Q1 2015 | HCMC OVERVIEW
KNOWLEDGE REPORTHO CHI MINH CITY
www.colliers.com/vietnam
The highest y-o-y real GDP growth rate over the last six years
Despite improving domestic demand, external
conditions were relatively weak. Exports in 1Q 2015
increased at a slower rate than the same period
last year. This will possibly put pressure on the
foreign exchange. The slower rise of Purchasing
Manager Index (PMI) published by HSBC in March
has raised concerns about the sustainability of
the manufacturing momentum. Recent decline in
international arrivals is another issue, which would
negatively impact the retail and services turnover.
Some concerns

Y-O-Y REAL GDP GROWTH RATE
Source: Vietnam, HCMC Statistics Offi ce , Colliers International
The Vietnamese economy started 2015 on a strong
note. The real GDP growth rate expanded by 6.0%
y-o-y in 1Q 2015, the highest ever seen during the last
six years. This positive result was largely contributed
by the expanding manufacturing and construction
(8.4% y-o-y, double the pace in 1Q 2014). The forecast
of Vietnam’s GDP growth rate was revised upwards,
reaching 6.5% in 2015.
In line with the country’s improving economy, HCMC
recorded a y-o-y growth of 8.0%, 0.3 percentage
points higher than the same period last year.
Inflation rate (CPI) has been reined back. March’s
CPI increased by 0.2% m-o-m, sending the CPI in the
review quarter of 0.7% y-o-y, the lowest pace during
the last ten years. The slow increase CPI will allow
the SBV room to further cut the interest rates. This is
expected to support the real estate market.

Two shopping centres came online
HCMC welcomed two new shopping centres including
Vincom Thu Duc in Thu Duc District and Saigon Square
3 in District 3. The projects have added to the retail
market nearly 32,000 sqm GFA. Although they have just
been opened, the occupancy rate reached 70%.
MARKET PERFORMANCE BY AREA, Q1 2015

Best performance was the retail podium
The retail podium in Q1 2015 proved positive
performance in terms of both occupancy rate and
rental rate as this retail type is located in mix-used
developments. Consequently, it gets benefit from to
high consumption from residents and employees of
in those buildings. The occupancy rate of the retail
podium increased from 86.4% in Q4 2014 to 90.7% in
Q1 2015 while the asking rent slightly rose to US$54.5/
sqm/month.
The shopping centre reviewed a different story. Both
occupancy and rents slightly declined compared to
the same period last year. The new open of Vincom
Thu Duc partly contributed to the reducing rents as
the project is located in the outlying district. This
translated into the average rent of US$39.4/sqm/month
and the occupancy of 91.3%.
Department store maintained its asking rent of US$52/
sqm/month but showed a rising vacant space in non-
CBD’s retail development in the review quarter.
The market has recently observed some retail operators
utilized spaces along the entrance, elevators to lease to
tenants with low rents. This helped increase revenue
but contributed to the falling average rents.
Good performance recorded at retail podium
While international retailers bought some local retail
developments in districts like 5, 10, 11, Tan Binh and
Phu Nhuan, the others have restructured floor layout
to draw attentions of F&B, entertainment as well as
English centres. Among the others are Satra Pham
Hung and Saigon Superbowl.

Although the retail podium performed positively in Q1 2015, it is anticipated that landlords / developers of retail developments
in District 2 need to adjust their the rental rates to attract new tenants and to keep the old tenants because of huge supply from
mixed use projects which will be launched in the coming years.
SC Vivo City by Mapletree and its partner will be opened in District 7 in Q2 2015. Although the development has not been
officially launched, the occupancy rate has reached nearly 70%.
Although the current occupancy rate are relatively high, further adjustments to the rents are expected to compete with the regional
cities like Bangkok, Manila, Phnom Penh. This will allow the HCMC retail market a promising destination.

Demand still looks positive
Th e demand for offi ce space is expected to increase
steadily considering prospective economic growth in the
coming quarters. Whilst there will have no major changes
in rental rate at the existing buildings in city centre, leasing
conditions will be fl exible due to an asking rent of newly
buildings as well as requirements on between current
tenants and new clients.
GRADE A OFFICE PERFORMANCE, Q1 2015
Grade B showed a some improvements while Grade A was quite steady
In general, the offi ce market did not show signifi cant
changes in both CBD and non-CBD districts in the review
quarter due to the lack of leasing activities caused by the
end of the fi scal year.
However, slight increase in asking rents were recorded
at Grade B offi ce building thanks to the rising newly
established companies. Most of these companies are local
small-medium enterprises who cannot afford rents of
Grade A buildings but require good locations in the city
centre. Rents of some Grade B buildings which have good
locations in the city centre and have the rent of US$20-25/
sqm/month were full occupied.
Meanwhile Grade A offi ce buildings remained fragile.
Some Grade A buildings are facing fi erce competition
from lately quality buildings. Although the project has not
been offi cially opened yet, Le Meridien was fully occupied.
Similarly, thanks to a reasonable rent, Vietcombank Tower
which will come online in Q2 2015, has attracted many new
international companies, over 60% of the offi ce space was
leased.

Colliers ViewOfficetel from residential projects will become more popular in 2015. And this will have certain impacts on the office market in
decentralized districts as it is suitable for small-, medium-companies as well as representative office with small budget.
Rents in mature office buildings are likely to be stable while newly completed office buildings will offer competative rents to
attract occupiers.

Steady improvements in pricesSupported by the fast sales rate and recovering market,
both primary and secondary prices increased slightly
on both q-o-q and y-o-y basis. The high-end segment
recorded the strongest growth as most of new high-end
projects have strategic locations where the accessibility
is easy and there are high potential for leasing and
reselling.

New launches remained strong run on a y-o-y basis
Q-O-Q LAUNCHED UNITS
New launches in Q1 2015 declined by 36.3% q-o-q to
4,545 units in light of the long traditional year-end lull.
However, the figure showed a y-o-y growth of 98.6%. Many
of these projects were cleared years ago without launch
until January 2015. These signals obviously indicated
developers’ strong confidence in the recovering market.
The high-end segment remained the largest proportion
(61.1%) and was followed by the affordable segment.
Continued increase in sales volume
On the back of the improving market confi dence and
acceptable prices, Q1 2015 recorded approximately 4,360
transactions, increasing by 82.2% y-o-y. Most of transactions
recorded at newly launched projects. Compared to Q4 2014,
sales volume witnessed subdued activities as the lack of new
launches driven by holiday season which almost kicked off
the second half of February.
Despite the overall sales volume decrease on a q-o-q basis,
the high-end segment continued to increase in sold units
thanks to the strong return of investors.

Colliers ViewAlthough the condominium market in Q1 2015 was relatively less buoyant than the preceding quarter in terms of newly
launched projects and sales volume, these two indicators remained positive growth compared to the same period last year.
This subdued activities could be mainly due to seasonal factor i.e. the year-end festive (Tet) period. It is expected that busy
activities will be back in Q2 2015 with the rise of launched units and transactions.
The high-end segment remained a large a proportion of both new launches and sold units thanks to the return of buyers
especially investors. The improving infrastructure, legal frame and product quality and prices will continue to support the
recovering residential market.
While developers of high-end projects will focus on project locations, design and in-bound facilities, developers in the
affordable segment will try to offer price below VND15 million per sqm and to obtain the credit package of VND30,000
billion (US$1.42 billion) to support their potential home buyers.
