The hotel segment in general and 3 to 5 star hotels in particular are also affected. The market capacity decreased -44 percentage points year-on-year, the lowest in the past 10 years, the average room rate decreased -50% year-on-year. However, other markets such as Residential real estate, Commercial real estate, Industrial real estate, still have certain bright spots. Some projects have also been completed and introduced to the market such as SHB Tower, Savills is honored to be selected as the Management Unit of those projects.”.

More specifically: The industrial real estate sector has quite positive developments. Convenient location and reasonable investment incentives are leverage for businesses to promote industrial investment promotion activities in Da Nang.

Currently, many businesses have been actively investing in this field.

About 850 hectares from 14 projects with villas and townhouses will be deployed in the coming years, most of which will come from the next phase of existing projects. In Da Nang, many projects are being built and introduced to the market in the near future, including housing products such as apartments, townhouses, and urban areas.

Office real estate sector kept stable. Fear of instability and travel restrictions caused the number of transactions to decrease compared to the same period last year. However, besides the group of business tenants who could not bear the cost of premises and operation for a long time leading to closure, the market still recorded a certain amount of demand for space expansion or opening. more branch office in Da Nang. The rent of retail and office space in Da Nang in this period decreased slightly compared to the time before Covid-19 (there are places with nearly 40% reduction in rent) to attract guests. This is also motivation

for businesses with stable business lines and solid cash flow to continue participating in long-term lease contracts in this market.
