Sala Thu Thiem Shophouses – Latest Sale & Rental Prices Update

Shophouse Townhouse Sala Thu Thiem - Latest Sales and Rental Price Update

A reference guide for homeowners, tenants (Vietnamese, foreign expats)

Have you ever wondered if there's a place amidst the vibrant heart of Saigon that offers not only a premium living space but also a "golden" opportunity for business, with steadily increasing value? I'm sure if you're reading this article, "Shophouse Townhouse Sala Thu Thiem" has already caught your eye!

To be honest, every time Sala Thu Thiem is mentioned, I always have a very special feeling. It's not just an urban area; it's a symbol of luxury, modernity, and a standard of living. And of course, the shophouses and townhouses here are not merely "assets"; they are stories and golden opportunities waiting for you to discover. Let's break down how vibrant the Sala shophouse and townhouse market is, what's new with the sales and rental prices, and why it's so highly sought after!
  Sala Thu Thiem: A Shining Gem in the Heart of Ho Chi Minh City

As you probably know, the Sala urban area is strategically located in the former An Loi Dong Ward of District 2, now the newly merged An Khanh Ward of Ho Chi Minh City. This location not only provides convenient connections to central districts like District 1, District 4, and Binh Thanh District but also promises outstanding development potential in the future. Sala is often likened to a "green lung" with its expansive park, coupled with synchronous planning and premium amenities, attracting the affluent and the international expat community to live and work.

For me, Sala is not just a real estate project; it's a complete "ecosystem." From tree-lined streets and refreshing swimming pools to international schools, hospitals, and bustling commercial centers, everything creates an ideal living space. And within this "ecosystem," shophouses and townhouses are the economic "lifelines," generating vitality and prosperity.

Why are Sala Shophouses and Townhouses So Special?

Don't think all shophouses are alike. Shophouses and townhouses in Sala possess a unique character that isn't found just anywhere.

1. Irreplaceable golden location: Situated within the most premium urban area in Thu Thiem, a hub for affluent residents and a diverse expat community. This is a crucial factor ensuring a rich source of potential customers for all types of businesses.

2. Luxurious design, optimized functionality: The shophouses are designed with versatility, suitable for business operations on the ground and mezzanine floors, while providing private living spaces on the upper floors. Modern architecture with wide, airy facades is a significant plus.

3. Synchronous infrastructure, international standard amenities: You can find everything you need within a few steps: from luxury restaurants, trendy cafes, and convenience stores to gyms and high-end spas. Everything is meticulously planned.

4. Sustainable value appreciation: With the rapid development of the Thu Thiem area and Thu Duc City, property values in Sala consistently tend to grow over time. Investing here, in my opinion, is a very worthwhile long-term investment.

Latest Sales Price Update for Sala Thu Thiem Shophouse Townhouses 

The Sala shophouse market is always vibrant, and prices fluctuate with each period. If you ask me "What's the exact price?", I would say there's no fixed number; it depends on many factors. But I can provide the most up-to-date information based on actual transactions that my team at 456 Vietnam and I have facilitated.

Sales prices by location:

1. Main road frontage (Nguyen Co Thach, Mai Chi Tho): These are always the "diamond" locations, commanding the highest value. A shophouse with a land area of about 7x20m (i.e., 140m2) and a structure of 1 ground floor, 1 mezzanine, 3-4 upper floors can range from 175 billion to over 200 billion VND. In fact, one of our clients, a Vietnamese-American investor, decided to sell a 4-story shophouse on Nguyen Co Thach street frontage, with a land area of 7x20m (total usable area over 500m2) in late 2023 for 95 billion VND, earning a 25% profit after 3 years of ownership.

2. Internal roads (near parks, residential areas): Prices are slightly softer, suitable for businesses requiring a quieter environment or serving internal residents. Units of similar size can be priced from 80 billion to 100 billion VND.

3. Saroma Villa area: Townhouse villas with commercial functions (shophouse villas) have extremely high values, often exceeding 250 - 650 billion VND due to limited numbers and their exclusivity and luxury.

Comparison with nearby markets:

1. Compared to shophouse areas in Thao Dien (former District 2), Sala shophouse prices are typically 20-30% higher for equivalent locations.
2. Compared to emerging urban areas like Zeitgeist New City (Nha Be) or Celadon City (Tan Phu), Sala's prices are in a completely different "class," 2-3 times higher. This is not surprising, as Sala is the future center of Ho Chi Minh City, not merely a residential area.

Latest Rental Price Update for Sala Thu Thiem Shophouse Townhouses 

Not only is it a "buy-and-sell" investment channel, but Sala shophouses also offer an extremely attractive source of passive income through rentals. Many major brands, from F&B and fashion to banks, want to establish a presence here.

