Flexible workspaces are redefining Vietnam’s office leasing market after the COVID-19 pandemic. Traditional large, long-term fixed leases are steadily giving way to cost-optimized, easily adjustable solutions. Offices are no longer seen as fixed investments but as part of a dynamic workplace strategy that evolves with each stage of business growth.
In 2025, the rise of flexible working models continues strongly. These spaces are designed to support both on-site and remote work, while short-term offices, coworking spaces, and shared environments gain popularity. More and more companies — from large corporations to startups — are choosing environments that can scale up or down with ease.
1. Market Background & Key Data
- Premium & Flexible Demand Surge: Strong increase in demand for high-quality, adaptable office space.
- Occupancy Rates in Ho Chi Minh City: Grade A offices reached 88% occupancy (around VND 1,320,000/m²/month), while Grade B reached 89% (around VND 760,000/m²/month) (Cushman & Wakefield, Q2/2025).
- Flexible & Coworking Leasing: Accounts for 25% of all new transactions — up 15% from 2024 — with 20 new coworking centers opening (Thanh Nien Newspaper, 2025).
2. Why Flexible Spaces Are Leading the Market
Flexible workspaces are not just a trend — they’re a key driver for companies seeking agility, cost efficiency, and creativity in the new work era.
2.1 Outstanding Cost Savings
Companies save 30–50% by paying only for the area they actually use. No major upfront investment in furniture, no long-term binding leases — optimized budgets and cash flow.
2.2 Easy Scalability
Expand or shrink office space on demand. Flexible contracts reduce risk and enable fast roll-outs for logistics firms, startups, or companies opening new branches.
2.3 Hybrid Work Support
Flexible offices naturally support hybrid work models, combining remote and on-site setups. Teams can be arranged by project or function, boosting efficiency and employee experience.
2.4 Creativity & Networking
Open designs and diverse business communities foster inspiration. Staff can connect, learn, and innovate — ideal for startups and foreign-invested companies (FDIs).
2.5 Green & Sustainable Trend
Eco-friendly workspaces use renewable energy and sustainable materials. This improves employee well-being, elevates corporate image, and aligns with sustainable development goals.
