Luxury apartment prices soar in Hanoi amid supply shortage
The supply of luxury apartments in central Hanoi is becoming increasingly scarce, pushing starting prices to new highs.
Oakwood Worldwide, wholly owned by Mapletree Investments has announced the upcoming opening of their second property in Ho Chi Minh City.
Set to be operational in April 2018, Oakwood Residence Saigon, the first Oakwood serviced apartment developed by Mapletree in Vietnam is part of the Saigon South Place.
Saigon South Place is a 4.4-hectare integrated mixed-use project master-planned and developed by Mapletree.
The development comprises SC VivoCity, a 64,250sqm shopping mall, Mapletree Business Centre, a 17-story Grade A office tower, Oakwood Residence Saigon and a high-rise residential block RichLane Residences.
There are also plans for two more commercial towers in the precinct.
“Vietnam has been experiencing robust economic growth and with international arrivals and domestic travel expected to continue on a growth trajectory, it is an opportune time for us to grow our presence in the country,” said Dean Schreiber, managing director, Oakwood Worldwide in Asia Pacific.
Preceded by Oakwood Apartments Ho Chi Minh City, which opened in December 2016 in District 3, Oakwood Residence Saigon is located in the city’s fast growing urban center of Phu My Hung in District 7, and adjacent to SC VivoCity and Mapletree Business Centre.
Boasting 237 units ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments, Oakwood Residence Saigon offers guests fully furnished serviced apartments for both short and long stays.
An ideal residence for families and groups, facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, children’s playground, barbeque pavilion, residents’ lounge, car park, an on-site restaurant, as well as versatile multi-function meeting rooms.
The supply of luxury apartments in central Hanoi is becoming increasingly scarce, pushing starting prices to new highs.
Vietnam's hospitality industry is undergoing a major transformation with a brand repositioning strategy that emphasizes unique, sustainable, and community-focused experiences.
High demand and limited supply drive transactions in major urban areas despite soaring costs.
Despite the real estate market's lackluster performance, several companies are accelerating land acquisition efforts.
Hanoi is set to receive a significant future supply of over 100,000 apartments starting from 2025, a tenfold increase compared to the current availability.
Hanoi’s apartment prices are expected to continue rising until supply and legal bottlenecks are resolved, according to experts.
