Overview

Sonkimland positioned the shophouse component of The Opera Residence as "Saigon's Wall Street" — a commercial address located immediately next to the planned Thu Thiem Opera House site. The asking price range runs from 50 to 128 billion VND, with a payment schedule requiring only 25% until June 2023 (a minimum of 12.5 billion VND over two years).

The shophouse launch coincided with the Bason Bridge (Thu Thiem Bridge No. 2) officially completing its final span on 2 September 2021, creating a direct vehicular link from Ton Duc Thang Street, District 1 into the Thu Thiem new urban area. By July 2021, the Opera Residence construction was already advancing visibly on site while the final bridge span was being prepared for installation.

Location

The Opera Residence sits on land plot 1.17, Zone 1, Thu Thiem, District 2 — within the area planned to become Ho Chi Minh City's new central business district. The project fronts a circular boulevard spanning nearly 7.6 hectares, sits along the Saigon River, and is directly linked to District 1 via Thu Thiem Bridge No. 2.

The location is presented alongside Pudong (Shanghai), Raffles City (Singapore), and Darling Harbour (Sydney) as comparable internationally recognized financial and commercial precincts.

Shophouse Product

The commercial units occupy the podium of the Opera Residence development, directly adjacent to the future Thu Thiem Opera House. The location is positioned to capture foot traffic from shoppers, tourists, and business visitors both domestic and international.

Project Progress - July 2021

By July 2021, the Opera Residence massing was already visible from multiple angles along the Saigon River and from the Thu Thiem side of the project. The imagery highlights the facade lighting concept, the built podium scale, and the project's direct frontage toward the bridge connection into District 1.

The Metropole Thu Thiem stands to benefit directly from Bason Bridge, with the project sitting beside the Central Plaza and the future pedestrian bridge.
