CapitaLand sells entire Ho Chi Minh City luxury residential development Define
CAPITALAND Development has sold all 88 units of its luxury residential development Define at Ho Chi Minh City within 2 hours of its exclusive weekend preview on Saturday (Dec 4). The residences went at an average price of 125 million dong (S$7,424.74) per square metre (psm). This translates to about 11.6 million dong or S$689 per square foot (psf).
Slated for completion in 2024, Define comprises 3- and 4-bedroom apartments spanning 197 sq m and starting from 296-sq m respectively.
It also holds 2 penthouse units starting from 528 sq m. One on the 25th floor overlooking the Saigon River was sold through a ballot at 83 billion dong, or equivalent to about 160 million dong psm.
Most units come with either a private courtyard garden or private lap pool. Altogether, the residential development features 45 swimming pools, a supercar garage with electric vehicle charging ports and a co-working lounge.
CapitaLand note that about 80 per cent of Define’s buyers were Vietnamese, while the remaining were foreigners. In Ho Chi Minh City, about 30 per cent of a typical residential development can be owned by foreigners.
The lease of a residential development in Vietnam also differs from property to property. For Define, locals will receive a freehold lease, while foreigners will obtain a lease period of about 50 years, the developer said.
