Floor plan design

Court S5 & S6 Sunshine City is considered the most beautiful building of the Sunshine City apartment project because of its advantage at the beginning of the bow, full view of West Lake and low-rise area of ​​Ciputra urban area. The location of S5 – S6 buildings is also right next to the 56-storey Vietinbank Tower – which is considered to be the symbol of the capital’s financial center.

Overall, 2 buildings S5 and S6 Sunshine City are arranged with 15 apartments/floor. Delicately designed to optimize usage area, panoramic view of West Lake, full LowE glass from ceiling to floor. This is one of the most popular apartment design styles in the world, because of its simple yet strong, modern, and equally luxurious architecture…

Apartment design 

Each apartment at Sunshine City has a loggia that ensures natural sunlight and wind, creating a spacious space to help improve health. Flexible design area of ​​1-4 bedrooms, maximum functionality for homeowners.

Elevator system, security cameras, fire safety, electrical system, internet connection… always guaranteed 24/7. Minimalist design, spacious space, cleverly arranged interior and landscape create a luxurious and cozy living space.

Typical apartment floor plan

Most of the rooms are designed squarely. The apartment uses beamless floors and load-bearing walls.

There is no long hallway running straight into the main door of the apartment, so that can be avoided by “stabbing corridor” entering the house, not good in feng shui. The doors of the apartments are not directly facing each other but are arranged at a distance from each other or with a large enough distance. This helps ensure privacy, avoids the feeling of “facing the door”, both avoiding loss of aesthetics and ensuring feng shui.

Lodge The apartments have been designed to meet basic needs. Most apartments have a loggia with enough space to accommodate a washing machine and air conditioner without affecting the living space inside. The location of the loggia is reasonably arranged, usually near the kitchen or living room area, helping to optimize functionality and convenience for equipment installation.

The bedrooms The project is arranged reasonably, ensuring they do not face each other to optimize space and increase privacy. Most bedrooms have large windows facing outside, which helps take advantage of natural light and good ventilation, providing an airy living space. However, some apartments located in the middle of the building have bedrooms deep inside, which may have limited light. The bedroom area is large enough to conveniently arrange a bed, wardrobe and TV. However, in some apartments, the head of the bed may be close to the kitchen or bathroom area, which is not good according to feng shui and can affect the comfort of the user. 

Furniture handed over

Sunshine City Ciputra Tay Ho  Highly appreciated for its classy interior and apartment design. Not to mention gold-plated details, Kohler sanitary equipment imported from Germany, imported furniture, kitchen systems, Daikin wall-mounted air conditioners…

Market analysis 

The data below is referenced from batdongsan.com so the data is just that relative

Sales potential

one year

Over the past year, popular selling prices have increased 42,6%, reaching the level 79.7 million VND/m² in February 2025. This is also the highest price in the last 6 years, showing a stable and strong growth trend of the market. The price curve shows that popular selling prices tend to increase continuously, with stability from October 2024 to February 2025.

In addition, the gap between the highest price, most popular price and lowest price shows that the market is still differentiated, but not too large. This shows that real estate value in this area has good liquidity, and growth is not only concentrated in the high-end segment but also occurs evenly at different price levels.

5 years

Over the past 5 years, popular selling prices have increased by 106.5%, reaching 79.7 million VND/m² in February 2025. This is the highest level in the past 6 years, reflecting the strong growth of the market. Since mid-2022, real estate prices have tended to increase steadily, especially sharply from 2023 to present.

The gap between the highest price, most popular price and lowest price shows that the market is differentiated, but in general it is still following an upward trend. This shows the attractiveness of this area to investors as well as residential buyers.

With sustainable growth momentum and prices at peaks for many years, the Sunshine City project has the potential to attract long-term investors. Those who have bought previously can expect good returns, while new investors need to consider the right strategy to take advantage of future price increases. At the same time, real estate buyers may consider investing early before prices continue to move higher.

Rental potential

The current popular rental price is 18 million VND/month (February 2025), an increase of 4.7% over the same period last year (February 2024). However, this price is still 18.2% lower than the highest peak of 22 million VND/month in February 2024. This shows that the rental market is volatile, with some periods of strong increases but then a decline.

