The field will be not for “impoverished developers”

Therefore, property developers invest properly in the right way, the segment is expected to be a money-produced machine.
Ms. Do Thi Thu Hang, Deputy director of research department in Savills Hanoi said, conglomerates such as Sun Group, Vingroup, FLC Group have declared to invest huge amount of money in the recreational property because Vietnam, especially in the North is lacking modern and high-ranking entertainment activities.
Besides, pouring money into recreational real estate is the best way to lure consumers as well as investors in the outskirt of the project to buy other property items such as retail real estate, shophouse, or in some cases codotels and hotels.
However, Hang said, the segment requires huge capital, which only investors having strong financial capacity and careful-prepared strategy could be successful in operating in the field.
Nevertheless, according to Savills’ research, investing in recreational property will be a strong trend in the coming year. This segment not only boost the local tourism industry but also improve the value of other property items and other real estate developers.
