Canh Vien 2

Cảnh Viên 2, known as Green View in some contexts, stands as a testament to the master planning of Phu My Hung Corporation, representing a deliberate effort to create an urban resort environment within Ho Chi Minh City. Located in the coveted Nam Vien area—the “Green Heart” of the urban center—Cảnh Viên 2 is a highly sought-after residential complex defined by its low construction density, abundant green spaces, and strategic proximity to both nature and the city’s major commercial hubs.

Completed and handed over in 2007, Cảnh Viên 2 is an established, prestigious address that has consistently maintained its high value and appeal. It is part of the larger Cảnh Viên cluster (Cảnh Viên 1, 2, and 3), but it is Cảnh Viên 2 that is often highlighted for its unique positioning: embraced by the winding Landscape River and the Cả Cấm River, creating a unique ‘green island’ ecosystem. This geographical advantage ensures that residents benefit from fresh, cool air originating from the South Sea and the vast Can Gio protective forest, making it a peaceful and healthy place to live.

Architectural Style and Design Philosophy

The design of Cảnh Viên 2 is a sophisticated fusion of classic European and contemporary architecture. This style gives the complex a timeless elegance that complements the luxury villa areas surrounding it in Nam Vien.

The Low-Density, High-View Principle

Built on an expansive land area of approximately 4,620 sqm, Cảnh Viên 2 is composed of just two 13-storey residential blocks, yielding a remarkably low density. The entire complex features only 116 units, promoting privacy, exclusivity, and an uncrowded atmosphere that is increasingly rare in major urban centers.

A key design feature is the strategic use of architecture to maximize views and ventilation. The rear facade of each tower is designed with a subtle concave, U-shaped indentation. This clever arrangement allows apartments on multiple sides to enjoy unobstructed, panoramic views of the surrounding natural landscape, including the large public park and the luxurious garden villas nearby.

Spacious and Ventilated Living

Cảnh Viên 2 caters to high-end living with generously sized apartments, designed primarily for families. Unit sizes are substantial, typically ranging from 119 sqm up to over 200 sqm, offering 3 to 4 bedrooms.

• Standard Apartments: Located from the 2nd to the 10th floors.
• Penthouses: The upper floors (11th to 13th) are dedicated to exclusive Penthouse units, some featuring large mezzanine floors and expansive outdoor terraces, capitalizing on the stunning views of the Nam Vien greenery and the distant cityscape.

Every apartment is meticulously designed to be bright and airy, with large windows and at least one loggia (balcony) in the living room, dining area, or bedrooms. This emphasis on natural light and cross-ventilation provides residents with a constant connection to the outdoors, living up to its ‘Green View’ moniker.

Internal Facilities: The On-Site Resort Experience

The low-rise nature and strategic layout of Cảnh Viên 2 allow for a generous allocation of space to internal amenities, providing a complete, resort-style experience without ever leaving the complex.

Leisure and Wellness

• Swimming Pool: Located on the podium level (often the 2nd floor) between the two blocks, the complex features two outdoor swimming pools: a sizable pool for adults (around 108 sqm) and a separate, safe children’s pool (around 10.6 sqm). This central aquatic area is a major social and leisure hub.
• Gym and Yoga Room: Residents benefit from a dedicated, modern gym area equipped for fitness training and a separate room for activities like yoga and aerobics, ensuring comprehensive physical well-being.
• BBQ Area: Designated outdoor garden spaces are equipped for family gatherings and social events, allowing residents to host barbecues amidst the beautifully manicured flower gardens and green spaces (approximately 499 sqm of communal gardens are provided).
• Children’s Play Area: A safe, engaging space for children to play, fostering a family-friendly atmosphere within the community.
• Community Hall (Multi-function Room): A large, elegant space available for residents to organize community activities, meetings, and private celebrations.

Safety and Convenience

• Parking Garage: The complex features a secure basement parking level, with a high ratio of parking spaces—often planned for a 1:1 car-to-apartment ratio, a significant luxury in Ho Chi Minh City, ensuring every unit owner has a dedicated car space.
• 24/7 Security: A professional security team and advanced surveillance systems ensure a safe and private living environment.
• Shophouses: The ground and second floors include 17 commercial shophouses, providing immediate and convenient access to essential services such as mini-marts, cafes, and specialized shops, minimizing the need to travel for daily necessities.

Prime Location and External Ecosystem

The location of Cảnh Viên 2 in the Nam Vien Quarter is considered one of the most valuable in Phu My Hung due to its perfect blend of residential tranquility and commercial connectivity.

The Nam Vien area is known as the education hub of Phu My Hung, making Cảnh Viên 2 highly desirable for families with children. The proximity to an array of international schools is a major value driver:
