GDP
The World Bank’s latest update highlighted that Vietnam is expected to enjoy strong growth of 6.6 percent in 2021. The rapid
suppression of the Covid-19 outbreak in late January 2021 helped maintain Vietnam’s positive outlook for economic recovery
in 2021. Emphasis should be given to how the Covid-19 vaccinations are rolled out domestically and globally and the support
of the Vietnamese government in providing fiscal and monetary support.
CPI
The CPI increase can be attributed to the increase in price of rice by 8.55 percent year-on-year from January to March due
to rising global price and high demand for premium rice during the Tet holidays. The increase in prices of several main
groups of goods and services pushed up the costs of catering services by 2.08 percent year-on-year. On the other hand,
the Vietnam Electricity (EVN)’s power bill cut in the second and fourth quarters of last year caused the electricity price to
decline 7.18 percent in January, which contributed to a CPI decrease of 0.24 percentage points. The average petrol and oil
prices in Q1 fell by 9.54 percent year-on-year, making the three-month CPI to drop 0.34 percentage points.
FDI
Foreign investors pumped capital in 17 sectors, of which the highest is in processing and manufacturing with over 5 billion
USD (49.6 percent), followed by power production and distribution with 3.9 billion USD, real estate with 600 million USD, and
science-technology with 167 million USD. Long An lured a significant amount of FDI contributed by a 3.1 billion USD Singapore-
invested project to build gas-fuelled power plants Long An I and II.
Retail Sales
Domestic trade and freight transportation showed positive signs, showing that consumer demand increased again. Freight
transport reached 472.6 million tons of transported goods, up 10.2% compared with the same period last year. The
transportation of international passengers and foreign travelers to Vietnam continues to face difficulties.
International Arrivals
While domestic tourism has bounced back well from the third wave of Covid-19 pandemic in February, international arrivals
and tourism spending is crucial for Vietnam’s economy. A representative from the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Association
said the implementation of a “COVID-19 vaccine passport” would aid in tourism recovery. National flag carrier Vietnam
Airlines is working with partners from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on a digital health passport project
and pilot the IATA Travel Pass app, that allows travelers to store and manage certifications for COVID-19 tests or vaccines,
which will be an important basis for international aviation activities to restart.
Trade Balance
For exports, phones and components earned the largest export value, reaching 14.1 billion USD, accounting for 18.2%
of total export turnover, up 9.3% over the same period last year, followed by electronics, computers and components
reached 12 billion USD, up 31.3%; machinery, equipment, tools and spare parts reached 9.1 billion USD, up 77.2%. The
United States was Vietnam’s largest export market with a turnover of 21.2 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 32.8%;
followed by China with 12.5 billion USD, up 34.3%. For imports, the electronics, computers and components reached
16.8 billion USD, accounting for 22.3% of total import turnover and up 22% over the same period last year, followed by
machinery, equipment, tools and spare parts reached 10.8 billion USD, up 30.7%. China was still Vietnam’s largest import
market with a turnover of 23.8 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 47.3%; followed by South Korea with 13 billion USD,
up 9.9%.

Two notable new office buildings in Hanoi
and Da Nang
Ho Chi Minh City
There were no new launches in the first quarter of 2021. In
the next 3-5 years, Thu Duc City is expected to supply the
market with an additional 400,000 sqm of office space,
especially from the Thu Thiem area. The quality of buildings
are given special attention to achieve international standards,
such as LEED and Lotus, and developers of existing buildings
are taking active steps towards enhancing their buildings to
compete with upcoming projects.
Hanoi
The first quarter of 2021 welcomed a new grade A project
named Thai Building which provides 25,950 sqm to the
market. Located in Cau Giay district, it shows that developers
are gradually moving quality office buildings away from the
CBD, where land fund is abundant yet still provides easy
access to the city center and residential areas. The Techno
Park Tower located in Vinhomes Ocean Park Gia Lam that will
supply more than 115,000 sqm of office space by end 2021
further highlights the trend of new office spaces moving out
of the CBD area.

Continued gradual recovery in key cities
Ho Chi Minh City
After a turbulent 2020, the Ho Chi Minh City office market
recorded an average asking rental rate increase in Grade A
and Grade B segments of 2% year-on-year. This was
supported by the state issuing many policies to support
businesses and to encourage foreign investment. It is a
significant improvement from 2020 when many tenants
returned office spaces, moved to lower segment offices, or
switched to lease cheaper spaces in other districts.

