1. What should a business prepare before an office inspection?

Set the budget, headcount and area requirement before visiting an office. Without these inputs, the inspection can become a subjective tour in which the viewer is unduly influenced by how the premises are presented.

Before the inspection, prepare:

• Maximum monthly occupancy budget: Include service charges and value-added tax (VAT).
• Workforce plan: Record current headcount and the expected workforce over the next two to three years.
• Mandatory requirements: Examples include electrical load, parking allocation and after-hours access.
• Questions for the landlord: Use one written list for every building.
• Scoring sheet: Bring a printed form or a mobile version that can be completed on site.

Once the criteria are clear, plan how many properties to inspect, when to visit and who should attend. This makes the information more complete and easier to compare.

• Number of buildings: Shortlist three to five buildings that already meet the budget and location requirements. This creates a useful comparison without consuming unnecessary time.
• Inspection times: Visit once during business hours to observe normal operations and once during the morning or afternoon peak to assess traffic and lift queues. If the business works late, inspect the building in the evening as well.
• Inspection team: Include an administration representative, an IT representative and the budget decision-maker because each person will focus on different risks.
• Equipment: Bring a laser measure, a phone with an internet-speed testing application, and a camera or phone to record the premises.

2. Office inspection checklist covering seven assessment groups

To compare several options fairly, evaluate every building against the same criteria. For each group, record the inspection item, actual result and priority instead of marking only pass or fail.

These weights are a reference for standardising the comparison. A technology company may place more weight on technical systems, while a client-facing business may increase the location weighting.

2.1 Location and transport

Assess the location by the real accessibility experienced by employees, clients and partners. A central address is not necessarily convenient if congestion is frequent, drop-off is difficult or vehicle access is restricted during peak periods. Inspect major routes, traffic direction and connections to the areas from which employees regularly travel.

After confirming access, inspect the quality of the building’s internal infrastructure because it directly affects employees’ daily operations.

2.2 Building and shared infrastructure

Shared infrastructure should be tested for practical capacity rather than judged by the appearance of the façade or lobby. Lifts, parking, reception and management capability all affect the office experience. For final shortlisted buildings, revisit at a busy time to test lift and parking capacity.

If shared infrastructure meets the requirement, inspect the leased premises to determine whether the space is genuinely suitable for the workforce and operating model.

2.3 Actual area and physical space

The floor area in the quotation must be understood using the building’s measurement method. Ask the landlord to define the chargeable area, private-use area and any allocation of common areas.

• Centre-line area: Measured to the centre line of enclosing or dividing walls under the applicable method.
• Clear internal area: The space within the surfaces surrounding the usable premises.
• Net or usable area: The area defined as the tenant’s private-use space under the building’s measurement approach.

Depending on the building, rent may be charged on Net area or Gross area that includes an allocation of common space. Confirm the loading factor and record it in the lease.

Area requirements should reflect headcount, meeting rooms, management rooms, pantry and growth during the lease. Use an appropriate office size standard and distinguish Net area from Gross floor area before comparing quotations.

2.4 Technical systems

After the floor plate meets the area requirement, inspect the technical systems because many deficiencies are difficult to correct after signing and fit-out. An IT or technical representative should attend the final inspection where the business has substantial server, electrical, after-hours or backup-connectivity requirements.

For connectivity, verify network operators, cable-routing capability and a backup-line option rather than relying solely on Wi-Fi speed during the visit. Extend the review from technical infrastructure to day-to-day building operations, especially security, cleaning and incident response.

2.5 Security amenities and building management

Building-management quality is most visible in daily operating procedures. Review visitor access, security rosters, cleaning of common areas and the incident-reporting process. Ask management for specific information on issues that can directly affect operations.

Once operating capability is assessed, translate each technical and service item into cost. A building with a low base rent can still exceed the budget when its total monthly occupancy cost is calculated.

2.6 Costs beyond base rent

The quoted rent does not represent the full budget throughout occupancy. Convert every option into the same monthly total-cost scope. The quotation should state each charge, unit and condition.

When comparing buildings, convert regular charges into one monthly figure. Review office rental service fees, overtime office usage fees and other hidden office leasing costs on the same basis.

2.7 Legal documents and lease terms

Before paying a deposit or signing, verify the landlord’s legal capacity and the documents supporting the right to lease in the relevant circumstances. The internal legal team or a qualified adviser should confirm the required document list.

• Rights over the property: Documents supporting ownership, use rights or lawful authority to lease.
• Building documents: Legal documentation relevant to the property and the transaction scope.
• Contracting party: Corporate and signatory information for the party executing the lease.
• Authority: A valid authorisation document if the person or entity dealing with the tenant is not the direct contracting party.

Prepare the documents required for office leasing in Vietnam and compare the commercial proposal with the final office lease agreement.

3. How to score and compare several buildings

Score each assessment group from 1 to 5 and multiply the score by its weight. The formula is: total score = Σ (group score ÷ 5 × group weight), with a maximum of 100.

Illustrative example for three hypothetical buildings:

In this example, Building A ranks highest because of its location and technical systems even though its cost score is only average. Building B performs well on cost but scores lower on operations and floor-space criteria.

Adjust the weights to the business model:

• Technology companies and contact centres: Prioritise electrical load, internet, air-conditioning and after-hours operation.
• Client-facing companies: Increase the weight for location, building image and reception.
• Cost-controlled occupiers: Increase the weight for total occupancy cost and commercial terms.
• Growing companies: Prioritise area, expansion capacity and floor-plate flexibility.