Throughout the past year, popular rental prices fluctuated within a narrow range, without any breakthrough growth. Although there are two price peaks around July 2024 and November 2024, in general prices still remain at an average level and show signs of decreasing in early 2025. Besides, the highest price on the market also has large fluctuations, reflecting changes in demand at certain times.

It can be seen that currently there are many vacant apartments in the Sunshine City project

Compare selling prices with other projects in the same segment.

The data below Golden Lotus data is referenced from batdongsan.com so the data is just that relative

Most popular selling price of Sunshine City in February 2025 reached 79.7 million/m², located at an average level compared to the general level of projects in the Tay Ho area. This price is only slightly higher than Sunshine Riverside (78.3 million/m²) , a little but significantly lower than many other projects. For example, 6th Element (100 million/m²) higher 20.3 million/m², Endless Skyline Westlake (126.8 million/m²) higher 47.1 million/m², and Sun Grand City (139.9 million/m²) higher 60.2 million/m². In particular, high-end projects such as Vinhomes Metropolis – Lieu Giai (165.3 million/m²) and Heritage West Lake (158.6 million/m²) The price is almost double that of Sunshine City.

In general, Sunshine City’s current price is quite competitive compared to other projects in the same area, creating a good opportunity for investors to enter the market at a reasonable cost. Meanwhile, the project’s potential for price increase is still very large, especially when the Tay Ho area continues to develop strongly in infrastructure and utilities. This may be a suitable choice for investors looking for a real estate property with good growth value in the future.

Overall assessment of the project

Recommendations for customers

For residential buyers

Sunshine City This is a project suitable for many different customer groups, from young families to those looking for luxurious and comfortable living spaces. When choosing an apartment to live in, customers need to consider their needs, finances as well as lifestyle to make the most suitable decision.

Choose the appropriate apartment type according to your needs:

• Multi-generational family: You should choose an apartment with 3 or 4 bedrooms with a large area, helping to ensure private space and comfortable living. Corner apartments with large balconies facing wind and natural light will bring an airy and pleasant feeling. In addition, access to internal amenities such as children’s playgrounds, schools, and shopping centers is also a great advantage.
• Young couples or single people: 1 – 2 bedroom apartments are the optimal choice, both ensuring reasonable costs and having a modern, comfortable living space. Apartments with smart designs that make the most of the usable area will help increase the value of living space.
• People who like classy living space and beautiful views: You can consider high-floor apartments with views of the Red River or West Lake, helping to enjoy open space and fresh air. These apartments often have higher value and have the ability to increase in price over time.

Notes on finances and loan plans

• Customers should consider their financial capabilities, including their own capital and the ability to borrow money from banks. Many banks have financial support policies with preferential interest rates for customers buying Sunshine Riverside.
• If using financial leverage, make sure the loan does not exceed 40% of monthly income to avoid financial pressure.
• Consider choosing the right time to buy to take advantage of incentive programs from the investor, such as discounts, free management services in the first year, or interest rate support.

For investors

Sunshine City apartment project has good investment potential thanks to its prime location, synchronous utility system and strong development trend of the West Lake area. However, investors need to have a clear strategy to optimize profits.

Choose a suitable investment form:

• Investment to rent:
  • • Advantage: The Tay Ho area has a large number of foreign experts, senior personnel, pilots and flight attendants working at Noi Bai airport, leading to a huge demand for renting luxury apartments. Sunshine Riverside can become one of the priority choices of this customer group.
    • Suitable apartment type: 2 bedroom apartment often has the highest occupancy rate due to its suitability for foreign experts and small families. A 3-bedroom apartment can rent at a higher price to a narrower pool of potential customers.
    • Expected profit: According to the general average, investment in rental apartments in this area can achieve a profit rate of 5 – 7%/year. If real estate value increases over time, the total profit can be up to 8 – 10%/year.
    • Strategy to increase profits: You can invest in high-end furniture, minimalist or modern style to attract foreign tenants. Provide additional services such as cleaning and maintenance to retain long-term tenants.
• Investment for resale (surfing or long-term):
  • Investing in surfing: For investors with flexible capital flows, taking advantage of rising real estate prices to sell and make quick profits. However, this strategy requires close monitoring of the market to optimize the selling time.
  • Long-term investment: With the West Lake area being in a period of strong development, real estate value in Sunshine City can increase steadily in the medium and long term. Investors should target the apartment segment with popular areas (2 bedrooms) to ensure high liquidity when needing to resell.
