Factory & Warehouse for Lease in Quang Ninh – From $5/m²

Three economic pillars

Quang Ninh combines seaports (Cai Lan, Hon Gai, Cam Pha), international tourism around Ha Long Bay – a World Heritage Site – and a coal-industry base shifting to manufacturing and electronics. Together they create a diverse labour market, modern infrastructure and an open investment environment.

Mong Cai border gate – a Vietnam – China trade gateway

Mong Cai borders Dongxing (Guangxi, China) and is one of the main trade gates between the two countries. Companies with warehouses or factories in Quang Ninh benefit from this flow, especially those importing materials from China.

Integrated transport

The Ha Long – Hai Phong and Ha Long – Van Don – Mong Cai expressways, Bach Dang bridge and Van Don airport link Quang Ninh with Hanoi, Hai Phong and the border, supporting a growing industrial property market.

SEE the SPACE – From Dong Trieu to Mong Cai

Quang Ninh's market spans Ha Long – Cam Pha (ports, heavy industry), Quang Yen – Dong Trieu – Uong Bi (manufacturing, logistics) and Van Don – Mong Cai (border trade). Factory rents are currently about USD 5/m²/month. SEE the SPACE advises by industry and goal, free of charge.

Cai Lan and Viet Hung (Ha Long) – port-linked industry

Cai Lan park adjoins Cai Lan port, suiting export processing, container packing, building materials and port-support industries. Viet Hung, near central Ha Long, suits multi-sector manufacturing.

Quang Yen – an FDI hot spot

Bordering Hai Phong, Quang Yen hosts DEEP C Quang Ninh, Dong Mai, Bac Tien Phong and Song Khoai on the Ha Long – Hai Phong expressway, close to both Hai Phong and Cai Lan ports. It attracts strong FDI with many new ready-built factories.

Hai Yen and the Mong Cai border economic zone

The border zone offers tax and customs incentives, suiting Vietnam – China trade, bonded warehouses and consumer goods manufacturing.

Dong Trieu and Uong Bi – manufacturing for the domestic market

In the west, near Hai Phong (including Hai Duong) and Bac Ninh, with large land and lower rents than Ha Long, suiting building materials, engineering and labour-intensive industries.

Indicative rents

Ready-built factories in Quang Ninh are currently about USD 5/m²/month, excluding VAT and management fees. Quang Yen and Ha Long near the ports cost more; Dong Trieu and Uong Bi are usually cheaper. Actual rent depends on size, spec and lease term.

Costs to check before signing

• Management and park infrastructure fees
• Electricity tariff by voltage level, important for power-heavy industries
• Wastewater fees, often stricter near Ha Long Bay
• Deposit, usually 2 – 3 months depending on the landlord

SEE the SPACE prepares a total-cost table for each option before you decide.

Environmental standards

Being near Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh applies strict environmental requirements. Industries producing wastewater, emissions or hazardous waste need full environmental documentation and compliant treatment before park approval.

Incentives in Van Don and Mong Cai

Projects in the Van Don economic zone and Mong Cai border economic zone receive incentives on corporate income tax, equipment import duty and land rent under current regulations. Conditions vary by industry and scale, so check each project specifically.

Cai Lan port – Quang Ninh's container port

Cai Lan handles container and general cargo, complementing the Hai Phong port cluster. Warehouses near the port cut inland transport costs and customs time, important for exporters with tight delivery schedules.

Bonded and CFS warehouses in Mong Cai

The Mong Cai border economic zone has bonded and CFS warehouses for goods not yet cleared for import, suiting Vietnam – China traders needing flexible distribution to both markets.

Warehouses serving tourism

With large tourist numbers in Ha Long, Quang Ninh has steady demand for food, beverage, consumer goods and hotel supply warehouses, an overlooked but real segment.

Port-linked factories

A factory near the port shortens the produce – pack – containerise – ship chain. In Cai Lan and Quang Yen, many factories are just a few kilometres from the port. SEE the SPACE helps exporters choose factories for this model, free of charge.

Close to the Chinese market

A factory in Quang Ninh, especially Mong Cai, puts you right next to China: produce at Vietnamese cost and use tariff preferences under the ASEAN – China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA).

The China+1 strategy

Many groups are moving part of their production out of China while staying close to its supply chains. With Mong Cai border gate, Cai Lan port and modern transport, Quang Ninh meets that need well.

Suitable industries

• Seafood and food processing
• Consumer goods for export to China
• Logistics and warehousing for border trade
• Electronics and components exported by sea
• Building materials

Risks to weigh

Quang Ninh does not suit every industry: infrastructure and labour costs can be higher than delta provinces, strict environmental standards raise compliance costs and border trade policy can change. SEE the SPACE gives straight advice and, if Quang Ninh is not the best fit, recommends a better province.
