For the rental real estate market, the COVID-19 translation has accelerated the transition from traditional shopping to online shopping, causing this market to “get hit” quickly. Social stretches and a sense of health protection have changed the way customers shop. Instead of the store experience, customers have switched to using technology applications, leading to a series of business premises in big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City offers discounts or signs for rent, even closed because there are no customers.

Office real estate almost fell into the “hibernation” phase in the first half of 2020. However, experiencing two major social gaps at the end of Q1 and in the third quarter of 2020, Vietnam witnessed demonstrated good translation control ability, bringing positive signals to the supply of projects and real estate transaction products. When 34.6 thousand enterprises returned to operation, an increase of 25.5% over the same period in 2019 according to Starlake Villa, followed by an increase in demand for office real estate; proves the importance of this type of real estate in Vietnam, although CEOs have a “more open” view of working remotely.