The score supports the decision but does not replace verification. The right to lease, legal documentation, fire safety and mandatory technical requirements should be checked separately before negotiations proceed.

4. What should a business ask the landlord and building management?

Ask specific questions about items that affect cost, operations or the lease, and record the answers in writing. This reduces inconsistencies between the inspection, quotation and final agreement.

• Rent and costs: Does the rent include service charges and VAT? What does the service charge include? Can it change? How is after-hours air-conditioning charged? How many parking spaces are allocated? Which fit-out or operating charges can arise?
• Technical systems: What electrical capacity is supplied? Can it be increased? Which network operators are installed? What are the air-conditioning hours? What does backup power serve? What fire-safety requirements apply to layout changes and fit-out?
• Operations: What are the building hours? How is overtime registered? How are visitors registered? Who handles incidents? When may furniture moves and fit-out work take place?
• Lease: What is the minimum term? When and how does rent change? What are the renewal conditions? What obligations apply on early termination? What is the reinstatement standard? How are repair responsibilities divided?

5. Common mistakes during an office inspection

Inspection errors often arise because different buildings are assessed using different standards. One option may be judged on price while another is judged mainly on location or image. A single checklist reduces this bias and highlights matters that still require verification.

For shortlisted options, maintain three lists: confirmed, requiring confirmation and requiring negotiation. This separates verified information from points still under discussion.

6. When should a business use an office inspection adviser?

A business can organise its own inspection when the requirement is simple and the internal team has relevant experience. Specialist support is useful when there are many options or complex technical requirements because it can standardise the data and reduce processing time.

Consider using an adviser when the business:

• Commits significant area or term: The financial and operational exposure is material.
• Leases for the first time or relocates its headquarters: The team may lack comparable transaction experience.
• Needs to inspect many buildings quickly: The adviser can coordinate viewings and use one comparison format.
• Has specialist operating requirements: Examples include high electrical load, resilient internet, security or overtime work.
• Needs a total-cost comparison: All options can be placed on the same commercial basis.
• Needs support with quotations and negotiations: Unclear costs and conditions can be identified before commitment.

Maison Office supports requirement definition, building shortlisting, inspection scheduling, quotation consolidation and option comparison. After the shortlist is agreed, the advisory team can help clarify costs and commercial conditions for negotiation with the landlord.

7. What should a business do after inspecting the office?

After the inspections, consolidate and score every building using the same criteria, focusing on area, cost, technical systems, operating conditions and lease terms. Record unclear information separately and request written confirmation from the landlord or building management.

Reduce the list to one to three viable options and compare total occupancy cost, layout capacity, commercial terms and unresolved issues before negotiation.

Recommended sequence: Consolidate data → Score the options → Select the preferred buildings → Obtain leasing proposals → Calculate total cost → Clarify terms → Negotiate → Review the lease.

Classify the information for each preferred option as:

• Confirmed: Supported by documents or written evidence.
• Requiring confirmation: Missing or unclear cost, technical, legal or operating information.
• Requiring negotiation: Rent, rent-free period, escalation, renewal, early termination and other commercial terms.

Proceed to negotiation and contract review only after material information has been clarified. Compare the lease against the quotation, leasing proposal and earlier written discussions to identify discrepancies before signing.

The next steps should follow a structured office leasing process and a checklist of essential tasks when renting a new office.

8. Frequently asked questions

8.1 How long does an office inspection take?

A preliminary inspection usually takes 30–60 minutes per building. An office with complex technical or legal requirements may need one or two additional sessions. Allow time for a second visit during peak hours.

8.2 How many buildings should a business inspect before deciding?

Inspect at least three buildings to compare price, area and lease conditions. Viewing more than five can dilute the criteria and delay the decision. Pre-filter by budget and location so every visit is commercially viable.

8.3 How much space is required for an office with 20 to 50 employees?

The required area depends on workstation density, meeting rooms, management rooms, pantry and workforce growth. Estimate the range from the operating model before beginning inspections rather than applying one universal figure.

8.4 How can a tenant confirm that the office area matches the quotation?

Ask for the measurement method and compare the quoted figure with the landlord’s floor plan. A laser measure can provide an approximate on-site check. Confirm the chargeable area and any common-area allocation in writing before signing.

8.5 Which legal documents should be checked for an office building?

Verify the landlord’s identity and authority, the right to lease and relevant building documents within the transaction scope. If the signatory or representative does not directly hold the leasing right, clarify the authorisation. A legal team or qualified professional should confirm the final document list.

1. What does office leasing cost optimisation mean?

Office leasing cost optimisation is the process of controlling the full budget incurred throughout the lease. It includes base rent, service charges, air-conditioning electricity, parking, office design and fit-out, and reinstatement at the end of the term. The objective is to select an option with a reasonable total cost that meets the actual requirement and limits expenditure outside the plan.

A business should therefore assess area, location, floor efficiency, handover conditions, rent escalation and contractual flexibility together. An effective office option balances cost, functionality, employee experience and the company’s long-term development plan.

2. Formula for calculating the actual total cost of an office

A reliable comparison must include every cost over the lease term. Converting the figures into total occupancy cost and cost per workstation allows the business to compare buildings, office formats and handover conditions on the same basis.

2.1 What costs make up total office occupancy cost?

Total office occupancy cost normally falls into four groups:

• Recurring lease costs: Base rent, service charges, value-added tax and fixed contractual charges.
• Operating costs: Electricity, air-conditioning, water, internet, parking, maintenance and after-hours use.
• Initial investment: Deposit, design, fit-out, furniture, equipment and relocation.
• End-of-term costs: Removal, repairs, cleaning and reinstatement required by the landlord.

A security deposit is cash tied up during the lease and is generally refundable if the tenant meets its contractual obligations. It should still be included in the initial cash-flow plan, even though it is not a final expense when refunded in full.

Review hidden office leasing costs before comparing offers.

2.2 Total office cost formulas

Monthly office cost = Base rent + Service charges + Electricity, water and air-conditioning + Parking + Internet and other amenities + VAT

The source provides the following hypothetical example for a 150 sqm traditional office in central Ho Chi Minh City:

Full-term cost = Monthly office cost x Number of lease months + Initial investment + Incidental costs + Reinstatement cost – Incentives

Incentives may include rent-free periods, fit-out support or agreed fee reductions. The deposit belongs in initial cash-flow planning but should not be treated as a cost if it is fully refunded at the end of the lease.

3. Eight effective ways to optimise office leasing costs

The budget should be assessed across space, location, building type, handover conditions, lease provisions and operating costs. The lowest quoted rent may still be inefficient when the premises require extensive fit-out, carry high service charges or use space poorly.

3.1 Determine the correct area

Area affects rent, service charges, fit-out, air-conditioning electricity and reinstatement. Calculate the requirement from current headcount, recruitment plans and the functional spaces the business needs. A hybrid business can base workstation numbers on regular office attendance instead of assigning a permanent desk to every employee.

Use a practical office size standard when planning workstations and support areas.

3.2 Select a location around business needs

The right location balances rent with the value it creates for operations. Assess five factors:

• Clients: Distance to clients, partners and the company’s main transaction areas.
• Employees: Travel time and commuting convenience for most staff.
• Transport: Connections to major roads, metro, buses and airports.
• Amenities: Banks, restaurants, hotels, administrative services and retail.
• Brand: Whether the office address is consistent with the company’s positioning.

A business that receives few clients may reduce costs by choosing a well-connected location outside the core centre without weakening day-to-day operations.

3.3 Choose the right building Grade and office format

Each building Grade and office format serves a different requirement. The business should avoid paying for a higher specification than it uses or selecting an office model that lacks the flexibility required by its workforce plan.

3.4 Compare total cost instead of rent

Put every option into one cost comparison covering recurring rent and service charges, electricity, air-conditioning, internet and parking; design, fit-out, furniture, equipment and moving; escalation, overtime and early-termination charges; and end-of-term removal, repairs and reinstatement. This exposes offices with low quoted rent but high fit-out or operating costs, inefficient floor plates or difficult reinstatement duties.

3.5 Negotiate provisions that create real value

Negotiation should cover the terms that materially affect the total budget, not only the rental rate:

• Rent-free fit-out period: Agree the number of days or months before rent starts.
• Service charges before operation: Request a waiver or reduction during fit-out.
• Fit-out support: Define any landlord contribution or handover work.
• Deposit and payment schedule: Align cash requirements with the implementation plan.
• Escalation: Set the review cycle and increase mechanism clearly.
• Expansion and renewal: Record renewal and priority rights for additional space.
• Flexibility: Where available, negotiate conversion, contraction or early termination rights.

Every incentive should appear in the offer letter and lease so the negotiated commercial value is enforceable.

See also: how to negotiate an office lease.

3.6 Reuse the existing condition to reduce fit-out costs

An office with usable ceilings, floors, lighting, meeting rooms or furniture can shorten preparation time and reduce upfront investment. Inspect the existing condition, functional suitability and the capacity to modify electricity, air-conditioning and fire safety systems. Confirm which assets are included, who maintains them and what must be reinstated at lease expiry.

A regular floor plate with few columns, an efficient core and an existing layout close to the requirement generally creates better value than a cheaper but inefficient shell.

Understand the scope and timing of an office fit-out before accepting the premises.

3.7 Control operating costs throughout the lease

Track electricity, air-conditioning, parking, internet, maintenance and overtime charges regularly. Ask the building for the complete fee schedule and calculation method during the inspection, then compare monthly invoices with the agreed basis and investigate abnormal increases.

3.8 Optimise workplace operation and resources

Review workstation, meeting-room, common-area and equipment utilisation. Shared seating, layout changes, converting underused areas, zoning lighting and air-conditioning, using natural light and switching off equipment in vacant zones can reduce operating costs. Utilisation data also supports decisions to expand, contract or renew.

4. Mistakes that increase office leasing costs

• Comparing quoted rent only: Ignoring service charges, air-conditioning electricity, parking, internet, overtime and other operating costs understates the real budget.
• Leasing more area than required: Surplus space increases rent, management fees, fit-out, energy use and reinstatement obligations at the same time.
• Choosing the wrong Grade or office format: A specification above the requirement or a model with insufficient flexibility makes the company pay for facilities it rarely uses.
• Ignoring chargeable area and floor efficiency: Columns, difficult floor shapes and a high common-area loading reduce the space available for actual work.
• Under-budgeting design, fit-out and reinstatement: A low-rent office can become expensive when extensive work or strict reinstatement is required.
• Negotiating rent alone: The tenant may lose rent-free time, service-charge reductions, fit-out support, escalation caps and space-adjustment rights.
• Failing to plan for workforce changes: A long lease without expansion, contraction or break options can become costly when the business plan changes.
• Not monitoring costs during occupation: Unchecked invoices, overtime fees and poor space utilisation allow unnecessary costs to continue.

6. Frequently asked questions about office cost optimisation

6.1 How can a business reduce office leasing costs?

Start with the correct area, location and building Grade, then compare total cost rather than rent alone. Negotiate rent-free time, service charges, escalation and handover conditions, and control operating costs throughout the lease.

