Why Flexible-Size Factory Leasing is the Smart Choice for Investors?

Flexible Factory Leasing: A Smart Move for FDI Enterprises in Vietnam's Green, Cost-Optimized Future

As the global economy shifts toward sustainability and cost optimization, businesses—especially foreign direct investment (FDI) enterprises—are rethinking how they build and operate production facilities. One of the most prominent trends today is leasing flexible-size industrial space, a solution that not only reduces upfront capital investment but also enhances adaptability in a rapidly changing market.

Why Leasing is Becoming the New Norm

In contrast to previous preferences for owning industrial real estate as a long-term asset, manufacturers are increasingly opting to lease factory space for its flexibility and capital efficiency. Rather than spending millions on construction, companies can now set up operations in just a few months. Moreover, leasing flexible-sized warehouses enables them to scale production up or down as needed.

This flexibility is critical, especially during the early stages of investment when cost control and speed to market are key competitive advantages. Additionally, with the growing importance of sustainability commitments, green-certified factories, such as those with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, are increasingly favored by global partners focused on ESG compliance.

Choosing the Right Factory Model: From Small Units to Large-Scale Production

As market demand diversifies, industrial leasing models have evolved to offer greater flexibility. Today’s options range from large-scale facilities to modular factory spaces starting at 1,400m², catering to SMEs and large manufacturers alike.

Some standout models include:

Ready-Built Factories (RBF)

Pre-constructed, turnkey spaces that come equipped with essential infrastructure—electricity, water, lighting, security—allowing businesses to move in and begin operations almost immediately. RBFs are often strategically located in industrial zones with seamless access to ports, airports, and logistics hubs, making them ideal for fast-moving supply chains and agile manufacturing.

Built-to-Suit (BTS) Factories

Custom-built factories designed according to tenant specifications. Companies can define technical requirements, layout, infrastructure, and specialized features tailored to their production needs—ideal for businesses with unique operational requirements.

Multi-Storey Factories

These vertical facilities are designed like urban high-rise buildings, maximizing land use efficiency—especially critical in regions with limited industrial land and rising rental costs. A smart solution for companies looking to increase production capacity without expanding their physical footprint.
 

Flexible Leasing: A Long-Term Strategic Advantage

In a volatile business environment, flexible-space leasing allows companies to optimize operational costs while retaining the agility to expand or contract based on business needs.

Importantly, this model goes beyond just space segmentation. It enables customized use cases—from logistics and light manufacturing to food processing, cold storage, or R&D centers. Some pioneering industrial parks now offer modular block leasing, allowing businesses to expand sustainably without relocation or reconstruction.
 

How to Choose the “Right” Industrial Space

More than just square meters, the right industrial space requires a 360-degree evaluation—from location and infrastructure to legal support. Practical considerations include:

Strategic Location: Prioritize areas with strong transport links near ports, airports, or supply chain clusters. For example, HLI EcoHub Nam Ha, located in Duc Linh, Binh Thuan, is one of the few projects bordering Dong Nai, directly connected to Ho Chi Minh City and major logistics gateways.

Green Building Standards: LEED-certified facilities reduce energy use and support ESG reporting—an increasingly critical factor for international investors.

Flexible Layouts: Seek projects offering lease options from 1,400m² or expandable modules, allowing businesses to grow without disruption.

Clear Incentive Policies: Benefits such as up to 6 months of free fit-out, legal support, and recruitment assistance give tenants a clear long-term edge.
