Keppel Land and Centurion Group are just a couple of major industry players setting their sights and putting in good investment money into Vietnamese real estate. One of the main pull factors are the Vietnamese government being actively pro-business and opening their industries up to foreign investments. They are not simply making essential changes to the law that allows foreign companies the ease of starting up businesses in Vietnam, but also consistently building up infrastructure. With a young and dynamic population growing, the demand for office, commercial and residential properties is set to intensify in the next decade or two.
