After the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam’s office leasing market has been reshaped toward more flexible, adaptable workspaces. Traditional options — large, long-term fixed leases — are gradually giving way to cost-optimized solutions that can adjust quickly. Offices are no longer just fixed investments; they have become part of a dynamic workplace strategy that evolves with each growth stage.

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, 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.
