A Market Defined by Limited Supply and Evolving Demand
Ho Chi Minh City continues to reinforce its position as Vietnam’s leading commercial and financial centre, supported by expanding foreign investment, a growing professional services sector and sustained demand from multinational corporations. While occupier requirements continue to evolve, one trend has remained consistent: businesses are increasingly prioritising high-quality, future-ready workplaces over conventional office space.
The city’s office market entered 2026 with resilient fundamentals. According to recent market reports, total Grade A and Grade B office stock reached approximately 1.8 million sqm of net leasable area, while Grade A vacancy remained relatively low by regional standards, reflecting continued demand for premium buildings despite a more selective leasing environment. At the same time, new CBD office supply has become increasingly limited, creating fewer opportunities for occupiers seeking newly completed, internationally certified workplaces.
Against this backdrop, The Kross enters the market as the only new Grade A office development scheduled for completion in 2026, introducing 32,949 sqm of premium net leasable office space designed for the next generation of businesses.
A Rare Grade A Office Supply 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City’s Premium Office Market
For many occupiers, today’s workplace decisions extend far beyond location or rental costs. Companies are looking for offices that strengthen corporate identity, attract talent, improve operational efficiency and support long-term business growth.
Yet opportunities to secure newly completed Grade A office space within Ho Chi Minh City’s core business district remain exceptionally limited. Knight Frank projects that new premium office supply will stay constrained through 2027, with The Kross representing the only new Grade A CBD office expected to complete during this period.
This scarcity creates a unique opportunity for businesses planning headquarters relocation, regional expansion or workplace upgrades. Rather than adapting existing buildings to meet evolving operational needs, occupiers can move directly into a purpose-built environment designed around today’s workplace expectations.
Built for Modern Business Performance
The Kross has been designed with one objective: creating a workplace capable of supporting modern organisations as they continue to evolve.
The development delivers approximately 32,949 sqm of Net Leasable Area (NLA) across efficient floor plates ranging from 994 to 1,053 sqm, providing exceptional flexibility for both single-floor occupiers and companies requiring multiple contiguous floors.

Positioned at the Heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s Emerging Financial Centre
Location remains one of the most influential factors in office selection.
Situated within Ho Chi Minh City’s emerging international financial centre, The Kross benefits from direct connectivity to Metro Line 1, while providing seamless access to District 1, Thu Thiem and the wider metropolitan area.
Its mixed-use ecosystem combines Grade A offices, retail and serviced apartments within a single destination, creating an integrated environment where businesses, employees and visitors can work, meet and stay without leaving the precinct.
This level of connectivity supports not only operational efficiency, but also the evolving expectations of today’s workforce, where accessibility, lifestyle amenities and convenience increasingly influence workplace decisions.
As Ho Chi Minh City’s business landscape continues to expand eastward, developments capable of combining connectivity, sustainability and premium workplace experience will play an increasingly important role in shaping the city’s next commercial chapter.
More Than New Office Space
The significance of The Kross extends beyond introducing new office inventory.
In a market where premium CBD supply remains constrained, the development represents a new benchmark for how Grade A workplaces should support business performance. Its combination of 32,949 sqm of premium office space, efficient floor plates, internationally recognised sustainability standards and strategic location within Ho Chi Minh City’s emerging financial centre positions it as one of the most important commercial developments entering the market in 2026.
For organisations seeking a workplace that supports long-term growth rather than simply accommodating today’s requirements, The Kross offers something increasingly difficult to find: a purpose-built Grade A office environment designed for the future of business.
