The Vista (The Vista An Phu) is CapitaLand’s original Thao Dien-border landmark — delivered 2013-2014 by the Singapore real estate giant behind D’edge Thao Dien. Among the very first major international-developer luxury compounds in the broader Thao Dien Area, The Vista pioneered the CapitaLand-Vietnam residential investment that later expanded into D’edge and Estella Heights. Iconic skyline-visible multi-tower compound on Mai Chi Tho.

Browse verified The Vista apartments for rent across all 6 towers — Thao Dien Area’s iconic established CapitaLand luxury with the deepest 12-year community continuity.
The Vista represents one of the most historically significant residential investments in modern HCMC. Developed by CapitaLand — Singapore’s largest diversified real estate group — and delivered in 2013-2014, The Vista was among the very first major international-developer luxury residential compounds to specifically target the Thao Dien/An Phu expat market.
The development’s success proved the thesis that international developers could deliver Singapore-grade residential quality in HCMC and command premium rents. This thesis later enabled CapitaLand’s subsequent investments including D’edge Thao Dien (2018-2019) and Estella Heights (joint venture, 2017-2019).
The development consists of 6 towers labeled T1 through T6 totaling approximately 1,800 apartments. The location at 628C Xa Lo Ha Noi, An Phu Ward (Thao Dien/An Phu border), Thu Duc City places The Vista at the strategic boundary between Thao Dien and An Phu — residents enjoy access to both areas’ amenities and infrastructure.
For renters in 2026, The Vista’s defining characteristic is iconic visual presence + established 12-year community + CapitaLand build quality at value pricing. The 6-tower skyline-visible cluster has become a landmark in HCMC’s eastern landscape — visible from miles away across the river.
The Vista sits at the Thao Dien/An Phu border on the main arterial Mai Chi Tho/Xa Lo Ha Noi:
The Vista’s Mai Chi Tho arterial position is the fastest D1 commute from D2 luxury compounds — Mai Chi Tho connects directly to D1 via Thu Thiem Tunnel and Saigon Bridge with minimal traffic light interruption.
The Vista’s 6 towers (typically labeled T1 through T6) are arranged in a coordinated cluster with consistent CapitaLand construction quality:
Premium positioning with strongest D1-skyline + river views. Most coveted within The Vista. Higher rent premium.
Mid-position towers with city views. Diverse unit mix. Balanced rent positioning.
Quieter orientation with inland/internal courtyard views. Best value within The Vista at same CapitaLand quality.
Construction quality is consistent across all 6 towers — choose based on view direction, floor level, and unit condition (which varies significantly based on landlord renovation over 12+ years).

"I chose Gateway specifically for the proximity to my son's school (ABCIS, 4 minutes walk). The 2BR layout works perfectly for our family of three, and the building has a strong Korean tenant community.

"Thao Dien is the easiest landing spot in HCMC for first-time expats. Walking distance to Western groceries, English-speaking dentists, yoga studios, and a community that organically helps newcomers settle in. After three years here I cannot imagine living anywhere else in the city.
"
"Moving with two kids in primary school, The Estella was the obvious choice — 8 minutes to ISHCMC, 12 minutes to BIS, and the kids have made friends with neighbours' kids in the pool every afternoon. The 3BR unit has genuine family-sized rooms which is rare in HCMC. The compound feel with multiple pools and playgrounds is something the kids talk about every day.
