1. Renovation and Expansion of Terminal T1, Da Nang International Airport.

 

1. Da Nang has approved an investment policy for the VND 11.28 trillion expansion and renovation of Terminal T1 at Da Nang International Airport, led by Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV). The project comes as passenger demand continues to outpace capacity, with Terminal T1 serving 7.5 million passengers in 2025, well above its designed capacity of 6 million. The airport currently handles 130–170 flights daily, with passenger traffic growing by 20–30% annually, supported by an expanding network of domestic and international routes.

2.  

   The project will expand Terminal T1 to accommodate 14 million passengers annually, adding approximately 96,000 sqm of floor space and upgrading supporting infrastructure, including parking facilities, internal roads, and technical systems. Construction is expected to begin in August 2027, with the expansion operational by January 2029 and the full renovation completed by August 2029. The investment will strengthen Da Nang’s position as a major aviation hub, enhance regional connectivity, boost tourism, attract investment, and support the city’s long-term economic growth.

2. Lifespan Requirements for New Apartments: Unlocking Urban Renovation and Busting Speculation Traps.

 

Resolution 21 Orientation: Under Resolution No. 21-NQ/TW (issued July 28, 2026), newly constructed commercial apartments will have their usage period tied directly to the design lifespan and technical quality of the building, while long-term land-use rights are maintained. Urban Renovation Solution: This regulation resolves long-standing legal bottlenecks regarding urban revitalization, providing a clear legal framework to demolish, renovate, or rebuild degraded apartments safely without lengthy property disputes.

 

Resident & Owner Rights Protected: If an apartment reaches the end of its specified lifespan but passes safety inspections, residents can continue living there. If demolition is necessary, owners retain their land rights and can contribute funds toward rebuilding or receive land value compensation. Warning Against Speculative FOMO: Legal experts warn buyers to avoid falling into psychological traps set by real estate speculators or brokers. Speculators have been spreading false claims that existing “long-term ownership” apartments will skyrocket in price before new rules take effect, creating artificial market scarcity.

3. Da Nang Completes VND 6.2 Trillion Infrastructure for Lien Chieu Port.

 

Da Nang has invested more than VND 6,200 billion to complete the shared infrastructure for Lien Chieu Port, including a breakwater, navigation channel, access roads, and utility systems. This milestone paves the way for the construction of the port’s container terminal, a VND 45.3 trillion project developed by Hateco Group, Hateco Seaport, and APM Terminals. Once completed, the port will accommodate vessels of up to 18,000 TEU and handle 5.7 million TEU annually. Lien Chieu Port is expected to become Central Vietnam’s key logistics hub, boosting regional trade, attracting investment, reducing logistics costs, and strengthening Da Nang’s role in international maritime transport.

4. Da Nang to Launch 8 Additional Social Housing Projects.

 

Da Nang has approved the ACD Phuc Dong Consortium as the investor for a new social housing project at 10 Trinh Cong Son Street. The VND 818.4 billion development will cover 5,662 sqm and deliver 649 apartments for approximately 1,560 residents. The project is part of Da Nang’s broader affordable housing strategy, with the city targeting 4,979 social housing units in 2026. Currently, 44 projects totaling more than 39,500 apartments are under development or in the pipeline. Between 2025 and 2030, Da Nang aims to complete 28,955 social housing units, supporting the national one-million-home program and improving housing accessibility for local residents.

5. Draft Proposal Allows Transfer of Mortgaged Real Estate Projects.  

 

Vietnam’s draft amended Law on Real Estate Business proposes significant reforms to simplify transactions and improve market efficiency. The revised law, expected to be reviewed by the National Assembly in 2026, reduces the number of articles from 83 to 61 and cuts nine business conditions. It expands the types of real estate contracts eligible for transfer, allows projects without land-use certificates in certain cases to be transferred, introduces a unique identification code for every property, and permits local housing development funds to engage in real estate business without establishing separate companies.

 

A notable amendment eases project transfer requirements for mortgaged developments. Instead of requiring developers to fully release a mortgage before transferring a project, the draft only requires written consent from the mortgagee bank. The proposal also maintains payment limits for off-plan properties, with buyers paying no more than 95% before receiving the ownership certificate, while the remaining 5% is held in an escrow or secured account until the certificate is issued, providing greater protection for homebuyers and improving project liquidity.
