Lake Tower at Grand Marina: The 47-Floor Marriott Building of Phase 2

Among the four towers of Grand Marina Saigon at Ba Son, District 1, the Lake tower holds a unique place: it is the only building carrying the Marriott brand (while Lagoon, Cove and Sea carry the higher-tier JW Marriott brand). Lake belongs to Phase 2, completed and handed over since March 2023, so buyers today can view real, lived-in units and transact on the secondary market right away. This article is a deep dive into Lake specifically — distinct from the residences overview page that covers all four towers.

Which tower is Lake at Grand Marina?

Lake is the Marriott-branded residential tower, 47 floors (176.4m), part of Phase 2 at Grand Marina Saigon, handed over since March 2023.

Unlike the three Phase 1 towers (Lagoon, Cove, Sea) handed over in December 2023, the Lake tower was the first to be completed across the entire project. Lake's structural construction finished in 2022, and by March 2023 the first residents began receiving their units. This is why Lake is often regarded as the "opening act" for Vietnam's first Marriott Branded Residences.

Lake tower specifications and development team

Lake Tower rises 47 floors / 176.4m on a 15,723.8m² plot, with interiors by HBA and construction by Newtecons.

• Floors / height: 47 floors, 176.4m
• Land plot: 15,723.8m² (Phase 2)
• Sub-developer: Hưng Phát Investment
• Interior design: HBA — one of the world's leading hospitality interior design firms
• Main contractor: Newtecons
• Handover: 03/2023
• Operating brand: Marriott (the "Prime Collection")

The fact that HBA is behind Lake's interiors is notable: this is the firm responsible for interiors at a long list of luxury hotels worldwide, so the finish standard of Lake's residences carries a distinct "five-star hotel turned into a home" spirit. The developer of the whole project is Masterise Homes; if you want to understand its track record and background, read Masterise Homes Profile: Developer of Grand Marina.

Prime Collection — Lake's own collection

Prime Collection is the name of the Marriott-branded apartment collection in the Lake tower, distinct from the "Legacy Collection" of the JW Marriott towers (Lagoon, Cove, Sea).

Put simply for first-time buyers: Grand Marina Saigon has two brand "lines." The Lake tower carries the Marriott brand and is called the Prime Collection; the other three towers carry the JW Marriott brand (a tier above within the Marriott family) and are called the Legacy Collection. The difference lies in the operating brand and finishing details, but both lines are serviced under Marriott International management.

Lake tower unit mix

The Lake tower offers 1BR, 2BR, 3BR, Dual-Key and Penthouse units, plus many Officetel units — diverse enough for both living and investing.

Below is the Lake tower's unit mix per the project documents (percentages of the tower's total units):

This mix shows that the Lake tower leans toward mid-sized units (1BR–3BR) and notably carries a large pool of Officetel units — suiting both owner-occupiers and buyers who want to lease out. The Dual-Key line in particular (one unit with two separate doors and zones) draws investor interest because you can live in one half and rent out the other. Note: exact quantities and areas can change per sales phase and secondary availability, so please confirm via Zalo 0903 475 802.

Handover standard and interiors

Lake tower units are handed over fully fitted to Marriott standard, with Poggenpohl/Boffi kitchens, Miele/Gaggenau appliances and Daikin VRV air conditioning.

• Marble / premium engineered-wood flooring
• Poggenpohl / Boffi branded kitchens with Miele / Gaggenau appliances
• Toto / Duravit / Hansgrohe sanitaryware
• Daikin VRV central air conditioning
• Imported double-glazed doors and app-based smart-home system

The core appeal of a branded residence is that you receive a "move-in ready" home — you don't have to shop for a kitchen or bathroom fixtures yourself. With Lake handed over since March 2023, this is no longer a promise on paper but something you can come and inspect in person.

Indicative pricing and ownership

Lake units are indicatively priced from roughly 400–600 million VND/m² depending on type; foreigners may own for 50 years, with a 30% cap on units per building for foreign buyers.

Because the Lake tower is already handed over, most transactions today happen on the secondary market (resale from current owners). Indicative figures per the project price list:

These are indicative numbers that change with every transaction — secondary prices depend on floor level, view (river or city), interior condition and timing. On the legal side, Vietnamese buyers receive a long-term pink book; foreigners may own for 50 years (renewable under Vietnamese law) within the 30% per-building cap for foreign buyers. According to Knight Frank and Savills (recent-year reports, 2023–2024), branded residences are typically priced 25–35% above comparable non-branded apartments — this is a market reference, not a promise of returns; actual outcomes depend on the specific project, timing and policy.

How Lake compares with the other towers

Lake is the Marriott tower (Prime Collection), while Cove, Lagoon and Sea are JW Marriott (Legacy Collection) — differing in brand, height and handover wave.

If you're weighing the towers against each other, the key difference is the operating brand and certain design details. The Cove tower is taller (184.2m) with interiors by AB Concept (Hong Kong) — read Cove Tower Grand Marina: JW Marriott 184m by AB Concept. The Lagoon and Sea cluster adds Marriott-branded Officetel units — see Lagoon & Sea Towers: JW Marriott Plus Officetel. All towers are handed over and occupied, with Marriott concierge service actually operating.

Each tower has its own edge in view, price and brand — to pick the right unit for your budget, let's talk directly.