6.2 How much office space should be allowed per employee?

The source uses a range of 3-10 sqm per person. High-density offices use about 3-4 sqm, standard offices 5-6 sqm, and spacious offices with more meeting and amenity areas 7-10 sqm per person.

6.3 Is a serviced office cheaper than a traditional office?

A serviced office often suits small businesses, representative offices or changing teams because upfront investment is low and many services are included. A traditional office may be more efficient for a stable business with a long lease and a need for bespoke branding.

6.4 Which office costs can be negotiated?

Rent, rent-free periods, service charges during fit-out, deposit, payment schedule, escalation and landlord fit-out support may be negotiable. Renewal, expansion, contraction and early termination rights should also be discussed.

6.5 How should two office options be compared?

Put rent, service charges, air-conditioning electricity, parking, internet, fit-out, furniture and reinstatement into one full-term budget. Compare the total financial result rather than only the rate per sqm.

1. Comparing office lease renewal and relocation

Renewing the current office and relocating to new premises each have advantages and limitations. The right option depends on total cost, implementation time, operational disruption, the ability to meet workspace needs and the company’s development plans.

In the short term, renewal usually has an advantage in cost and stability. Relocation may deliver better long-term value when the current premises no longer support headcount, operating standards or the company’s development strategy.

Do not compare headline rent per sqm alone. Calculate the full occupancy cost, including rent, service charges, refurbishment and office fit-out, overlapping rent, moving costs and reinstatement of the former premises. A structured office leasing process makes these alternatives easier to compare on the same basis.

2. When should a business renew its current office lease?

A business should prioritise renewal when relocation costs are high, the location remains suitable for employees and partners, and the workspace has not become overcrowded.

2.1 The space still meets operating needs

Renewal may be preferable when the current area can support work, meetings, client reception and operations throughout the next lease cycle. The assessment should consider actual usable area, layout efficiency and whether the layout can be adjusted when required.

Factors to review include:

• Workstations: Enough seats for employees who regularly work in the office
• Functional areas: Sufficient meeting rooms, private offices, reception space, pantry, storage and collaboration areas
• Space efficiency: The area is used logically, without substantial unused or hard-to-plan zones
• Adaptability: The premises can be changed for new requirements without excessive cost
• Expansion: Adjacent space or a larger floor within the building may be available as the business grows

If the office is likely to meet demand for the next three to five years, renewal usually produces better value than investing in a new location. The company’s office size requirements should be checked against its expected headcount and working model.

2.2 Headcount is expected to remain stable

Renewal is suitable when the business does not expect major changes in employee numbers, departmental structure or working model during the next lease term.

The forecast should cover:

• Recruitment and headcount-reduction plans
• The proportion of employees working from the office
• The extent of hybrid or remote working
• Plans to create new departments or business units
• The number of contractors, temporary staff and visitors
• Potential mergers or corporate restructuring

When headcount remains stable, retaining the current office helps the business avoid surplus space or the cost of a larger office that will not be fully used. If headcount is expected to rise sharply or contract substantially, the company should test the premises’ capacity before committing to a long renewal.

2.3 The location remains convenient for employees and clients

Office location has a lasting effect on recruitment, employee experience and client access. A business can remain in place when the location still provides good connectivity and does not create material operating constraints.

Review the following criteria:

• Accessibility: Convenient access by motorbike, car or public transport
• Commute time: Reasonable for where most employees live
• Business connectivity: Close to clients, partners, banks, government offices or key business districts
• Parking: Adequate capacity for employees and visitors
• Nearby amenities: Restaurants, banks, hotels, shopping centres and other necessary services
• Visibility: An address that is easy to find and convenient for deliveries and client visits

For a business already associated with its current address, renewal also maintains continuity across transactions, legal records, recruitment and brand communications.

2.4 The building still supports operations

Renewal is appropriate when the building’s technical systems, management services and amenities continue to meet operating requirements. This judgement should be based on the tenant’s experience throughout the lease, not solely on the building’s Grade.

Inspect:

• Lift systems and peak-hour waiting times
• Air-conditioning, ventilation and indoor air quality
• Backup power and performance during power outages
• Internet, telecommunications and server-room infrastructure
• Security, access control and CCTV
• Fire prevention and firefighting standards
• Cleaning and maintenance of common areas
• Management response times when incidents occur
• Rules for overtime work and after-hours air-conditioning
• Capacity to meet the company’s specialist technical requirements

If existing issues are isolated and the landlord commits to rectifying them, the company can include those commitments in the renewal addendum to make responsibility and completion dates clear.

2.5 Total occupancy cost remains reasonable and competitive

The business should assess total occupancy cost rather than rent alone. Relevant items include rent, service charges, tax, parking, air-conditioning electricity, after-hours office usage fees, maintenance, refurbishment and periodic rent escalation.

Renewal is reasonable when the total cost reflects the quality received and is not materially above comparable buildings in the market. Cost per workstation should also be calculated for a more accurate view of space efficiency.

2.6 Better renewal terms can be negotiated

Renewal is an opportunity to review every commercial condition instead of carrying the old lease forward unchanged. An existing tenant may have some negotiating advantage because the landlord can avoid vacancy, remarketing time and brokerage costs. The company should prepare for office lease negotiations with market evidence and clear priorities.

