Recently, the trend of decentralization in Ho Chi Minh City from central areas has become a noteworthy phenomenon. This trend is influenced by the dynamic and ever-changing market economy.

The trend of decentralization, moving offices away from central areas, is gradually becoming more common

Addressing the economic challenges in the current difficult market conditions, relocating offices from the central business district (CBD) to the suburbs brings significant benefits. This includes larger floor spaces, allowing businesses to optimize office space and create favorable conditions for future expansion as well as company growth.

Moreover, moving offices to suburban areas helps alleviate traffic and road congestion. Additionally, this trend fosters a comfortable and nature-friendly working environment due to the presence of lush greenery and landscapes compared to the tradition building in CBD.

Over time, businesses have recognized the significant advantages of choosing to relocate their offices to the suburban periphery. One of the most important benefits is lower office rental costs, resulting in cost savings for operating expenses.

Another crucial factor is the flexibility during business operations. Placing offices in suburban areas allows businesses to tap into new markets by accessing urban and residential areas in Binh Duong, Nhon Trach, Dong Nai, and other regions.

The decentralization and relocation of offices from the CBD demonstrate the adaptability and flexibility of businesses. They enable companies to seize opportunities and tackle the challenges arising from a dynamic business landscape.

However, this trend also presents certain challenges. Moving away from the CBD may affect convenience in connecting with other companies, organizations, and centralized services within the city. Moreover, constructing and managing offices in suburban locations require more attention to improving infrastructure, transportation, and community facilities.

Why should businesses choose office buildings that meet environmentally friendly standards?

What is LEED Silver certification?

LEED certification is an international system for evaluating and certifying green buildings and real estate projects. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a standard developed by the US Green Building Council. Its purpose is to encourage and assess the positive impacts of construction on the environment and human health.

LEED Silver certification is one of the levels of LEED certification, where Silver represents an intermediate level of compliance with green requirements and standards. To attain LEED Silver certification, a building must meet stringent requirements in areas such as energy efficiency, water management, and sustainable construction materials. Additionally, compliance with standards for indoor air quality and environmental management is essential.

The benefits of choosing LEED-certified office workspaces

• Community connectivity: Environmental-friendly office buildings or those within integrated business parks can build better communities and foster connected workplaces. They offer combined living and working spaces, creating better conditions for meetings and interactions. These buildings can also host events, conferences, and community activities, encouraging collaboration and sustainable developments.

Community connectivity, networking, and interaction

• Nature friendliness: Green office buildings bring occupants closer to nature. Designed and constructed with the environment in mind, they promote energy efficiency, water conservation, and proper waste management. With lush greenery and open landscapes, these spaces create a refreshing environment, benefiting mental and physical well-being as well as encouraging interaction, connection, and creativity to reduce stress.
• Increased work efficiency and creativity: A working environment close to nature with lush greenery and open spaces can enhance employee comfort, boost efficiency and creativity. Beyond increasing work productivity, it fosters personal development and employee satisfaction, helping businesses retain talents and achieve sustainable successes.
