Office Market Overview

5. HCMC CBD MARKET REPORT
FEBRUARY 2014 | RETAIL MARKET
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in HCMC increased slightly 0.4%
in January regardless a shopping peak period for Tet holiday.
HCMC’s total retail sales and service revenues reached 59,490
billion VND last month, reported by General Statistics Office
(GSO).
Although Vietnam is still considered as a potential retail market
given high population and gradually growing income per capita,
local consumers have a tendency to minimize expenses in the
context of economic crisis. Hence, we foresee tough year for
retail market in 2014.
Under the agreements of the World Trade Organization, which
Vietnam has become an official member since 2007, as of
January 2015, local authority will grant 100% foreign capital for
businesses set up by foreign investors. In addition, by joining
the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), there will be no
import tax for high quality products from the United States and
Japan including textile and garment categories.

Retail Market Overview

unchanged.
Shopping mall segment experienced stable month in both

HCMC CBD MARKET REPORT
FEBRUARY 2014 | HOTEL MARKET
During January 2014, approximately 382,000 international
tourists visited HCMC, an increase of 12% over the same period
last year. Of the figure, around 79% came through air routes
while most of the remain used land transporation.
Tourists from Korea, Japan, USA, Canada and Viet Kieu were
major sources of foreign visitors to HCMC in Tet.
It is expected that 2.2 million domestic travelers arrived HCMC
last month, a 10% year-on-year gain.
However, from this time forth the growth pace is estimated to
slow down as it is on the other end of the peak travel season.
Hotel Market Overview
Outlook
There are 13 5-star hotels in Ho Chi Minh City including 12
located within CBD area and Movenpick in Phu Nhuan District
with over 4,000 rooms. The number of offered rooms is
considered to be efficient to the market demand. Hence, we
expect Average Rental Rate of 5-star hotel segment will be flat
during this year.
Top-tier hotel segment is strongly competed by daily offer from
serviced apartments at better rate and similar services. It is
shown that frequent business-travel persons prefer serviced
apartments as short-term accomodation, especially those
located in CBD area.

FEBRUARY 2014 | SERVICED APARTMENT MARKET
Serviced apartment in HCMC was in idle period throughout
holiday seasons.
Operators of serviced apartments projects are flexible in offering
short-term and even daily rate to retain occupancy rate by
providing more options to tenants.
Times Square is the most probable serviced apartments projects
within CBD area that can come online this year.
Outlook
Monthly average rental rate of Grade A serviced apartments stayed flat in January while the occupancy rate went up 2% m-o-m,
mostly contributed by new take-up at Lancaster apartments.
Meanwhile, developers of Grade B serviced apartment buildings kept the rents unchanged though vacant rate rised 1% during last
month.
