## FAQ
### How does Hanoi compare to Ho Chi Minh City?
Hanoi is materially smaller than HCMC as a Class A market and offers ~15-25% rent discount. Government and FDI manufacturing depth is stronger; financial services depth is shallower.

### What is the role of Korean FDI?
Material. Samsung Electronics' Vietnam operations (Bac Ninh and Thai Nguyen plants) anchor a deep Korean FDI cluster. Korean banks, manufacturing supply-chain partners, and trading houses maintain HQs in Hanoi.

### What is the impact of the metro rollout?
Metro Line 2A (Cat Linh - Ha Dong, opened 2021) and Line 3 (Nhon - Hanoi Station, partially open 2024) are reshaping Hanoi commute economics. Continued metro rollout will materially affect submarket rent dynamics through 2030.