Rental prices by location and area:

1. Nguyen Co Thach, Mai Chi Tho street frontage: Rental prices are always the highest. A whole shophouse (typically 1 ground floor, 1 mezzanine, 3-4 upper floors) can range from 150 million to 400 million VND/month depending on the area, interior, and handover condition. We once assisted a landlord in renting out a 5-story shophouse with a total usable area of 600m2 on Nguyen Co Thach street to a famous fine-dining restaurant chain for 350 million VND/month in early 2024. This was a fairly quick transaction, completed within 3 weeks, thanks to 456 Vietnam's connections.

2. Internal roads, smaller commercial areas: Rental prices will be "friendlier," suitable for smaller business models, representative offices, or showrooms. Rents can range from 80 million to 180 million VND/month for an entire unit.

3. Ground and mezzanine floor only: Many businesses only need to rent the ground and mezzanine floors for their operations; the landlord can use the upper floors themselves or rent them out separately. The rent for this portion typically ranges from 70 million to 150 million VND/month depending on location and area.

Rental Yield:

1. Overall, the rental yield for Sala shophouses typically ranges from 3-5% per year. This figure might not seem very high compared to savings accounts, but you must remember that property values in Sala tend to appreciate strongly. This means you have both a stable monthly cash flow and an asset that increases in value over time. This is the "golden formula" for many smart investors.

2. One case I'll always remember is the story of Ms. Lan, a client of 456 Vietnam. She bought a shophouse in Sala in 2018 for 45 billion VND. She then rented it out for an average of 120 million/month. By late 2022, that shophouse was revalued at 75 billion VND, while the rental income was also substantial. She told me: "Investing in Sala was the smartest decision I've made so far."

Frequently Asked Questions about Sala Thu Thiem Shophouse Townhouses (FAQ)

I know you have many questions, so I've compiled a few that I frequently receive from clients:

1. What is the legal status of Sala Shophouses?

Most shophouses in Sala have individual pink books (certificate of land use rights and house ownership), offering long-term ownership (for Vietnamese citizens) or 50-year leasehold (for foreigners). However, some areas or smaller projects may have different regulations. In my experience, thoroughly checking the legal documents before any transaction is extremely important. Don't trust mere words; ask to see the original documents.

2. Should I invest in a Sala shophouse now?

In my personal opinion, if you have sufficient financial resources and a long-term vision, then YES. With the rapid development of Thu Thiem's infrastructure (such as Thu Thiem 2 Bridge, Thu Thiem 3 Bridge, Thu Thiem 4 Bridge either completed or under implementation), the potential for price appreciation remains very high. Stable rental income is also a plus. However, carefully consider your investment purpose (business, rental, or both) and your financial capacity.

3. How can I find a good-value shophouse in Sala?

This is a tough question! The Sala market is very transparent regarding prices, so "good value" often comes with factors like a less prime location or the need for renovation. The secret is to have the earliest, most accurate information and guidance from someone who understands the market. Don't hesitate to ask experts; they might have "off-market" properties that haven't been widely advertised.

4. Are the procedures for renting/buying a Sala shophouse complicated?

Compared to renting/buying an apartment, shophouse procedures can be a bit more complex due to business licenses, fire safety regulations, etc. Especially for foreigners (expats), legal procedures and bilingual contracts need to be meticulously prepared. But don't worry, with the support of a professional agency, everything will become much easier.

How to Choose a Sala Shophouse that Suits Your Business Needs

Choosing a shophouse is not just buying an asset; it's choosing a "partner" for your business. Here are a few small pieces of advice from me:

1. Identify your business type: Do you plan to open a restaurant, cafe, showroom, office, or spa? Each type will suit a different location and area.

2. Your "prime" location: For restaurants and cafes, you need a main road frontage, highly visible. For spas and offices, a quieter internal road might actually be an advantage.

3. Area and functionality: Carefully calculate the necessary space for your business area, storage, kitchen area (if F&B), and private living space on the upper floors.

4. Handover condition: Do you want to receive a bare shell unit to design yourself or one with basic furnishings? This directly impacts initial investment costs and completion time.

5. Budget: Of course, budget is the deciding factor. Clearly define the price range you can afford for buying or renting to narrow down your options.

Client Testimonial:

"I am truly satisfied with 456 Vietnam's services! I own a high-end fashion store from Korea and wanted to expand my business in HCMC. I had been searching for premises in Sala for almost half a year without finding anything I liked, or the prices were too high, or the location wasn't ideal. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I contacted 456 Vietnam. Within just two weeks of working with Truong from 456, I found the perfect shophouse on Nguyen Co Thach street, with an area of 8x15m, exactly the feng shui direction I needed, and at a very reasonable rental price of 180 million/month. The bilingual contract was also diligently supported, giving me complete peace of mind when working in a new environment. Having an expert really makes things easier! I will definitely recommend 456 Vietnam to my friends and partners." - Mr. Kim Young-min, owner of K-Style fashion brand, Sala shophouse tenant since March 2024.