Potential negotiation points include:

• Rent aligned with current market conditions
• A cap on periodic rent escalation
• Reduced or unchanged service charges
• Rent-free time for refurbishment
• A landlord contribution to repairs or upgrades
• A revised security deposit
• Priority rights to lease additional area
• The right to move to another area within the same building
• Assignment or subletting rights
• An early-termination clause subject to agreed conditions
• Priority renewal rights for the next lease cycle
• Clear landlord repair and maintenance responsibilities

If the landlord accepts favourable conditions, renewal may give the business more flexibility while reducing transition risk.

2.7 The business prioritises cash-flow stability

Renewal suits businesses that want to limit major short-term capital expenditure and direct funds to core operations. It can reduce the deposit, design and fit-out, transport, overlapping rent and reinstatement costs, particularly when the current furniture remains usable. The business should still weigh these savings against long-term operating costs and future growth requirements.

2.8 No better alternative is available

A business may renew when it has not found another office that meets its location, area, cost, infrastructure and handover requirements at the same time. If alternative premises do not offer better overall value, remaining in the current office preserves operational continuity and avoids unnecessary transition costs.

3. When should a business relocate to a new office?

Relocation is appropriate when the current office is overcrowded, the location no longer works for employees or partners, or the current lease is approaching expiry and a stronger alternative is available.

3.1 The office is overcrowded

When headcount increases without a corresponding increase in area, the office can run short of workstations, meeting rooms and expansion capacity. If the premises are difficult to reconfigure or the building cannot provide more space, the business should begin looking for an office suited to its three-to-five-year growth plan.

3.2 The proposed rent increase is not justified

A business should consider moving when the proposed rent is materially above the market or does not reflect the quality of the premises and services. Before deciding, compare total occupancy cost across buildings of the same Grade, area and handover condition, then negotiate rent, incentives and related terms.

3.3 The location is affecting recruitment and operations

Office location directly affects access for employees, clients and partners. A location that once worked may become restrictive as the company changes its target market, headcount or operating footprint.

Consider relocation when:

• Most employees face long commute times
• The area has frequent congestion or weak transport links
• Candidates decline roles because the office is inconvenient
• The building cannot provide adequate parking
• The office is far from clients, partners or important business areas
• Nearby amenities do not support work or client meetings

For sectors that compete heavily for talent, including technology, finance, consulting and professional services, a convenient location can support recruitment, retention and operating efficiency.

3.4 The building is deteriorating or its infrastructure is outdated

Overloaded lifts, unstable air-conditioning, limited backup power, poor internet or declining building management can directly disrupt operations. If the landlord has no clear upgrade plan, moving to a building with stronger technical standards may be the better option.

3.5 The business needs to reposition its brand

A company may relocate as it enters a growth phase, expands into new markets or seeks to upgrade its brand image. A stronger location, professional building and modern workspace can improve client reception, support recruitment and present the company’s position more clearly.

4. Points to review before renewing an office lease

Before signing an addendum or new lease, review the cost, commercial conditions and the office’s ability to support the next cycle.

• Check the renewal notice period: Confirm the contractual deadline so the business does not lose priority rights or enter negotiations from a weak position.
• Reassess space requirements: Forecast headcount, working model and area needs for the next three to five years before committing to a new term.
• Survey market rents: Compare rent, service charges, incentives and handover conditions among buildings of the same Grade, area and size.
• Calculate total occupancy cost: Include service charges, parking, after-hours air-conditioning, refurbishment, rent escalation and other operating expenses.
• Review the premises: Inspect the fit-out, air-conditioning, electricity, internet, fire safety, lifts and any items requiring repair.
• Negotiate the renewal package: Discuss rent, rent-free refurbishment time, upgrade support and a lower deposit where appropriate.
• Control rent escalation: State the escalation rate, effective date and adjustment basis clearly in the lease.
• Add flexible provisions: Consider expansion, contraction, relocation within the building, assignment, subletting and early termination rights.
• Clarify repair duties: Specify the landlord’s responsibilities, incident-response timing and handover standards after any works.
• Keep an alternative: Continue surveying selected offices to test the renewal proposal and maintain negotiating leverage.

5. Points to review before moving office

Before moving, prepare the budget, programme, contracts and operating plan carefully to reduce additional costs and business disruption.

• Define the new requirement: Set the area, workstation count, location, building Grade, budget and technical criteria before surveying the market.
• Forecast headcount: Calculate three-to-five-year demand, including recruitment, hybrid work and possible departmental expansion.
• Budget the full move: Allow for the deposit, design, fit-out, furniture, transport and incidental fees in addition to rent and service charges.
• Review termination terms: Confirm notice, payment obligations, the deposit and all conditions for surrendering the current premises.
• Clarify reinstatement: Confirm demolition scope, reinstatement standards, working hours, after-hours fees and responsibility for remaining assets.
• Limit overlapping rent: Coordinate handover, fit-out and relocation to avoid paying for two offices for an extended period.
• Check handover conditions: Confirm the condition, handover date, rent-free period and each party’s fit-out responsibilities.
• Assess infrastructure: Inspect electricity, air-conditioning, internet, lifts, fire safety, parking and after-hours rules.
• Build a detailed move plan: Assign an owner, phase the programme and prioritise critical teams to maintain business continuity.
• Update corporate information: Plan changes to the registered address, invoices, bank accounts, website, legal records, signage and transactional documents.
• Notify employees and partners early: Provide sufficient notice, the new address, travel instructions and the new-office working plan.
• Prepare for delays: Maintain a contingency plan if fit-out, inspection, infrastructure installation or handover falls behind schedule.

A detailed new-office task checklist helps assign owners and sequence the work before relocation begins. Include hidden office costs in the financial comparison rather than treating rent as the full budget.

