The Zei My Dinh Apartment Management for Foreign Owners

The Building

About The Zei

The Zei is a single 42-floor tower on Le Duc Tho with 891 apartments, handed over in Q2 2021, with four floors of retail below and a separate component of 20 villas. Hanging gardens are set every three floors.

Location is the argument here. My Dinh is Hanoi's Korean quarter — K-Town in The Manor concentrates Korean residents, restaurants, cafés and supermarkets — and expat agencies describe this immediate area as Korean town. The Korean International School in Hanoi sits on Le Duc Tho extended, and Metro Line 3 has a station named after the street itself, running since August 2024.

The unit mix matters for positioning: the smallest apartment in the building is an 84 m² two-bedroom. There is no studio or one-bedroom stock at all, which rules out the single-tenant budget segment and points the building squarely at families and sharers.

Indicative asking rent

Layout	USD / month	VND / month
2 bedrooms (84–94 m²)	$1,000–1,250	11–20 million
3 bedrooms (104–108 m²)	$1,260–1,600	15–25 million

Asking prices on public listings, July 2026 — not transacted rents, and not a quote. The local-channel figures here are six to twelve months old. The gap between channels is stark in this building: a 108 m² three-bedroom asks around 20 million dong on Vietnamese listing sites and $1,260–1,600 through expat agencies. Achieved rent depends on floor, view, furnishing and lease term. Ask us for current availability and a realistic figure for your unit.

How These Apartments Got There

The same sequence we would run for your apartment in The Zei.

The apartments above did not arrive rent-ready. Each one went through the same sequence — and that sequence is what we offer an owner who hands us a unit in this building.

First we make it rentable

✓Interior & Furnishing — layout, sourcing, installation and styling
✓Fixed package price agreed in writing before anything is ordered
✓From $4,000 for a one-bedroom, $5,000 for two, $6,000 for three
✓Professional photography on completion, ready to list
✓Nothing bought without your approval

Then we let it and run it

✓Tenant Sourcing — marketed to expat tenants, screened, lease signed. One month’s rent on signing
✓Property Management — rent, bills, repairs, inspections. 4% of annual rent
✓Monthly statement in English, wherever you live
✓Contractors who have already worked in this building
✓Your written approval before any non-urgent spend

Notes for owners in The Zei

This building shows the two-channel rental market more clearly than any other in our portfolio. The same 108 m² three-bedroom is advertised at roughly 20 million dong on Vietnamese listing sites and at $1,260–1,600 through agencies serving foreign tenants — a difference of well over ten million dong a month on identical floor area.

The gap is not free money. The higher figure reflects a furnished apartment, an English-speaking point of contact, management included, and a landlord who can handle a company lease and issue proper invoices. Those are the things an owner living in Hong Kong or Seoul cannot supply from a distance, and they are exactly what we do.

So the practical question for an owner here is not “what is the market rent” but “which market am I actually in”. If your apartment is currently let through a local agent at a local rate, it is worth a conversation about what it would take to reposition it.
