The affluent are drawn to residences that reflect their elevated status, offering exceptional value through prime location, striking vistas, and distinctive character befitting their station.

Living spaces immersed in nature

Many mistakenly believe that luxury real estate derives its value primarily from convenient central locations with comprehensive infrastructure and proximity to amenities. In reality, the defining characteristic that distinguishes true luxury from ultra-luxury residences is the integration of expansive natural spaces.

Ultra-luxury residences are assessed not merely by bedroom count, but by generous garden dimensions, impressive vehicular entrances, open kitchens overlooking verdant landscapes, and unobstructed views of golf courses, waterfront vistas, or manicured parks. This explains why the world’s most discerning buyers gravitate toward prestigious enclaves such as Hyde Park in London or Beverly Hills in California, despite the abundance of villas constructed elsewhere.

Distinctive design

As patrons of fine art with refined aesthetic sensibilities, the affluent gravitate toward bespoke and exclusive offerings. While considerable wealth is demonstrated in purchasing a villa for billions of dong, exceptional affluence is evident in investing billions solely on a singular custom lighting installation for the living room.

Consequently, bespoke design has become a domain where the elite pursue unlimited creative expression and investment—from villas crafted by renowned architects to entirely custom-tailored living spaces. Uniqueness stands as a cornerstone of ultra-luxury real estate, conferring prestige and exemplifying the proprietor’s refined sensibilities.

Elite community

Affluent individuals cultivate expansive networks through exclusive circles and business relationships. These connections facilitate access to timely market information, emerging opportunities, innovative concepts, and the cultivation of a distinguished lifestyle characterized by refined taste and elevated standards of conduct.

Consequently, the world’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals often seek to establish exclusive ‘elite communities’ that share aligned philosophies regarding lifestyle, business, and leisure. Examples include The Golden Triangle in Greenwich, the wealthiest area in the United States with 5,000 residents earning over $600,000 annually per family, and The Peak in Hong Kong, where leading business magnates, celebrities, and increasingly, Chinese millionaires and billionaires congregate.

Ultra-luxury real estate developments must attract and cultivate an elite community; without this, client retention becomes considerably challenging.

The Rivus – A Gathering Place for Vietnamese Elites

The Rivus is Asia’s first luxury residence designed by Elie Saab, drawing inspiration from the art of Haute Couture fashion. This exceptional mansion project, exclusively available in Vietnam and Asia, seamlessly merges ultra-luxury residential design with Haute Couture artistry. The development is undertaken by the renowned international real estate developer Masterise Homes.

The Rivus Elie Saab luxury residences are situated in the heart of the Grand Park urban development in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City, with frontage along both the Tac and Dong Nai rivers. The exclusive project comprises just 121 mansions across three collections, each meticulously designed by Elie Saab, the acclaimed master couturier renowned for creating haute couture garments of exceptional prestige worldwide.

The Rivus luxury mansions occupy a remarkable location with river frontage on all four sides, positioned on exceptionally auspicious feng shui land that brings prosperity and good fortune to residents.

Through Elie Saab’s vision, the defining principles that distinguish haute couture—its preciousness and rarity—are reflected in every aspect of The Rivus mansion collection. Each residence represents a masterpiece embodying Elie Saab’s distinctive signature and design philosophy: magnificent, refined, and wholly unique.

Like each Haute Couture gown, the The Rivus villas are meticulously crafted and finished with precision, offering exceptional uniqueness to the discerning owner.

Here, the brand’s prestige is embodied and becomes a symbol affirming the owner’s distinguished position within the world’s elite circles.

The Elie Saab luxury villas at The Rivus encompass up to 1,200 m², each featuring a private basement and swimming pool. The villas are crafted by Elie Saab and world-renowned architectural experts according to Haute Couture standards through five “bespoke” stages: sketching, modeling, color selection, material selection, and finishing. The iconic Elie Saab signature appears throughout every exterior and interior detail of each mansion, from the main gate and door hardware to kitchen and bathroom fixtures, defining the entire living experience.

The project spans 26.73 hectares with a construction density of 15%, reserving 85% for landscaping and amenities that nurture both the physical and emotional wellness of villa owners. This includes four Six Senses parks totaling nearly 10 hectares, a private marina fronting the mansions, a clubhouse complex, and an outdoor cinema. The project is anticipated to be completed and delivered in 2024.

Residents will enjoy breathtaking views of sparkling waters at their doorstep, watching sunrises or savoring morning coffee amidst gentle breezes, surrounded by thousands of plants and the refreshing scent of the sea.

To complement this exceptional waterfront setting, each villa features a distinctive design meticulously tailored to the owner’s preferences by renowned designer Elie Saab. The Rivus is home to an exclusive community of discerning residents and accomplished individuals who value refined living and premium amenities, including a multi-layered security system, a private marina directly accessible from the residence, and a state-of-the-art cinema.
