According to the plan, Thu Thiem station has an area of about 17 hectares, located between two major roads including Mai Chi Tho Avenue and Luong Dinh Cua Street (An Phu Ward, Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City).

Thu Thiem Station is planned to serve three major railway lines including the North-South high-speed railway, Thu Thiem-Long Thanh railway and Metro Line 2 Phase 2 (Ben Thanh-Thu Thiem). This will also be the final station of the North-South high-speed railway.
According to records, at present, the area reserved for Thu Thiem station has been fenced and fenced off carefully. The land is clean, mainly vacant land and swamp, ready for the project to be implemented.
It can be seen that the location of Thu Thiem station is very favorable. This station area is not only convenient for transportation but also close to Thu Thiem New Urban Area, one of the most modern and potential urban areas of Ho Chi Minh City.
Around Thu Thiem station, many large-scale projects such as high-rise apartments and complex urban areas are being developed, contributing to creating a comprehensive urban appearance for the area.
According to the plan, the Ministry of Transport will be primarily responsible for detailed planning and implementing related projects here, to ensure the feasibility and effectiveness of the project.

The North-South high-speed railway through Ho Chi Minh City will run parallel to the Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh - Dau Giay expressway, passing through An Phu intersection before entering Thu Thiem station.
The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport has proposed that the Ministry of Transport carefully study design options to optimize traffic connections at these important traffic points.
At the same time, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport also proposed that the Ministry of Transport focus on planning Thu Thiem station to become the central station for both the North-South high-speed railway and the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh route, ensuring synchronization with metro line 2 phase 2 (Ben Thanh - Thu Thiem).
The Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway route is being studied by the Ministry of Transport, with investors in contact, with the possibility of being implemented as a PPP or ODA project.
It is expected that in 2024, the project will be approved in principle with a length of about 36km and an investment of about 3.4 billion USD. The expected completion time of the entire route is before 2030.
According to the plan, the Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway line will start at Thu Thiem station (An Phu ward), Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City, and end at Long Thanh airport (Dong Nai province).
The Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway line is being studied with 20 stations, including the station in Long Thanh airport. The depot is located east of Long Thanh airport, in Song Nhan commune (Cam My district, Dong Nai province).
The North-South high-speed railway project passes through 20 provinces, with the starting point at Ngoc Hoi station (Thanh Tri district, Hanoi), and the ending point at Thu Thiem station (Thu Duc city, Ho Chi Minh city).
According to the proposal of the Ministry of Transport, the North-South high-speed railway will have the capacity to serve about 133.5 million passengers/year (for North-South trains).
Each year, this high-speed railway will serve about 106.8 million passengers (for passenger trains); the North-South high-speed railway will transport about 21.5 million tons of goods/year (not including the capacity of 18.5 million tons/year of the existing railway).
