HCMC — A total of 712 privately-funded projects in Hanoi, spanning more than 11,300 hectares, are behind schedule or remain unimplemented.
Of these, 420 projects covering 9,095 hectares have been removed from the delayed project list but will continue to be monitored under regulations, reported the Vietnam News Agency.
Another 292 projects, with a combined area of 2,337 hectares, have received extensions of up to 24 months due to force majeure events. Authorities will supervise and conduct post-extension reviews for these cases.
The Hanoi government has added land management to its anti-waste agenda for 2025 and beyond. The city plans to review the 712 delayed projects, along with 117 additional cases proposed by district-level authorities, during the second and third quarters of 2025.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environment has been assigned to accelerate the development of a digital cadastral system and land management database this year.
Several large-scale developments, including Vuon Cam, Lideco, An Lac, Duong Noi, Nam An Khanh, Kim Chung-Di Trach, and Me Linh, have made little progress despite earlier expectations.
One notable case is a 13,400-square-meter site at 254 Hoang Quoc Viet Street in Bac Tu Liem District. Approved in 2009 for a commercial and office complex by Hanoi Youth Business JSC—later renamed Familia JSC—the project remains undeveloped after 16 years.
Another stalled project is the planned Hanoi Software Technology Park at 94 Lo Duc Street in Hai Ba Trung District.
