Located in Hanoi’s prestigious Tay Ho District, the 173-unit Heritage West Lake is CLD’s first luxury residential development in the city. From Heritage West Lake, residents can enjoy stunning waterfront views of West Lake, the Red River and the bustling cityscapes of Hanoi. Inspired by the legends of the majestic West Lake, the 25-storey Heritage West Lake creates a sense of living in a mythical land with extensive landscaping, including a lush mystery garden with sculptured greenery. There are more than 40 top-class facilities and features at Heritage West Lake. It is the first residential development in Hanoi where all residents are able to take a lift directly to their apartment’s doorstep. Heritage West Lake is also the first residential development in the city to feature a 50-metre outdoor heated infinity cloud pool. Other facilities include a sunbathing deck; a sky bar, a sky wine and cigar lounge on the top floor; a shaded cave pool as well as jacuzzis. Heritage West Lake is Hanoi’s first residential development to receive Singapore’s Building Authority & Construction (BCA)’s Green Mark Award.
The 88-unit DEFINE is located in the administrative centre of Thu Duc City in Ho Chi Minh City, offering the residents the pinnacle of luxury living. Residents will have lift access directly to their apartment. Most units come with either a private courtyard garden or private lap pool and DEFINE is noted for having the most of number of swimming pools in a single residential development in Ho Chi Minh City. At DEFINE, residents can experience the sophisticated lifestyle akin to life in glamorous Monaco. Residents can enjoy panoramic views of the Saigon River from the master bedroom and dramatic city views of Ho Chi Minh City from their living and dining rooms. The 26-storey DEFINE offers 50 luxurious facilities and features such as a cigar room, a supercar garage and the first automated smart car parking system in Vietnam. Residents will be able to easily retrieve their parked vehicles via the smart car parking system using their apartment access card instead of manually searching for their vehicles. The supercar garage, comprising 10 parking lots, comes with premium furnishings, electric vehicle charging points and a see-through roller shutter. Each lot is also over 50% larger than an average parking lot. DEFINE is also a green-certified development, receiving the Green Mark Gold accolade by BCA.
