VIETNAM | 3Q14 | ECONOMIC UPDATE
Following Colliers inspection, there will be no new top-tier
serviced apartment supply in HCMC to the end of the first
quarter of 2015.
Colliers View
The serviced residence market saw an upward trend from
Asian clients given growing cash flow from Asia investors due
to similar market nature and better investment yields.
Whilst, under recent global recession, it could be seen
that demand from US and Eurozone markets decreased
moderately. However, Western clients remain to be a
noticeable target group who willing to spend money for
high class and large-sized apartment.
Regarding significant increase of Asian customers, requirement for
central convenient and efficient-sized serviced unit is forecasted to
surgeinthefuture.

Colliers View
As a result of supply shortage in coming time, both average rental
and occupancy rate of top-tier serviced apartment is expected to
be stable with possibility of change at larger margin in response to
business strategy of the developers.
Beside, private flat together with convention buildings will remain
the direct competitive sector to serviced residence in HCMC in
not only price but also location.
