Officially commenced on October 30, 2024, Elysian is developed by master township creator Gamuda Land and constructed by General Contractor Ricons under an EPC scope valued at approximately 2,500 billion VND. Driven by disciplined execution and rigorous construction methodologies, the project successfully reached the topping out of Tower C in September 2025, ahead of the comprehensive project-wide topping out ceremony for all 4 towers on November 5, 2025. Crucially, in May 2026, Gamuda Land officially conferred the prestigious milestone certificate of 2,000,000 Safe Work Hours (Zero Lost Time Injury - Zero LTI) upon the Ricons site management board, highlighting exemplary safety governance and site excellence.
Entering June 2026, on-site construction rhythm at 170 Lo Lu Street, Truong Thanh Ward, Thu Duc City is operating at maximum momentum. Works have fully transitioned from structural reinforced concrete into high-precision architectural facade treatments, vertical Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) infrastructure, non-load bearing autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) apartment partitioning, and ground-level biophilic softscape landscaping.
In accordance with Gamuda Land's phased delivery strategy, Tower A (20 storeys) and Tower C (20 storeys) serve as the flagship residential towers under Phase 1, scheduled for official client handover in late 2026 (Q4/2026). Both structures are currently enveloped in international-standard protective scaffolding mesh to facilitate exterior cement rendering, multi-coat elastomeric waterproofing, and premium exterior acrylic weatherproofing paint.

The facade finishing on Towers A and C undergoes stringent material testing. General Contractor Ricons is applying premium acrylic exterior coatings engineered with UV-reflective pigments, alkaline resistance, and high elasticity designed to resist tropical monsoon temperature fluctuations in Ho Chi Minh City. Concurrently, architectural aluminum frame assemblies paired with dual-layer EPDM acoustic weatherstrips are being systematically installed from lower to higher storeys, assuring complete hermetic resistance against wind-driven torrential rains.
Within residential suites across Towers A and C, internal masonry using AAC lightweight block masonry has achieved 100% completion up to level 19. Specialized engineering teams are actively installing moisture-resistant gypsum false ceiling frameworks, floor screeding, and premium porcelain tile laying throughout living rooms, kitchens, and sanitary quarters. Embedded electrical conduits and copper refrigerant pipework have passed internal quality audits, laying the foundation for final sanitary and lighting equipment hookups.
The following quantitative matrix outlines the technical progress across all 4 residential towers as of June 2026:
| Residential Tower | Structural Concrete | Internal AAC Masonry | Exterior Plaster & Paint | Glazing & Lanai Facade | Floor-level MEP Network | Target Handover Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tower A (20 storeys) | 100% (Topped out) | 98% | 82% | 75% | 85% | Late 2026 (Phase 1) |
| Tower B (21 storeys) | 100% (Topped out) | 88% | 68% | 55% | 72% | Q1/2027 (Phase 2) |
| Tower C (20 storeys) | 100% (Topped out) | 100% | 85% | 78% | 88% |
For Towers B and D, each standing 21 storeys tall, execution strictly aligns with the scheduled Phase 2 handover in Q1/2027. Construction progress within central shafts and vertical utility risers demonstrates synchronized coordination across sub-trades.

Within the central technical courtyard and ventilation lightwells, engineered modular scaffolding platforms support the continuous installation of high-pressure PPR water supply mains, multi-layer noise-attenuating uPVC drainage conduits, and primary electrical busways powering each residential level. Crucially, Elysian's automated active fire suppression systems are fully fabricated according to the updated ministerial standard QCVN 06:2022/BXD. Hot-dip galvanized steel sprinkler main risers have successfully passed static hydrostatic pressure testing across sectors from levels 1 to 16.
Simultaneously, stairwell fire escape pressurization fan shafts and basement corridor smoke extraction ducts are undergoing wiring integration using certified 2-hour fire-rated control cabling. Internal partition blockwork at Towers B and D has achieved over 85% completion, securing dry, enclosed interior zones that enable MEP teams to pull circuit wiring and terminate residential fiber optic distribution boxes without delay.
A core architectural pillar defining Elysian is its Biophilic Design philosophy, emulating the multi-tiered canopy of tropical rainforest ecosystems. Cantilevered Lanai balconies extending between 1.5 meters and 1.8 meters in depth are designed not merely as viewing decks, but as bioclimatic buffers that dramatically mitigate direct thermal radiation from entering apartment interiors.

