Besides, the number of 3-bedroom apartments accounts for 23.44%, while 4-bedroom apartments and penthouses only make up the total 6.26%. Focusing on large apartments helps the project affirm its position in the high-end segment and reduce liquidity due to a narrowed customer base.

In addition, the high cost due to the large area can limit customer access.

In terms of feng shui and layout, ensure privacy and avoid loss of aesthetics. Bedroom doors are designed reasonably, not directly facing the bathroom door, helping to avoid affecting feng shui and aesthetics. However, the WC is located near the main door, affecting the feng shui of the house. In feng shui, the main door is the welcoming place where good energy (fortune, luck) enters the house. If the toilet is located near the main door, it can cause negative effects.

Despite the advantages of airy design, spacious space and not too dense number of apartments, the project also faces some challenges. The ratio of large apartments may not be consistent with market trends, especially in the context of housing and rental demand in the West Lake area, which often prioritizes 1 to 2-bedroom apartments with moderate areas. This raises issues about liquidity as well as the ability to optimize capacity utilization of the project. 

Compare with regional market

Watermark Tay Ho is located in an area with high real estate value thanks to its prime location along West Lake, near the center of Hanoi and has a large foreign community. Compared to other projects in the same high-end segment in the region such as Sun Grand City Thuy Khue Residence, D’. Le Roi Soleil or Kosmo Tay Ho, Watermark has some notable points:

• Price: Apartment prices at Watermark usually range from 50-80 million VND/m² depending on location and apartment type. This price is equivalent to Kosmo Tay Ho (about 45-60 million/m²) and lower in comparison D’. Le Roi Soleil (70-100 million/m²) and Sun Grand City (80-120 million/m²).
• Amenities: Watermark has the advantage of a view of West Lake but is limited in the scale of amenities compared to other projects. Big projects like Sun Grand or D’. Le Roi Soleil has a shopping center, swimming pool, and large children’s play area, while Watermark only has basic amenities.

Thus, Watermark’s selling price is reasonable compared to its location but may be competitive with projects in the same area with better amenities.

Rental potential

Watermark has a great advantage in rentals because it is located in an area where many foreigners live. Average rental price:

• 1-bedroom apartment: 15-25 million/month
• 2-bedroom apartment: 20-35 million/month
• 3-bedroom apartment: 35-50 million/month
• 4-Bedroom Apartment & Penthouse: 50-80 million/month (hard to find long-term tenants)

This price is competitive with other high-end projects in the area but not superior. In addition, the proportion of large apartments is quite large, making rental possibilities more limited than projects with many small apartments.

In general, Watermark is suitable for the group of customers buying for long-term residence or investing in high-end rentals, but for surfing investors, liquidity will not be too fast due to high apartment value and the market has more competitive options.

• Good rental potential: The West Lake area attracts many foreign experts, helping to increase the project’s appeal to rental investors.
• Legal transparency: The project has a pink book, ensuring long-term ownership for buyers.

Weaknesses:

• High proportion of large apartments: The number of 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom and Penthouse apartments accounts for a large proportion (nearly 30%), causing difficulties for liquidity.
• The selling price is not really competitive: Compared to some projects in the same area with more amenities, Watermark has a similar or higher price but is not superior in terms of utility system.

Opportunities:

• West Lake high-end real estate market is developing strongly: This area is always highly appreciated for its large foreign community and clean living environment.
• Transportation is increasingly convenient: Major roads such as Vo Chi Cong and Nhat Tan bridge help connect the area better, increasing real estate value.

 Threats:

• Fierce competition: High-end projects in the area such as D’. Le Roi Soleil, Kosmo Tay Ho, Sunshine Riverside are offering more attractive options.
• Slow liquidity of large apartments: The need to buy large apartments often comes from a limited group of customers, while the market is preferring 1-2 bedroom apartments.
• Impact from the real estate market: Credit policies and economic conditions can influence investment decisions in the high-end segment.

Recommendations for customers

Based on an overall analysis of location, design, product structure and market developments, Watermark Tay Ho is suitable for specific customer groups. To make optimal investment or settlement decisions, customers need to consider factors such as real estate value, liquidity and long-term exploitation potential.

For residential buyers

Watermark Tay Ho targets a group of customers with good finances, looking for quality living space in the West Lake area. With low construction density, modern design and wide views, the project is suitable for individuals or families with high requirements for living space, prioritizing privacy and not being too dependent on internal amenities.

• Young customers, small families: Apartments 2 bedrooms (78 – 129m²) accounts for a large proportion of the project (58.59%), and is a suitable choice thanks to its reasonable area, comfortable living space and higher resale value than large apartments. This is also the most liquid type in the project, especially for those who plan to upgrade their living space in the future.
• Multi-generational families or customers with large space needs: Apartments 3-4 bedrooms and Penthouse meet the requirements of area, comfort and luxury. However, it should be noted that The liquidity of this segment is lower due to limited demand and high investment value. Therefore, the buying decision should be based on long-term housing needs instead of expectations of strong price increases in the short term.
• Foreigners or experts working in the surrounding area: This group of customers can consider 1-2 bedroom apartments, especially if the goal is to own real estate rather than rent long-term. These apartments have a moderate area and are easy to resell or rent out in the future when market demand changes.

For investors

In general, Watermark Tay Ho has investment potential thanks to its strategic location, high-end residential community and high demand for real estate rentals in the West Lake area. However, the choice of apartment type and investment strategy will determine the level of efficiency and ability to optimize capital flow.

• Rental investment: This is a feasible direction, especially for apartments with 1-2 bedrooms, due to the increasing demand for hiring from foreign experts, senior personnel in multinational corporations or successful customers. However, Need to evaluate profit levels compared to other projects in the same area like D’. Le Roi Soleil or Kosmo Tay Ho, which has the advantage of more extensive internal amenities.
• Medium and long-term investment: With the development of regional transportation infrastructure such as Metro line No. 2 and Tu Lien bridge connecting Dong Anh, West Lake real estate still maintains a stable value. Apartments with 2-3 bedrooms can be the optimal choice for a strategy to hold assets and benefit from the increase in real estate value over time.
• Investing in surfing: Not an optimal choice, due to the high proportion of large apartments (from 128m² or more), reducing transaction speed on the secondary market. If there is a plan to surf, investors should focus on it. 1-2 bedroom apartments have reasonable area, in accordance with the actual needs of the market.

In short, Watermark Tay Ho offers high-end living space and prime location, but liquidity and investment performance need to be carefully considered. Customers buying to live will benefit from a quality living environment, while investors need to choose the type of apartment that suits their personal financial strategy.
