Hanoi’s total stock for retail was approximately 1.3 million square meter, up 1.2 per cent quarter-on-quarter and 6.0 per cent year-on-year. Nearly 19,000 square meter was added from three new retail podiums.
Savills noted that the average ground floor rents decreased by 2.0 per cent quarter-on-quarter. The occupancy rate maintained its upward trend with 2.6 ppts quarter-on-quarter growth. Both the shopping center segment and the secondary trade area saw the most improved quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year occupancy rates.
Thirteen new projects are scheduled to launch in 2018, which are expected to provide 229,000 square meter. The West area of Hanoi is seeing robust development of real estate projects.
In comparison, according to Savills, the total stock of HCMC was approximately 1.2 million square meter, nearly equal to Hanoi, with 24,200 square meter added from three new supermarkets and one shopping center opening. Three closures withdrew 11,100 square meter.
The average gross rent decreased by 3 per cent quarter-on-quarter. The average occupancy rate slightly decreased by 1ppt, lower than one of Hanoi in all three segments. The rents in the region outside central business districts (non-CBD area) decreased in the face of surplus supply to safeguard the occupancy rates.
Essensia Parkway makes significant impact in the high-end real estate market as 100 per cent of the limited collection was successfully registered within just a few hours at the launching event with the theme “Live lux-well, in a truly refined world”.
Essensia Parkway is set to mark a significant milestone as the first branded residences project in Ho Chi Minh City to be operated by WorldHotels – one of the finest portfolios of independent hotels and resorts within BWH Hotels.
While the average price of apartments in Hanoi has reached new heights, with supply primarily concentrated in the premium and luxury segments, there are still no signs of a price slowdown.
Vietnam's hospitality industry is undergoing a major transformation with a brand repositioning strategy that emphasizes unique, sustainable, and community-focused experiences.