6. Evaluation table for renewal and relocation

Use the table below to compare the two options against important criteria. Score each criterion from 1 to 5, where a higher score means the option is a better fit.

Scores should be based on actual data, including the renewal quotation, refurbishment costs, relocation costs, market availability and workforce plans. The higher-scoring option is usually the stronger overall fit, but give additional weight to criteria that directly affect operations, such as area, total cost, location and technical infrastructure.

If the totals are similar, continue negotiating with the current landlord and inspect more alternatives before deciding. A consistent set of office-space evaluation criteria will make the comparison more reliable.

7. How early should the evaluation begin?

Start evaluating renewal or relocation about 9-12 months before the lease expires. For a large office, complex technical requirements or a decision requiring several approval levels, begin 12-18 months in advance.

12-18 months before expiry: Assess long-term demand

• Forecast headcount and the working model
• Check whether the current area can meet future demand
• Review the contractual renewal-notice deadline
• Set the budget and leasing criteria for the next cycle

9-12 months before expiry: Survey the market

• Request a renewal proposal from the landlord
• Review market rents and availability in the area
• Shortlist suitable alternative offices
• Prepare an initial stay-versus-move cost comparison

6-9 months before expiry: Negotiate and select an option

• Negotiate rent, service charges and renewal terms
• Inspect shortlisted alternatives
• Calculate total rent, refurbishment, moving and reinstatement costs
• Submit the options for management approval

3-6 months before expiry: Complete implementation

For a renewal, sign the addendum or new lease and agree on any repairs or refurbishment. For a relocation, complete contracting, design, fit-out, inspection and the physical move.

Early preparation preserves negotiating leverage, leaves enough time to compare options and reduces the risk of accepting an unfavourable rent or lease condition near expiry.

9. Frequently asked questions about renewing or relocating an office

9.1 Is renewing an office lease cheaper than relocating?

Renewal usually reduces design, fit-out, moving and reinstatement costs. However, the business must also consider the new rent, service charges, refurbishment and rent escalation over the next lease cycle to identify the genuinely lower-cost option.

9.2 Should a business inspect other offices before renewing?

Yes. Inspecting comparable buildings provides current evidence on rent, supply, incentives and handover conditions. That evidence also strengthens negotiations with the present landlord.

9.3 How early should a business look for a new office?

Begin evaluation and the office search about 9-12 months before expiry. For a large area, complex technical requirements or several approval levels, allow 12-18 months.

9.4 Which office-moving costs are often overlooked?

Commonly missed items include overlapping rent, reinstatement of the former office, after-hours fit-out fees, service-lift fees, asset transport, new signage and changes to the registered business address. Include a contingency reserve to control unplanned expenditure.

9.5 Can the lease be renegotiated at renewal?

Yes. A business can renegotiate rent, service charges, the deposit, escalation, rent-free time and repair responsibilities. Flexible conditions covering expansion, contraction, assignment and early termination should also be considered.

2. Overview of the Cat Linh Metro Line

The Cat Linh – Ha Dong Metro Line is Hanoi’s first elevated urban railway line, providing residents with a faster and more convenient public transport option. The line is distinguished by its green trains, arched station roofs and individual colour schemes that give each station a recognisable visual identity.

2.1 Route and key stations

The Cat Linh – Ha Dong Metro Line comprises 12 stations, starting at Cat Linh Station and terminating at Yen Nghia Bus Station. The stations listed are: Cat Linh, La Thanh, Thai Ha, Lang, National University, Ring Road 3, Thanh Xuan 3, Ha Dong Bus Station, Ha Dong, La Khe, Van Khe and Yen Nghia Bus Station.

Each station features a distinctive colour scheme, including green, yellow, red and orange, applied to the arched roofs and side cladding. These design elements create visual highlights while helping passengers identify and remember individual stations more easily.

2.2 The role of Cat Linh Metro in Hanoi’s transport connectivity

The launch of the Cat Linh – Ha Dong urban railway marked an important milestone in the development of Hanoi’s transport infrastructure. As an alternative to relying primarily on private vehicles, the metro encourages greater use of modern public transport, helping reduce traffic pressure on major inner-city roads and supporting a more sustainable urban mobility system.

The Cat Linh – Ha Dong Metro Line connects several densely populated areas along its route and integrates with bus services and other forms of public transport. This connectivity makes journeys between suburban districts and central Hanoi more convenient while helping commuters reduce travel time and transportation costs.

The line also provides an important foundation for the continued development of Hanoi’s wider urban railway network, supporting the city’s long-term goal of creating a more integrated, modern and efficient public transport system.

2.3 Impact of the metro system on Hanoi’s office leasing market

The development of the Nhon – Hanoi Station Metro Line creates significant opportunities for the office leasing market, particularly in areas served by urban railway infrastructure. Metro services provide a modern, efficient and convenient means of transportation while helping reduce road congestion and encouraging greater adoption of public transport among Hanoi residents.

From a commercial perspective, office buildings located near metro stations can benefit from improved accessibility to a broader workforce and greater appeal to businesses and investors. Companies frequently prioritise accessible office locations when selecting new premises, particularly when employees commute from different parts of the city. Improved public transport connectivity can therefore strengthen tenant demand for office buildings surrounding metro stations.

In addition to recruitment advantages and shorter commuting times, metro infrastructure can contribute to the long-term attractiveness of office real estate in well-connected locations. Improvements in surrounding infrastructure and supporting amenities may further strengthen the commercial potential of areas along metro corridors, creating additional value for businesses operating nearby.

3. Benefits of renting an office near the Cat Linh Metro Line

Renting an office near the Cat Linh Metro Line can improve business accessibility, support more efficient operations and provide long-term advantages as Hanoi continues to expand its urban transport infrastructure.

