Vietnam’s capital city was crowned for its CBD grade A office yield for the third time since January 2017, followed by Manila, Adelaide, Ho Chi Minh City, and Perth in the top five.

Ho Chi Minh City, which was a runner-up previously, dropped to number 4 with market yield at 7.36%. 

Hoang Nguyet Minh, investment manager at Savills Hanoi, said that Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are among markets that offer the highest yields globally, showing healthy rent and occupancy prospects for the cities. 

Ho Chi Minh City enjoyed its best performance over the last five years with average rents increasing 8% on year and occupancy rate of 97%, while Hanoi recorded a 3% on-year average increase in gross rent in Q4/2018 and steady occupancy rate of 95% with improved Grade A performance in non-CBD areas.

Pointing out investment prospect of Vietnam’s cities, Minh said that these markets have been drawing significant interest from international investors, Singapore, Japanese, and Korean in particular. 

According to Savills Research in previous office yield spectrum publications, Hanoi and HCM City witnessed a downward trend of yields from second half of 2015 to second half 2018. This was caused by the limited supply of available office development for sale, which has resulted in more aggressive bidding prices from buyers, driving yields further downward. 

Office sector is currently a seller’s market in Vietnam; in other words, if you are an office development owner, now is a good time to sell, Minh said.

Over the last five years, real estate remained a popular asset class with investment volume increasing in many segments, according to Savills Vietnam.
