LONG TERM VALUE FROM THE GRADE A GREEN OFFICE – ORIENTAL SQUARE BY OSI

A CFO’s Perspective

For a Chief Financial Officer, the decision to lease a new office headquarters is one of the most significant decisions impacting the balance sheet. However, evaluating solely on rental costs does not capture the full investment strategy. The measure that truly determines investment efficiency is the Total Cost of Occupancy (TCO), which includes operational expenses, impacts on employee productivity, and long-term risks. 

This article provides a financial perspective on how Oriental Square by OSI, a next-generation Grade A office in Hanoi, is designed to minimize TCO and maximize returns for business tenants. 

Overview of Total Cost of Occupancy at Oriental Square by OSI

Leasing an office at Oriental Square by OSI is a compelling economic decision when analyzed through the components of Total Cost of Occupancy.

Direct Operating Costs: Energy & Maintenance 

This is the category where the LEED Gold-certified Oriental Square by OSI delivers a clear and distinctive advantage.

• Energy Cost Optimization: Green-certified buildings in Vietnam are proven to deliver significant energy savings, typically ranging from 20–30% according to market data. Oriental Square by OSI takes this a step further by integrating multiple advanced systems that work together to optimize energy consumption while supporting a sustainable, high-performance work environment.
  1. Low-E Insulated Glass: Specially designed glass reduces heat transfer from the outside, minimizing solar heat gain. This decreases the dependency on air conditioning, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures efficiently.
  2. High-Efficiency VRF Central Air Conditioning: The VRF systems cool only the areas in use, preventing unnecessary energy expenditure in unoccupied spaces and ensuring precise climate control.
  3. Smart Building Management System (BMS): An advanced digital platform that continuously monitors and optimizes energy use in real time. 
  4. Result: These solutions deliver direct, measurable reductions in monthly electricity bills. Beyond cost savings, they enhance operational efficiency, contribute to sustainability goals, and reinforce Oriental Square by OSI’s position as a cutting-edge, environmentally responsible office space designed for forward-thinking businesses.
• Maintenance Cost Reduction: Older buildings often incur costly emergency repairs. Oriental Square by OSI, with a completely modern technical system and advanced predictive maintenance, minimizes unexpected failures, allowing CFOs to plan maintenance budgets more effectively and reliably.

Indirect Costs: People & Productivity

While often “hidden,” indirect costs related to people have the greatest impact on a company’s overall profitability. At Oriental Square by OSI, thoughtfully designed workspaces address these costs on multiple fronts.

• Reducing Health-Related Costs: A healthy, high-quality work environment with superior air quality, low-VOC materials, and abundant natural light which helps employees preserve working hours and maintain work efficiency.
• Boosting Productivity & Lowering Recruitment Costs: Green offices in Hanoi consistently maintain employee satisfaction and engagement, driving productivity and creativity. This also into significant cost savings in recruitment, onboarding, and retraining, making the office a strategic driver of long-term performance.

Risk Management and Long-Term Value Preservation

For a CFO, evaluating an office investment goes far beyond immediate costs. It requires careful consideration of potential future risks and long-term financial stability.

• Regulatory Risks: As environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, older buildings may incur significant costs for mandatory upgrades or retrofits. By choosing office and commercial spaces built to LEED Gold standards from the outset, businesses ensure compliance, operational stability, and reduced financial uncertainty over time.
• Asset Value Risks: Green offices in Hanoi consistently demonstrate high occupancy rates and stable rental prices, even during market fluctuation. Leasing an office at Oriental Square by OSI is not just about securing a workspace; it also aligns your brand with a green, sustainable asset of long-term value.
