Empire City is located on prime 14.6-hectare waterfront site in the Thu Thiem New Urban Area, the future central business district of HCMC. Upon completion, the development will comprise about 3,000 premium residential apartments, office and retail properties as well as an 86-storey integrated mixed-use tower complex. Overlooking the Saigon River and the current central business district of HCMC, Thu Thiem New Urban Area is planned to be developed into the largest economic, commercial and financial centre of HCMC, offering cultural, entertainment and recreational activities. With the completion of the East-West Highway and the Thu Thiem Tunnel, it now takes only five minutes to drive from the waterfront site to the central business district.