Hanoi
While the office market in Hanoi was affected in 2020 due to
the pandemic, it is continuing its gradual recovery, fueled by
high demands from companies in the technology industry,
including from FinTech, e-commerce, software development
and data centers. Overall, there was an increase in asking
rents of 4.6% in Grade A segment and 2.8% in Grade B
segment y-o-y.
While the Hanoi market has mainly focused on developing
strongly in the West, the East of the Red River has started
rising recently, including Long Bien, Gia Lam, Dong Anh,

Da Nang
Overall, the average occupancy rate remained high and
increased by more than 6% q-o-q. Demand for office space
in Da Nang is expected to grow strongly in the future as Da
Nang is attracting many high-value FDI projects and recorded
new business registrations. The average rental rates have
also been increasing, whereby the Grade B segment achieved
the fastest growth.

Physical office unlikely to be threatened
by alternative working models in the near
future
Compared to neighboring countries, Vietnam had a relatively
short lockdown period and most companies continued face-
to-face interaction throughout the majority of 2020.
Occupancy rates and rental rates in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi
and Da Nang have been recovering well after the initial
setback in the first half of 2020 owing to the Covid-19
pandemic. The abundance of investment and business
opportunities in Vietnam has continued increasing interest
from foreign investors and is likely to spur office demand in
key cities.
Co-working spaces in Vietnam are likely to continue its
upward trajectory alongside the traditional office spaces.
Given its flexible lease terms and low costs, it can cater to a
wide range of clients from individuals to corporates, and are
especially appealing to millennials and the burgeoning
number of startups in Vietnam.
Office - Outlook
On the other hand, the pandemic has presented the
possibility of a traditionally niche office segment, and that is
the virtual office. Virtual office providers help tenants register
an official address in their building and provide services like
receiving physical mail. The Covid-19 pandemic showed
everyone the possibility of working from home or working
remotely. Furthermore, in this current business climate,
many millennials are very entrepreneurial and are starting
their own businesses. These new businesses only need to
register an official address in an office building and work
anywhere they want, be it at home or at cafes. This provides
an opportunity for office buildings which are not doing so
well to improve their performance. With the marginal cost of
providing the service to another virtual office tenant being
negligible, this creates even more upside potential for the
office buildings.

Limited new supply in Q1 but steady
pipeline for 2021
Ho Chi Minh City
In Ho Chi Minh City, there was no new supply recorded in the
market in this quarter. It is expected that there will be more
than 200,000 sqm of retail space in 2021 when the projects
are completed. New supply will concentrate in the East and
where metro line 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien) passes. In the
North of Ho Chi Minh City, the completion of construction of
the World Trade Center Binh Duong New City Expo in
February 2021 that is now awaiting an official opening will
certainly bring more attention to Binh Duong, and it has
already caught the eye of Central Retail Group (Thailand),
which recently proposed to the leaders of the People’s
Committee of Binh Duong province about the implementation
of the largest commercial center project in Vietnam.

