While location, design and amenities remain important considerations, homebuyers are placing greater emphasis on daily living experiences and a property's ability to retain long-term value. In response, developers are facing higher expectations, with professional property management playing an increasingly important role in preserving and enhancing asset value throughout a development's lifecycle.

This vision has been embedded in Fiato Uptown from the outset. Covering more than 16,500 sq m and comprising 383 apartments and 81 shophouses, the project has been master-planned as a modern mixed-use development that seamlessly integrates residential living with commercial activities. Located within the 9.2-ha Thang Long Home township, Fiato Uptown benefits from an established range of amenities and a vibrant residential community, while offering convenient access to major retail destinations such as Vincom and Gigamall, as well as educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and key transport infrastructure across Thu Duc City.

Beyond connectivity, Thang Long Real Group has prioritised quality of life through thoughtful master planning. With a building footprint of 25-28%, the site is dedicated to landscaped areas, water features and community spaces. Combined with 66% of the Thang Long Home township allocated to green space, the development offers a living environment that balances nature with urban convenience.

Amenities such as meditation gardens, yoga gardens, an infinity swimming pool, outdoor sports facilities, children's playgrounds and relaxation areas have been designed to support healthier lifestyles and foster community interaction. The township's established residential population also provides a built-in customer base for the retail shophouses, supporting commercial activity and enhancing long-term investment potential.

Savills will deliver a comprehensive property management solution covering engineering and technical operations, security and safety, contractor management, financial management, customer service, and risk management. For a mixed-use development with residential apartments and commercial shophouses, Savills will maintain harmony while ensuring that shared facilities, landscaping, and common areas are operated safely, efficiently, and consistently.

Energy management and sustainability are another core component of the operational strategy. Savills will oversee the efficient use of electricity, water, and building systems to optimise operational performance while implementing waste segregation, recycling initiatives, and environmental management practices aligned with ESG principles. Landscaping, greenery, water features, and outdoor amenities will be maintained regularly to preserve the green living environment that has been one of Fiato Uptown's defining values since the planning stage.

To enhance operational efficiency and the resident experience, Savills will deploy Property Cube, its proprietary property management platform, to digitalise day-to-day operations. The platform centralises engineering, asset, financial and customer service management, while enabling residents to submit service requests, make online payments, book facilities and receive updates through a dedicated mobile application. By leveraging technology, Savills aims to improve operational transparency and efficiency while delivering a more seamless and connected living experience.

Vu Thi Nhu Xuan, Senior Director, Property Management, Savills HCMC, commented: "A property's value is ultimately defined by how it performs over time. We believe Savills property management expertise will help maintain high living standards while safeguarding long-term value at Fiato Uptown."

Savills Vietnam's appointment at Fiato Uptown highlights the increasing role of professional property management in shaping the long-term success of residential developments. As the market matures and buyer expectations evolve, effective property management is becoming essential to maintaining project quality, enhancing the resident experience and sustaining asset value over time.