Atop the residential towers, Ricons is casting slope-creating rooftop screeds, laying high-elongation polyurethane elastomeric waterproofing membranes protected by localized screed layers. These technical rooftop platforms accommodate central stainless steel SUS 304 domestic water storage cisterns, HVAC centralized rooftop condenser decks, stair pressurization fan units, and high-speed variable-frequency traction elevators engineered for smooth, whisper-quiet travel.
Regarding architectural glazing, Gamuda Land and Ricons utilize double-laminated safety glass treated with a high-performance Low-Emissivity (Low-E) coating that reflects up to 95% of solar ultraviolet radiation while ensuring optimal visible light transmittance. Architectural aluminum railings coated with marine-grade thermoset powder paint are engineered to withstand typhoon wind pressures up to Category 12, offering durable safety for individual family pocket planters and hanging biophilic vegetation.
Site activities in June 2026 also center intensely around the ground realm, where over 51% of total site surface is dedicated entirely to greenery, recreational zones, and open water bodies. This footprint is advancing through subterranean utility trenches, buried electrical duct banks, stormwater discharge culverts, and dedicated wastewater treatment tank infrastructure.

The centerpiece of this lifestyle ecosystem is a 1,190 square meter aquatic landscape comprising an Olympic-standard 50-meter lap pool seamlessly adjoined to a meandering tropical Lagoon leisure pool. At present, reinforced concrete slab foundations and perimeter pool basin retaining walls are 100% completed with high-performance structural concrete. Specialized waterproofing applicators are applying two-component crystalline capillary waterproofing coatings, conducting 72-hour hydrostatic water retaining tests prior to the precision installation of emerald mosaic pool tiling.
In harmony with the aquatic zones, the Miyawaki native dense forest biome, featuring over 50 indigenous Southeast Asian tree and shrub species, is undergoing deep organic soil conditioning and planting pit preparation. Multilevel Pocket Sky Gardens nestled at levels 4, 12, and 16 are also completing concrete retention planter beds and automated drip irrigation networks, delivering an anticipated 2 to 3 degrees Celsius microclimate cooling across the residential enclave upon full maturity.

Interior craftsmanship at Elysian Lo Lu underscores Gamuda Land's uncompromising commitment to sustainable green building standards, verified by LOTUS Green Building Certification from the Vietnam Green Building Council (VGBC). Within standard residential suites, General Contractor Ricons has eliminated conventional fired clay bricks, adopting 100% Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) lightweight blocks.
Ricons on-site engineering team constructing AAC lightweight insulated masonry walls and rough-in conduit lines within standard residential units at Elysian.
AAC lightweight masonry delivers dual building physics advantages: dead weight reductions exceeding 50% on structural floor slabs, thermal conductivity suppression that slashes air conditioning electricity bills, and certified acoustic isolation exceeding 40 dB for tranquil private living. Chases for electrical conduits and plumbing lines are grooved using dual-blade vacuum-assisted wall chasers, sealed with polymer non-shrink grout, and reinforced with alkaline-resistant fiberglass mesh prior to skim coating to eliminate hairline wall cracking.
Moisture zones such as bathrooms and Lanai balconies feature 3-tier waterproofing protection, combining polymer-modified cementitious elastomeric coatings, heavy-duty joint corner waterstops, and graded mortar screeds sloping toward floor drains. Every residential unit undergoes strict 48-hour hydrostatic flood tests accompanied by formal engineering sign-off sheets prior to final finish tiling.
Through the lens of institutional real estate advisory, construction pace is not merely an assemblage of concrete and steel, but the most authentic barometer of developer balance sheet liquidity and execution governance.
From a regional infrastructure vantage, Elysian Lo Lu converges directly with the completion cycle of strategic municipal transport corridors across Thu Duc City:
