The merger of Wards 4, 5, and 9 into Duc Nhuan Ward in July 2025 has created a “wave” of office relocations at the gateway to Tan Son Nhat Airport. However, this administrative boundary change has also led to a clutter of fake legal addresses and unrealistic rental prices on classified websites. To help businesses overcome the barrier of virtual information, RSQUARE’s Big Data system provides a 100% verified office list, helping you optimize the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and offering completely free legal appraisals.
Key information for businesses:

- Price segment: Ranging from $7 to $32/sqm depending on the street and building grade.
- Occupancy rate: Consistently maintained at a high level, reaching 92% in the Grade B office segment.

1. Duc Nhuan Ward – The “Gateway” Economic Hub Post-Merger
Duc Nhuan Ward is a new administrative unit under Phu Nhuan District, acting as a strategic trading gateway as it possesses the densest concentration of office buildings in the Tan Son Nhat airport area.
Following the merger milestone in July 2025, Duc Nhuan Ward (consolidated from former Wards 4, 5, and 9) has become a new “capital” for FDI enterprises, Logistics, and SMEs. With an area of over 2 square kilometers and a population of approximately 72,000, this area not only provides an abundant workforce but also boasts a synchronized transport infrastructure. Setting up a headquarters here helps businesses cut rental costs by 20% to 30% compared to the core of District 1 while still ensuring a professional image and rapid multi-point connectivity.
2. Duc Nhuan Ward Office Rental Quotes by Street and Segment
Choosing an office location in Duc Nhuan Ward requires a balance between budget and brand recognition needs. Below is the 2026 actual data report for key routes:
- Newtecons Tower (Phan Dang Luu): Grade B+ segment – Actual rent: $20 – $22/sqm.
- L’Mak 68 Building (Phan Dang Luu): Grade B+ segment – Actual rent: $20 – $23/sqm.
- Orchard Garden (Hong Ha): Grade C+ segment – Actual rent: $18 – $20/sqm.
- Tuoi Tre Tower (Hoang Van Thu): Grade C segment – Actual rent: $15.5 – $18/sqm.
- HK Building (Dao Duy Anh): Budget segment – Actual rent: $7 – $11/sqm.
For multinational corporations needing high-class space, the Nguyen Van Troi axis is a top priority with LEED-certified green buildings like Centre Point Tower. Conversely, Startups or Logistics units needing to optimize cash flow often cluster around the Dao Duy Anh or Ho Van Hue areas, which offer “softer” prices while ensuring convenient aviation connectivity.
Don’t just look at the listed Asking Rent. A cheap office can cost you more if an outdated air conditioning system spikes electricity bills or if overtime (OT) fees are too high. Always request a detailed TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) analysis before making a decision.
3. Controlling “Cost Traps” and Legal Risks After the Administrative Merger
The office rental market in Duc Nhuan Ward is currently facing interference from fake listings with artificially low “bait” prices aimed at attracting attention. Additionally, older buildings in this area sometimes have issues with fire safety (PCCC) approvals or degraded technical systems, leading to unnecessary operational costs.
A specific risk post-merger is the synchronization of legal addresses. Businesses need to carefully review lease contract terms to ensure that the building owner will support updating the administrative information – from the old ward to Duc Nhuan Ward – on invoices, documents, and business licenses, avoiding future troubles with tax authorities.
