2. Overview

This luxury apartment complex in District 2 completed construction and landscaping, with full handover commencing mid-2018. The Diamond Island project comprises six towers—Brilliant, Hawaii, Bora Bora, Canary, Bahamas, and Maldives—each standing 25 to 29 stories. Set across approximately 8 hectares with only 1,250 apartments, the project maintains a low construction density of approximately 13.5%, with the remainder reserved for lush landscaping and green spaces.

As the only project bordering two major river branches in the heart of District 2, virtually all residences offer river views.

3. Landscape

A key strength of this luxury apartment complex is the developer’s meticulous attention to landscaping throughout both interior and exterior spaces.

Outside the complex, the riverside park offers expansive, open-air spaces with stunning views toward Landmark 81 and District 1. Residents can enjoy walking and exercising in this park.

Within the complex, the landscaping is beautifully maintained and inviting. A large swimming pool anchors the center of the community, surrounded by abundant children’s play areas, dedicated yoga and meditation spaces, and a BBQ area for weekend entertaining.

4. Amenities

Diamond Island offers convenient on-site amenities including supermarkets (Vinmart, Kmart, Khaisanfood), Ministop convenience store, Pharmacity pharmacy, Japanese and Thai dining options, and riverside cafés (King Coffee, Yoyo, Rang Cafe). The complex also features Winsdomland international kindergarten. While the selection is modest, the proximity to District 1’s vibrant dining and shopping districts provides residents with abundant options nearby.

6. What do residents say about this place?

Ms. My Linh purchased a three-bedroom apartment with an area of 220m² in the Brilliant Tower. She particularly appreciates the direct river views overlooking District 1. Diamond Island is a unique development where every unit benefits from river views on multiple sides. Additionally, the extensive recreational facilities for children have been a major draw for Ms. Linh as a mother of two. She values the safe, dedicated play areas where her children can enjoy themselves without concern. The building permits residents to keep dogs and cats, though pet policies are strictly enforced.

Upon moving in, Ms. Linh was pleased with the apartment’s finishes and required no structural modifications. She simply updated the flooring and added furnishings to suit her personal style.

Ms. Ngoc Anh, a business owner, relocated her family from an apartment in District 7 to a three-bedroom unit here in January 2019. She chose Diamond Island for its convenient proximity to her store in District 1. Additionally, the riverside park is a favorite among her parents-in-law, who enjoy their morning and evening walks. The riverside setting and abundant greenery provide exceptionally fresh and pleasant air. After researching numerous projects, she is convinced that Diamond Island is unmatched in Ho Chi Minh City for its low construction density of just 13.4%.

Le Mai, a university student, has been living here for nearly one year. Her parents purchased a one-bedroom apartment for her while she studies and as an investment. “My university has two campuses—one in District 1 and another in Thu Duc City—so this location is incredibly convenient. My parents’ plan is to purchase this unit for me, and after four years, I can sell it and upgrade to a larger unit if I choose. A one-bedroom apartment is perfect for my current needs.”

Mr. Dung, a telecommunications industry entrepreneur, invested in a Pool Villa at Diamond Island. He is particularly drawn to this property type, having selected a spacious unit spanning 840m², complete with a private garden and swimming pool totaling 450m². According to him, the Pool Villa offers the experience of villa living while providing access to the project’s premium amenities and services.

A private investor acquired two Penthouses at Diamond Island for over 100 billion VND, with a combined usable area of 1,000m². He unified the two units into a single residence, creating what is considered Saigon’s largest penthouse with exceptional 360-degree river views. The owner committed to the purchase after his initial viewing, recognizing the unparalleled quality of the property. His decision was further reinforced by the project’s marina facilities, which complement his yacht ownership.
