Now Zone (Royal Towers), situated at 235 Nguyen Van Cu in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, functions as a mid-tier shopping center opened in 2008, encompassing approximately 20,000 square meters of gross leasable area based on comparable properties, though exact figures are unavailable. The property emphasizes fashion retail but has shifted toward food and entertainment, featuring tenants like Korean clothing boutiques, cosmetics outlets, childrens entertainment zones such as TiniWorld, convenience stores, and a Lotte Cinema.

Dining options include a food court with chains like KFC, Pizza Hut, Subway, and local Asian eateries, alongside cafes like Phuc Long.

Market position places it as a convenient local hub, directly linked to Hotel Nikko Saigon, enhancing accessibility via public transport and proximity to central business areas. Footfall appears lower than peers, with reviews indicating quiet weekends and limited crowds, potentially reflecting occupancy below the city average of 93.6 percent in Q2 2025.

Rent levels in HCMC average USD 53 per square meter per month, likely lower for this non-prime location.

Tenant mix supports family-oriented visits with play areas and amusement, but lacks major international anchors, leading to criticisms of limited variety and outdated appeal. Demographic targets include urban residents in a high-density area over 40,000 people per square kilometer, young families, and budget shoppers amid a city population of nearly 9.8 million.

Operational quality offers clean facilities and promotions, yet challenges involve perceived high prices in food and cinema, maintenance inconsistencies, and competition from larger malls.

Leasing advantages include affordable entry for smaller retailers and location benefits, while drawbacks encompass market saturation in District 1 and potential infrastructure aging.

Insights

Demographic Profile

District 1 demographics feature high population density exceeding 40,000 people per square kilometer, with Ho Chi Minh City overall at about 4,375 people per square kilometer and a total population estimated at 9.8 million in 2025. The area attracts a mix of local middle-class families, young professionals aged 25-40, expatriates, and tourists, supported by rising disposable incomes and urbanization at 77.7 percent. Retail spending focuses on fashion, dining, and entertainment, but inflation and economic shifts may constrain discretionary budgets, posing risks for tenant performance in mid-tier properties like this.

Tenant Mix and Occupancy

Tenant mix comprises around 50-60 outlets, categorized into 40 percent fashion and accessories, 30 percent food and beverage with chains like KFC and local options, 20 percent entertainment including Lotte Cinema and TiniWorld, and 10 percent services like minimarts. Occupancy likely aligns with city trends at 93-94 percent, but visitor reviews suggest underutilized spaces due to low footfall. Strengths include diverse family appeals, while weaknesses involve weak premium categories and reliance on promotions, potentially leading to higher turnover risks in a competitive market.

Competition and Rent Levels

Competition is intense from nearby District 1 malls like Vincom Center, Takashimaya, and Diamond Plaza, which offer premium brands, higher footfall, and modern infrastructure, drawing away upscale shoppers. Rent levels average USD 53 per square meter per month citywide, possibly USD 30-40 for this location given its smaller scale and lower traffic. Risks include market saturation with new supply of 38,000 square meters in 2025, access issues from traffic congestion, and aging facilities impacting operational quality.
