project also incorporates a smart-home system, allowing residents to control most items inside the apartment from lighting to curtains, with a simple touch.   The project’s location on a rare riverfront site directly connects to Ba Son station (Metro Line 1), enhancing daily convenience and long-term asset value.

Commitment to Sustainability and Excellence

Sustainability was a key consideration in the project’s development, as part of Masterise Homes’ broader goal of building responsibly. Grand Marina, Saigon was designed in accordance with Marriott’s standards, which strictly require energy efficiency as well as privacy and comfort for residents.

The engineers have spent significant time researching cooling performance and energy savings, collaborating with architects to control the glazing ratio of Grand Marina, Saigon, ensuring it does not exceed 40%. The team also worked diligently on the selection of materials, integrating them into the glazing façade system’s design standards. Reflectivity, solar heat gain, and U-value were the key performance criteria considered throughout the process.

The project also features advanced MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) systems designed by Aurecon, an engineering firm known for its focus on sustainability. These systems work to improve resource efficiency and reduce energy consumption. The direct connection to Metro Line 1 supports public transport usage and a low-carbon urban mobility strategy.

Partnerships and a Legacy of Quality

The project is a collaboration between Masterise Homes, the developer, and is associated with 2 hotel brands – Marriott and JW Marriott through a strategic long-term partnership with Marriott International to bring the world’s largest branded residences to Vietnam. These are two prestigious brands within the extensive portfolio of Marriott International, the world’s leading hospitality company and the largest player in the branded residences sector.

The project’s master planning and architectural design were handled by Atkins, while the interior design was done by AB Concept and HBA. Aurecon was the engineering consultant for structural and MEP systems, and Mace served as the project management partner. This strategic teamwork was key to delivering the development to international standards.

The company aims to lead a transformation in Vietnam’s real estate market.  Through projects like Grand Marina, Saigon, Masterise Homes is establishing a standard that combines global standards with local authenticity. By focusing on a holistic branded living experience, the company is not only pioneering the branded residences concept in Vietnam but also introducing Grand Marina, Saigon as a timeless asset – a legacy to be passed on generation after generation.