• Shorter commuting times: Proximity to Cat Linh Metro stations can reduce daily travel time for employees while providing an alternative to congested inner-city roads during peak hours.
• Lower commuting costs: As an affordable public transport option, the metro can help employees reduce expenditure on fuel, parking and other transportation costs while decreasing reliance on private vehicles.
• Improved talent attraction and retention: Convenient commuting is an important consideration for employees when evaluating workplace locations. An office near a metro station can therefore help businesses attract candidates from a wider catchment area and improve accessibility for existing employees.

• Stronger corporate positioning: An office in a well-connected location near a metro station can reinforce a modern and professional corporate image, particularly for businesses that value accessibility and proximity to major urban infrastructure.
• Exposure to future area development: Metro infrastructure can encourage further investment in surrounding commercial services, amenities and transport connections. Businesses located along the corridor may therefore benefit from the continued development of these areas and easier access to clients, partners and supporting services.
• A more dynamic working environment: Areas surrounding metro stations often provide convenient access to restaurants, retail facilities, entertainment venues and other urban amenities, supporting employee convenience and a more connected workplace environment.

Choosing an office building near the Cat Linh – Ha Dong Metro Line provides businesses with convenient transport access while supporting employee mobility, corporate positioning and operational efficiency. With strategic locations, improving infrastructure and a growing range of surrounding amenities, office buildings near Cat Linh Metro stations are well positioned for companies seeking to benefit from the continued development of Hanoi’s metro network.

1. Key Characteristics of the HCMC International Financial Centre

The Vietnam International Financial Centre in Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC-HCMC) was officially launched in February 2026 pursuant to National Assembly Resolution No. 222/2025/QH15. It is positioned as a strategic hub connecting global capital with Vietnam’s development needs, while attracting investment banks, investment funds, asset management firms, fintech companies and international financial institutions.

The VIFC-HCMC ecosystem focuses on four specialised areas:

• Aviation Finance Centre: Provides financing for aircraft purchases, leasing and lessor activities, together with aviation insurance, aviation logistics finance and transport-related derivatives.
• FinTech Centre: Develops cross-border payments, blockchain applications, AI-powered financial services, digital assets and next-generation financial models within a regulatory sandbox.
• Maritime Finance Centre: Focuses on trade finance, ship financing, marine insurance, logistics and global supply chain services.
• International Interbank Network and Global Financial Institutions: Connects banks, financial institutions, payment systems and cross-border capital flows, while exploring blockchain, smart contracts and new digital payment models.

With this multi-sector structure, VIFC-HCMC is designed to establish a modern financial ecosystem linking finance with trade, technology, aviation, maritime services and logistics. This foundation is expected to strengthen Ho Chi Minh City’s capacity to attract international capital and expand its role within the regional financial network.

2. Boundaries of the HCMC International Financial Centre

Pursuant to Decree No. 323/2025/ND-CP, the Ho Chi Minh City International Financial Centre covers approximately 898 hectares across Sai Gon Ward, Ben Thanh Ward and the Thu Thiem New Urban Area in An Khanh Ward.

Boundary Area 

The centre is bounded by Vo Van Kiet Boulevard, Pho Duc Chinh Street, Nguyen Cong Tru Street, Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street, Le Duan Boulevard, Ton Duc Thang Street, Nguyen Huu Canh Street, the Nhieu Loc–Thi Nghe Canal, the Saigon River, the boundary of Lan Anh Villa Compound, Tran Bach Dang Street, Tran Nao Street, the northern and northeastern boundaries of the Thu Thiem New Urban Area, Road No. 7 and Ca Tre Creek.

This location links Ho Chi Minh City’s established financial district with the emerging commercial and office hub in Thu Thiem, creating a large-scale financial services zone at the heart of the city.

Authority Responsible for Boundary and Land Allocation 

The HCMC People’s Committee is responsible for defining the centre’s detailed location, administrative boundaries, total area and allocated land fund. The VIFC-HCMC governing authority is responsible for publishing this information through the centre’s electronic one-stop administrative system.

Functional Zones 

The HCMC International Financial Centre is expected to include the following key functional areas:

• Financial Trading Zone: Dedicated to financial transactions and related activities.
• Banking Services Zone: Accommodating banks and other financial institutions.
• Exchange Zone: Including securities, commodities and related trading platforms.
• Office Zone: Providing workspace for members, investors and organisations operating within the centre.
• Arbitration and Court Zone: Supporting dispute resolution and legal proceedings.
• Other Functional Zones: To be determined by the governing authority based on operational requirements.

The land allocated to the centre must comply with approved regional and municipal planning, with clearly defined boundaries, convenient transport access and sufficient capacity for infrastructure and essential services. The site must also meet requirements relating to environmental protection, links with high-quality education and research institutions, national defence and security.

3. Key Planning and Development Priorities

VIFC-HCMC is planned as a modern financial ecosystem built on a transparent regulatory environment, flexible operating mechanisms and direct connections between international capital and the real economy. Priority areas include infrastructure, logistics, digital transformation and sustainable development.

During implementation, Ho Chi Minh City will focus on refining special mechanisms for foreign exchange, taxation, investment, the FinTech regulatory sandbox and international-standard dispute resolution. The city will also develop data infrastructure, financial technology, cross-border payment systems and a highly skilled workforce.

