A long break of Victory and May Day slows down activities of office market in April.
Renewal leasing contract are major enquiries that we received from international clients during last month.
We foresee a moderate pick up from office leasing activities during the latter half of this year given improving economic scenes.
The average asking rents is expected to remain fairly flat over the next couple months while the rental growth pace is going to be
low in compared to the previous year.

Market Performance
Overall, the CBD office market maintained stable tendency
though no major transaction was recorded in the reviewed
month.
Asking rents of Grade A went down slightly while median
rental for Grade B keep unchanged in comparison to March.
We saw decrease of vacancy rate from CBD prime buildings,
though it’s marginal in several Grade B developments.
Meanwhile, regardless current stable condition with
moderate gain in business sentiment, property owners
stay cautious in the market. They are flexible to offer
more incentives to entice tenants beside tight rental rate
structure.

During April, the average rental rate of three retail segments
covering retail podium, department store and shopping mall
were generally flat.
Department store saw stable occupancy rate while that of both
retail podium and shopping center recorded declines for fourth
month in-a-row since the begin of 2014.
A long 5-day break at the end of April did not bring efficient
foot traffic to CBD retail centers due to out-of-town travel
options from city residents. Meanwhile, major shopping places
lengthened promotion programs regardless low effectiveness.
Last month, Vingroup introduced its subsidiaries, Kids World
and Vinmec Clinic, at Vincom Center. Occupied almost all 2F
and 3F, this 5,000sq. m section showed change in landlord’s
strategy in enhance purchasing power by centralise same
category tenants.

Ho Chi Minh City’s CPI (Consumer Price Index) continues
downward trend in April, fell by 0.04% against the previous
month, according to the HCMC Statistical Office.
In effort to adjust tenant mixes toward improving occupancy,
operators of CBD retail centers now welcome unanchored
tenants from health care services, home furniture and kids
playground. Given large space requirements, these retailers are
expected to sufficiently fulfill current empty areas in downtown
shopping centres.

Operators of top-tier hotels in city center loosen room rate in
order to anticipate downward tendency in coming months.
We saw a stablity in occupancy rate from 4- and 5-star hotel
developments within CBD area in April given a minor increase in
vacancy rate while peak travel season is over.
The average room rate (ARR) of both segments declined last
month. 4-star hotels drop almost 10% in ARR while that of 5-star
also decreased 6%.

It is showed that strong competition from hotel and apartment for
lease sectors hold off investment in HCMC serviced apartments,
especially in downtown areas. The latest serviced apartment
development in CBD was launched since 2011 while pipeline of
new projects are delayed since the end of last year.
Hence, we predict there will be no big change in this market
section throughout this year.
Outlook
Both Grade A and B serviced apartments in CBD recorded firm average asking rent in recent months. Although occupancy rate of
two segments slightly fall in April, the sufficient median rates, approximately 90% and 80% for Grade A and B respectively, support
landlords in retaining current rental structure.