The World Bank’s latest update highlighted that Vietnam is expected to enjoy strong growth of 6.6 percent in 2021. The rapid
suppression of the Covid-19 outbreak in late January 2021 helped maintain Vietnam’s positive outlook for economic recovery
in 2021. Emphasis should be given to how the Covid-19 vaccinations are rolled out domestically and globally and the support
of the Vietnamese government in providing fiscal and monetary support. CPI
The CPI increase can be attributed to the increase in price of rice by 8.55 percent year-on-year from January to March due
to rising global price and high demand for premium rice during the Tet holidays. The increase in prices of several main
groups of goods and services pushed up the costs of catering services by 2.08 percent year-on-year. On the other hand,
the Vietnam Electricity (EVN)’s power bill cut in the second and fourth quarters of last year caused the electricity price to
decline 7.18 percent in January, which contributed to a CPI decrease of 0.24 percentage points. The average petrol and oil
prices in Q1 fell by 9.54 percent year-on-year, making the three-month CPI to drop 0.34 percentage points. FDI
Foreign investors pumped capital in 17 sectors, of which the highest is in processing and manufacturing with over 5 billion
USD (49.6 percent), followed by power production and distribution with 3.9 billion USD, real estate with 600 million USD, and
science-technology with 167 million USD. Long An lured a significant amount of FDI contributed by a 3.1 billion USD Singapore-
invested project to build gas-fuelled power plants Long An I and II. Retail Sales
Domestic trade and freight transportation showed positive signs, showing that consumer demand increased again. Freight
transport reached 472.6 million tons of transported goods, up 10.2% compared with the same period last year. The
transportation of international passengers and foreign travelers to Vietnam continues to face difficulties. International Arrivals
While domestic tourism has bounced back well from the third wave of Covid-19 pandemic in February, international arrivals
and tourism spending is crucial for Vietnam’s economy. A representative from the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Association
said the implementation of a “COVID-19 vaccine passport” would aid in tourism recovery. National flag carrier Vietnam
Airlines is working with partners from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on a digital health passport project
and pilot the IATA Travel Pass app, that allows travelers to store and manage certifications for COVID-19 tests or vaccines,
which will be an important basis for international aviation activities to restart. Trade Balance
For exports, phones and components earned the largest export value, reaching 14.1 billion USD, accounting for 18.2%
of total export turnover, up 9.3% over the same period last year, followed by electronics, computers and components
reached 12 billion USD, up 31.3%; machinery, equipment, tools and spare parts reached 9.1 billion USD, up 77.2%. The
United States was Vietnam’s largest export market with a turnover of 21.2 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 32.8%;
followed by China with 12.5 billion USD, up 34.3%. For imports, the electronics, computers and components reached
16.8 billion USD, accounting for 22.3% of total import turnover and up 22% over the same period last year, followed by
machinery, equipment, tools and spare parts reached 10.8 billion USD, up 30.7%. China was still Vietnam’s largest import
market with a turnover of 23.8 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 47.3%; followed by South Korea with 13 billion USD, up 9.9%.

Figure 2: Hanoi Office, Average Asking Rent and Occupancy Rate
After a turbulent 2020, the Ho Chi Minh City office market
recorded an average asking rental rate increase in Grade A
and Grade B segments of 2% year-on-year. This was
supported by the state issuing many policies to support
businesses and to encourage foreign investment. It is a
significant improvement from 2020 when many tenants
returned office spaces, moved to lower segment offices, or
switched to lease cheaper spaces in other districts.

Overall, the average occupancy rate remained high and
increased by more than 6% q-o-q. Demand for office space
in Da Nang is expected to grow strongly in the future as Da
Nang is attracting many high-value FDI projects and recorded
new business registrations. The average rental rates have
also been increasing, whereby the Grade B segment achieved the fastest growth.

While the office market in Hanoi was affected in 2020 due to
the pandemic, it is continuing its gradual recovery, fueled by
high demands from companies in the technology industry,
including from FinTech, e-commerce, software development
and data centers. Overall, there was an increase in asking
rents of 4.6% in Grade A segment and 2.8% in Grade B segment y-o-y.
While the Hanoi market has mainly focused on developing
strongly in the West, the East of the Red River has started
rising recently, including Long Bien, Gia Lam, Dong Anh, Source: Colliers Vietnam

Quarterly Knowledge Report | Quarter 1 2021 | Vietnam 7 Office - Outlook
Physical office unlikely to be threatened
by alternative working models in the near future
Compared to neighboring countries, Vietnam had a relatively
short lockdown period and most companies continued face-
to-face interaction throughout the majority of 2020.
Occupancy rates and rental rates in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi
and Da Nang have been recovering well after the initial
setback in the first half of 2020 owing to the Covid-19
pandemic. The abundance of investment and business Photo 5: The Executive Center
opportunities in Vietnam has continued increasing interest
from foreign investors and is likely to spur office demand in key cities.
Co-working spaces in Vietnam are likely to continue its
upward trajectory alongside the traditional office spaces.
Given its flexible lease terms and low costs, it can cater to a
wide range of clients from individuals to corporates, and are
especially appealing to millennials and the burgeoning
number of startups in Vietnam. Photo 4: Dreamplex
On the other hand, the pandemic has presented the
possibility of a traditionally niche office segment, and that is
the virtual office. Virtual office providers help tenants register
an official address in their building and provide services like
receiving physical mail. The Covid-19 pandemic showed
everyone the possibility of working from home or working
remotely. Furthermore, in this current business climate,
many millennials are very entrepreneurial and are starting
their own businesses. These new businesses only need to
register an official address in an office building and work
anywhere they want, be it at home or at cafes. This provides
an opportunity for office buildings which are not doing so
well to improve their performance. With the marginal cost of
providing the service to another virtual office tenant being
negligible, this creates even more upside potential for the office buildings.
