2 Property Details
2.1 Location
The site is located on Dong Van Cong street, 50m Southeast of the East-West highway
(Mai Chi Tho), which is the main thoroughfare into District 1 via the Saigon tunnel. It is
also located 6.5km east of the CBD of Ho Chi Minh City, 3 km east of Thu Thiem, and
2km south of An Phu.
It takes approximately 10-12 minutes to drive to District 1 and the CBD from site
location and 5 minutes to An Phu area where the highly touted Cantavil, Estella, and
Vista apartments and shopping centers are located.
The Thu Thiem New Urban Area has begun development last year after years of site
clearance of the nearly 7 square km area between the CBD and the project site. The
road construction project, scheduled for completion in 2016, will completely connect all
eight functional zones and include a six-lane primary avenue, a two-lane road that runs
along the Saigon River, and a four-lane river-side road. In addition, Vingroup gained
approval in July to develop the finance center in Thu Thiem that will cover 250,000 sqm.
Development in the Thu Thiem New Urban Area and further development of the An Phu
Urban Area will position this project site as a prime location just off the 6km span of
East-West Highway that connects the two major urban areas.
Other residential projects within 2km include Diamond Island (>$1,500/sqm), Cantavil
Premier ($1,600/sqm), Vista ($1,500/sqm), Imperia An Phu ($1,400/sqm), and Lexington
Residences ($1,100/sqm, 2016).

3 Financials
3.1 Valuation Framework
We have valued the property using the Discounted Cash Flow Approach of each of the
business verticals separately – retail, office, and apartments for sale.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Approach. The explicit DCF approach is used to estimate
the Market Value of projects where cash flows can reasonably be projected, and to
compare the performance of alternative investments by evaluating their Internal Rate of
Return. Guidance Note 7 of the RICS Global Valuation Standards sets out the principles
in detail.

3.3 Feasibility and Valuation
3.3.1 Findings
Given our assumptions and forecasts on inflation, escalation, lending rate, risk-
free yield, market positioning, future supply and demand, and other pertinent
variables, we have arrived at an IRR of 30.47% based on our determination of
best use of land given the present investment certificate issued on 11/11/2008
and a land price of US$ 826/sqm.
Land Cost: $9,500,000 (826 * 11,497)
Construction Cost:S $45,719,966
*All values in US$
To determine feasibility, we calculate three primary indicators: Internal Rate of
Return (IRR), Return on Equity (ROE), and Return on Capital (ROC). These
feasibility indicators will vary to an extent, depending on variables such as
investor access to and cost of capital, degree of leverage, and product
positioning in the marketplace.
3.3.2 Assumptions
Discount Rate 12% (10-year note: 9%)
VND Lending Rate 9%
Gearing 50%
Residential Sales $1,200/sqm
Commercial Rent $15/sqm
