On January 15, 2026, the groundbreaking ceremony of the Can Gio Bridge, with a total investment of over 13,200 billion VND, became the biggest boost for the Ho Chi Minh City real estate market. Not only opening a new development direction towards the sea, this project also directly repositions the value of urban areas located on the arterial Nguyen Huu Tho route. Among them, Zeitgeist City (GS Metrocity Nha Be) is evaluated by experts as the biggest beneficiary, welcoming the flow of trade and residents moving to the South.
1. The "Exclusive Gateway" Position of Zeitgeist City
Located right on the frontage of Nguyen Huu Tho Street, Zeitgeist City possesses a strategic position that few projects have at this time. When Can Gio Bridge is completed (expected in 2029), Nguyen Huu Tho Street will not only be an inner-city road but become a vital traffic route connecting the center of Ho Chi Minh City with the 2,870-ha "marine super city" and the Can Gio International Transshipment Port.
By shortening the travel time from the city center to Can Gio from 2 hours to about 40-50 minutes, the volume of vehicles moving through the Nha Be area will increase dramatically. Zeitgeist City, with a scale of 349ha situated right at the gateway of this journey, will become the busiest commercial stop and service hub in the region. This is a solid guarantee for the business potential of Shophouse products and the added value of residential subdivisions within the project.
2. 2026 Infrastructure: The Dual Leverage Propelling Zeitgeist City
2026 is considered the "falling point" year for the Southern area's infrastructure. Besides the Can Gio Bridge groundbreaking event invested by Masterise Group under the BT form, a series of other key projects are also reaching the finish line, creating a complete transportation ecosystem surrounding Zeitgeist City:
-
Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway: Expected to open to traffic along the entire route in July 2026. The intersection of this expressway is located very close to the project, helping Zeitgeist residents easily connect to the West and Long Thanh Airport without going through the crowded city center.
-
Nguyen Van Linh – Nguyen Huu Tho Underpass: Already in stable operation, thoroughly solving the congestion problem, making travel from District 7 to the project much more airy.
-
Satellite projects: Rach Dia Bridge and Phuoc Long Bridge, completed in late 2024 - 2025, have shared the burden for regional traffic, turning Nha Be into a multi-dimensional connected urban area.
The convergence of these projects transforms Zeitgeist City from a "potential" project into an asset with "real value" right in 2026.
3. Zeitgeist City: The Solution for International Standard Living
For homebuyers looking to reside, the development of Can Gio brings a new perspective. As Can Gio becomes a center for tourism, resort, and marine logistics, the demand for high-end housing for foreign experts and managers working at the seaports and resorts will skyrocket.
However, Can Gio leans towards eco-tourism, while District 7 is quite crowded. Zeitgeist City is the perfect balance point. With methodical planning from GS E&C Group (Korea), the project offers green living space, low construction density, and 5-star international standard amenities.
Residents here take only 15-20 minutes to get to work in Can Gio via the new bridge but still enjoy a comfortable, modern life right next to Phu My Hung. This is the key factor attracting the elite and international experts to choose Zeitgeist City as a long-term residence.
4. Investment Opportunity: "Catching the Wave" Early
The history of Ho Chi Minh City real estate has proven: "Where bridges go, land prices rise." Typical examples are the East area with Thu Thiem 2 Bridge or the Rach Chiec area which just started the sports complex. With Can Gio Bridge, the price increase scenario is repeating in the South.
According to experts, the period 2026 – 2029 (bridge construction time) is the golden phase for asset accumulation. Real estate prices at Zeitgeist City currently still have huge growth potential compared to the Thu Thiem area or central District 7. When the bridge is joined and mega tourism projects in Can Gio come into operation, the price level here will set a new record.
Investing in Zeitgeist City at this time is not just buying a property, but buying "shares" in the development of the entire Southern marine economic zone of HCMC.
With the powerful infrastructure launchpad from Can Gio Bridge and Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway, Zeitgeist City possesses absolute competitive advantages in the market. Whether buying to live, do business, or for long-term investment, this is the ripe moment to put money down to own a position in the most livable super urban area in South Saigon.
