Keppel × Khang Dien · Joint Venture
A waterfront, drawnto Singapore lines.
The first joint venture between Keppel Land and Khang Dien — drafted as a three-block, 616-apartment resort address on a 1.29-hectare plate of the larger 11.8-ha Gladia City master plan, set out around five themed parks and a 2 km jogging route along the eastern water.

A-00 · The brief
Two city-makers, one drawing — a first in Vietnam.
Onto the same sheet, Keppel Land sets three decades of Singapore residential craftsmanship and Khang Dien three decades of master planning along Saigon's eastern corridor. Gladia By The Waters is their joint signature: a green-first, water-first address drawn to a Singapore residential standard and built on a Khang Dien site already honoured at the PropertyGuru Vietnam Awards.
The first Keppel × Khang Dien joint venture in Vietnam.
A-01 · The figures
Three blocks. Fifteen storeys. Six hundred and sixteen homes.
Read the plan and the numbers settle quickly: a 1.29-hectare plate carries three 15-storey blocks over a single basement — 616 apartments and 23 shophouses — inscribed within the wider 11.8-hectare Gladia City master plan and its five themed parks. Roughly 23% is built footprint; the balance is greenscape, water, and shared amenity.

Five iFactors at the heart of the plan.
i02
Entertainment
5 themed parks · 50 m skyline pool · sky lounge · a 23-shop retail colonnade.
i03
Convenience
On the Vo Chi Cong arterial: 5 min An Phu · 8 min Cat Lai port · 12 min Thu Thiem CBD.
i04
Well-being
2 km themed jogging loop · spa + onsen · indoor and outdoor gym · 100% balcony.
i05
Sustainability
Drawn toward Singapore's BCA Green Mark — Keppel's sustainability discipline, applied to Saigon.
A-02 · The site plan
Set on the Vo Chi Cong edge of the eastern axis.
Locate the plate on Vo Chi Cong — Thu Duc City's arterial ring — and the catchment reads off the page: five minutes to the An Phu and My Thuy interchanges, eight to the Cat Lai – Phu Huu port, twelve to the Thu Thiem financial district, and twenty-two to Long Thanh International Airport when it opens in 2026.
Five interchanges, one metro line, one international airport — every datum under 25 minutes.
A-03 · The greenscape
Twenty-three per cent built. The rest, plotted for trees and water.
The Gladia City master plan was laid out park-first. Five themed parks total 1.25 hectares, traced by a 2 km jogging loop. Of the 11.8-hectare site, only 23.3% reads as built footprint — the remainder is drawn as greenscape, retention pond, and shared amenity.
01
Welcome Park
Entry plaza and arrival fountain on the Vo Chi Cong frontage — the first line of the master plan.
02
Riverside Park
The 2 km jog track resolves at the riverside lawn — yoga deck and a water-edge boardwalk.
03
Health Park
Outdoor training rig, calisthenics deck and a multi-purpose court — a wellness programme drawn into the plan.
04
Community Park
Picnic lawns, shaded pavilions and a BBQ terrace set on the resident gathering podium.
05
Central Plaza
The civic heart — events lawn and retail colonnade forming the spine of the five-park system.
A-04 · The elevation
Singapore residential discipline, tuned to the Saigon climate.
Three 15-storey blocks rise from a shared four-floor podium. Every unit opens onto a private balcony — 100% of apartments draw direct natural ventilation, with cross-breeze paths set out for the southern monsoon. Singapore-standard construction, BCA-grade finishes, and sustainability detailing run the full height.
100% balcony
Every apartment opens onto a private balcony with sliding-door access — no rear-facing back-rooms.
Cross-ventilated layouts
Unit geometry routes the breeze through every room — Keppel's Singapore discipline, applied to Saigon.
Climate-responsive façade
Solar-control glass, vertical shade fins and recessed balconies cut envelope load by around 28%.
BCA Green Mark intent
Drawn toward Singapore Building & Construction Authority Green Mark certification — a Vietnamese first for Keppel.
A-05 · The amenity deck
A resort in the air, a park drawn on the ground.
Podium and rooftop are detailed for residents in the same set of drawings — a 50 m skyline pool, a gym wing with onsen and spa, children's play and a co-working lounge above, with the themed-park system laid out below.

A-06 · The fit-out
Hospitality-grade handover, with nothing left to specify.
Each unit is handed over fully finished to a Keppel Land Singapore-residential specification — engineered timber, Bosch / Hafele appliances and integrated storage already drawn into every layout. No upgrade lists; no decision fatigue.

A continuous tone across living, dining and bedrooms — durable and family-friendly underfoot.

Built-in cooktop, hood, oven and dishwasher — an appliance package chosen for South-east Asian cooking.

The home can be freely resold or leased — and when it is resold to a Vietnamese national, the title converts to permanent (freehold) ownership. Speak to a senior advisor for the current per-block allocation.
