The event captivated more than 50,000 guests with a spectacular fireworks display combined with world-class entertainment, marking an unforgettable celebration as we welcomed 2024.
2023 was a landmark year for The Global City, which established itself as a premier destination by welcoming nearly 1 million visitors to experience world-class events including Southeast Asia’s largest water music festival, the Luxury Countdown 2023, The Legend Concert, and GENfest music festival. The venue has also attracted partnerships with prestigious brands such as Mercedes, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin.
From fashion and music to sports and architecture, each event has created countless memorable moments and opened diverse experiences for all audiences.
The modern and vibrant identity of The Global City was further reinforced by the 2024 New Year Countdown event, which drew over 50,000 attendees.
Recognized as Ho Chi Minh City’s newest premier destination, The Global City hosted its second major New Year celebration in 2024, welcoming over 50,000 attendees—a tenfold increase from the inaugural countdown event in 2023.
A comprehensive range of amenities nearing completion
Since Southeast Asia’s largest outdoor music venue opened its first phase in September 2022, The Global City has quickly become a premier entertainment destination for Ho Chi Minh City residents.
According to Masterise Homes, with the vision of establishing The Global City Thu Duc as the city’s new central hub, the developer is progressively completing a collection of modern and sophisticated public amenities.
Beyond the operational outdoor music venue, City Park—the city’s largest amusement park featuring Southeast Asia’s longest integrated indoor-outdoor professional go-kart circuit—is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2024 to serve residents and visitors alike.
These amenities serve The Global City’s residential community of up to 40,000 residents while meeting the broader needs of Ho Chi Minh City visitors and locals, offering shopping, entertainment, dining, and leisure activities.
Mr. Julian Wyatt, CEO of Masterise Property Management, noted that since the water music venue’s opening more than a year ago, The Global City has generated significant appeal for Ho Chi Minh City residents, attracting nearly one million visitors through large-scale events and establishing itself as a premier venue for attracting renowned brands seeking to expand their operations.
“We are continuing to develop major amenities including City Park and a 2-kilometer canal during the handover phase of the SOHO townhouse residences to enhance vitality, establish a substantial and stable customer base, and enable residents to generate immediate returns on their investments. This year’s New Year celebration, which attracted over 50,000 attendees, marks a significant milestone demonstrating that The Global City has established itself as a new urban center—a focal point for the city’s major events and activities, including the highly anticipated fireworks display,” he added.
The Global City: A “City Within a City” for Vietnam
According to CNN, a leading U.S. news outlet, the Foster + Partners architectural firm has unveiled an ambitious master plan for a new “city within a city” in Vietnam, featuring expansive green spaces and exceptional sustainability standards.
The British architects have revealed that this exceptional 290-acre (equivalent to over 117 hectares) site in Ho Chi Minh City will be meticulously designed and planned to become a truly global urban center worthy of its name, The Global City.
The development will create a modern mega-urban area centered around a “green core” that harmonizes with nature, establishing a vibrant “new city” within Ho Chi Minh City—Vietnam’s economic epicenter.
In an exclusive interview with CNN, Mr. Toby Blunt, senior partner at Foster + Partners, explained that while the firm has inherited the project’s approved master plan, the design continues to prioritize ecological balance and resident wellness within modern urban spaces.
