Notable HCMC property developments
One of the most impressive HCMC property developments to launch last year was Akari City. Designed as a multi-purpose residential city, the project features renovated and upgraded apartments; shopping and dining outlets; an education area; a healthcare center; gardens and landscaped areas; and an amusement park.
Akari City was inspired by Japanese architecture, design and planning in order to create a residential zone that is both exclusive and secluded from the hustle and bustle of HCMC. Savills Vietnam was appointed as the official sales agent for international buyers at Akari City.