VIFC-HCMC is expected to serve as a major capital-raising hub for strategic projects, as Vietnam requires an estimated USD 1.5–1.6 trillion in investment capital during 2026–2035, while Ho Chi Minh City alone will need more than VND 3.2 quadrillion between 2026 and 2030. This provides a strong foundation for the city to enhance its competitiveness and strengthen its position within the regional financial landscape.

4. Trade and Connectivity Advantages of HCMC New Financial Centre

VIFC-HCMC is strategically positioned between the established city centre in Sai Gon Ward and Ben Thanh Ward, and the Thu Thiem New Urban Area in An Khanh Ward. This location provides direct access to Ho Chi Minh City’s banking, commercial, office, port and key transport infrastructure.

• Urban connectivity: Vo Van Kiet Boulevard, Ton Duc Thang Street, Nguyen Huu Canh Street, Mai Chi Tho Boulevard and Metro Line No. 1 provide efficient links between the city centre, Thu Thiem and eastern Ho Chi Minh City.
• Air connectivity: VIFC-HCMC offers convenient access to Tan Son Nhat International Airport and major transport routes leading to Long Thanh International Airport, which is targeted to commence commercial operations by the end of 2026.
• Port and logistics connectivity: Its proximity to the Saigon River and eastern port network supports the development of trade finance, marine insurance, ship financing and supply chain services.
• International capital connectivity: The interbank system is designed to connect global financial institutions, facilitate cross-border payments and support the application of blockchain and smart contracts within the regulatory sandbox.

With its integrated transport, logistics and financial infrastructure, VIFC-HCMC is well positioned to attract banks, investment funds, insurance companies, fintech firms and professional service providers seeking office space in HCMC.

5. Office Buildings within the HCMC International Financial Centre

The development of the Ho Chi Minh City International Financial Centre is closely linked to the city’s existing office building stock and upcoming projects. District 1 and the Thu Thiem New Urban Area will serve as two complementary core locations, meeting current occupier demand while providing additional capacity for future growth.

5.1 Office Buildings in District 1 – The Established Financial Core

District 1 has long been regarded as Ho Chi Minh City’s “Wall Street”, with a high concentration of Grade A and Grade A+ office buildings. The area hosts the headquarters of banks, investment funds, securities firms and major financial services companies. Several landmark buildings have become established symbols of the city’s financial district, including:

>> Office for lease in District 1

5.2 Office Buildings in Thu Thiem – The Emerging Financial Core

Unlike District 1, Thu Thiem in Thu Duc City is planned as a next-generation financial centre. The area benefits from a large land bank and integrated master planning, making it suitable for high-rise developments and international mixed-use complexes. In the coming years, a number of Grade A+ office buildings in Thu Thiem are expected to become operational and serve as headquarters for financial institutions, fintech companies and global corporations. Key office leasing projects in the Thu Thiem New Urban Area include:

With over 10 years of experience and a portfolio of more than 1,800 Grade A, B and C office buildings in Ho Chi Minh City, Maison Office is a trusted advisory firm helping businesses quickly identify office space that meets their requirements and budget. 

6. Impact of the Financial Centre on Office Rents and Supply

6.1 Impact on Office Rents and Supply

The establishment of the Ho Chi Minh City International Financial Centre is expected to have a direct impact on the office leasing market, particularly in District 1 and Thu Thiem.

• Stronger office demand: As international banks, securities firms, investment funds, insurance groups and fintech companies establish a presence in the financial core, demand for Grade A and Grade A+ office space is expected to rise significantly.
• Upward pressure on rents: Experience from regional financial centres indicates that office rents in financial districts are often 15–25% higher than the wider market. With Grade A office rents in District 1 currently ranging from approximately USD 55–70/m²/month, rental levels may continue to increase if demand exceeds supply.
• Additional supply from Thu Thiem: Unlike District 1, where developable land is limited, Thu Thiem has substantial land allocated for Grade A+ office projects. Over the next 10–15 years, new developments are expected to add hundreds of thousands of square metres of office space, helping balance supply and demand while expanding occupier choice.
• A shift in market structure: District 1 will retain its role as the established financial core, while Thu Thiem will serve as a complementary source of modern, competitive office supply. Together, the two areas are expected to form a dual financial and office ecosystem similar to Hong Kong–Kowloon or Seoul–Yeouido.

6.2 Opportunities and Challenges for Businesses

In the future, the Ho Chi Minh City International Financial Centre is expected to create significant opportunities, together with a number of challenges for businesses operating in the area.

Opportunities for businesses: 

• Stronger international connectivity: Domestic and foreign companies will gain more direct access to global financial institutions, investment funds and international capital markets.
• Enhanced brand positioning: Establishing an office within the financial centre can strengthen corporate credibility and support a more professional image among clients and business partners.
• Benefits from modern infrastructure: District 1 and Thu Thiem are expected to benefit from coordinated investment in transport, urban amenities and business support services, creating a modern, smart and sustainable working environment.
• Market expansion potential: Financial services, insurance, fintech, international trade and logistics companies will have greater opportunities for growth.

Challenges for businesses: 

• Higher occupancy costs: Grade A and Grade A+ office rents within the financial core may increase significantly, creating cost pressure for small and medium-sized enterprises.
• Stronger competition: The concentration of multinational corporations and major institutions will intensify competition for premium office space and supporting services.
• International compliance requirements: Businesses will need to meet higher standards of governance, financial transparency and legal compliance, particularly when working with global institutions.
• Pressure to modernise operations: Companies may need to invest further in technology, digital management and sustainable business practices to remain competitive in an international financial environment.

Overall, the HCMC International Financial Centre will create a high-potential business environment, while requiring companies to adopt flexible strategies, strengthen financial capacity and improve corporate governance.
