Office for Rent District 1: Why HCMC Leaders Are Now Choosing Between Two Addresses, Not One

Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 is no longer a single pricing zone. Vietnam's 2025 administrative reform split the district into formally reorganized wards, and two of the city's established serviced office addresses now sit on opposite ends of that map. Dreamplex Nguyễn Trung Ngạn occupies the financial core in Sài Gòn Ward, five minutes from Ba Son Metro and moments from Nguyễn Huệ, the company's founding coworking location, once visited by President Obama. Dreamplex Trần Quang Khải sits in the quieter Tân Định Ward, priced below the CBD corridor and built for teams commuting from Phú Nhuận, District 3, and Bình Thạnh. This article walks through fresh Q2 2026 market data on District 1 rents and occupancy, then compares both addresses so leadership can match the location to what the business needs the address to prove: prestige, cost discipline, or both.
