Thanks to its rapidly developing economy and commercial real estate market, Vietnam's largest city, Ho Chi Minh City, has been ranked as the world's fastest-growing city – according to the Dynamic Cities List research report.

According to JLL's latest research on dynamic cities, high levels of foreign direct investment (FDI) and infrastructure spending have contributed to making Ho Chi Minh City the fastest-growing city, ranking sixth out of 120 cities.

According to Jeremy Kelly, Global Research Director at JLL: "Ho Chi Minh City is certainly emerging as a major and growing economic hub in Asia. While the city's economy started from a very low base, the level of development is very high."

Stephen Wyatt, General Director of JLL Vietnam, said: "Ho Chi Minh City has really started to develop significantly in the last two years due to a combination of improved economic conditions and renewed confidence in the market. We are seeing a lot of foreign and domestic investors and developers trying to secure a position in the city."

The city's strong growth stems from its high absorption and construction rate of office space for lease, one of the highest in the world, although this high growth rate is driven by the small size of the existing commercial real estate market.

Strong demand for premium office supply means that annual absorption is expected to exceed 15% of the city's existing supply. Strong growth in office rental prices also contributed to Ho Chi Minh City's top 20 ranking in JLL's Global Office Index Q1 2015 report.
