Saigon South Residences remains popular as ever in 4th sales phase

96 per cent of the 270 condominiums on offer in the fourth selling phase of Phu My Hung Development Corporation’s Saigon South Residences were snapped up by buyers.

The giant real estate developer said the apartments were purchased within a mere two hours after the sale opened of units in block G, the project’s only stand-alone tower.

After four sales phases, nearly 1,500 units in five out of the six buildings of Saigon South Residences have been sold, the developer said.

It said nearly 800 customers turned up for the sales, 40 per cent of them being those who had failed to buy in the three previous phases.

The fourth phase attracted many prospective buyers from HCM City’s neighboring provinces seeking to buy condos for their children who hope to study in the city next year.

A man from the Central Highlands Province of Buon Ma Thuot said a friend had told him about the project. He plans to move to HCM City in 2019 so that his children can study here.

Around 800 customers hoped to buy units at Saigon South Residences Project.

Since the number of customers was much higher than the number of condos to be sold, the developer drew lots. Each of them had to put in their invitation in a box at the entrance, and the names of the lucky customers were announced after the draw.

Pham Tan Huan of the southern province of Vung Tau said: “I came early in the morning. I like the way Phu My Hung Development Corporation sells its condos. Everything is clear and transparent.”

The first customers put their invitations box and hope luck favours them in a draw of lots for buying units.

Phu My Hung Development Corporation said Saigon South Residences has attracted many young buyers thanks to its many amenities for children like indoor and outdoor playing yards, study room, library and under-water sports centre.

They are also attracted by the offer from Vietinbank and Vietcombank of loans at zero interest for the first two years.

Many customers arrive at the sales event hoping to get a choice to buy a condo. Many like Saigon South Residences for Vietcombank and VietinBank’s offer of a mortgage without interest for the first two years.

The value of the apartments in the project is expected to rise strongly when they are finished in 2019. By then local infrastructure would have been upgraded with flyovers and a metro line put into operation.
