1. Da Nang Moves to Resolve Legal Issues Surrounding the Cocobay Mega Project.

Da Nang authorities have added the Cocobay (The Empire) project to the list of developments eligible for special policies to resolve long-standing legal issues. Developed by Thanh Do JSC, the VND 11 trillion resort and residential complex began construction in 2016 but has been suspended since early 2022 due to legal and financial difficulties. This latest move is a positive step towards resolving outstanding issues and potentially restarting development. If successful, it could restore investor confidence and support the recovery of Da Nang’s resort property market. However, land valuation, financial obligations and legal procedures remain key issues to monitor before construction can resume.

3. 3 Key Factors to Consider When Investing in Commercial Real Estate in Da Nang.

The article highlights three key factors investors should consider when purchasing commercial real estate in Da Nang: customer traffic, property functionality, and capital efficiency. As retail supply expands, investment opportunities are becoming increasingly selective. Da Nang currently has nearly 176,000 sqm of retail space, with an average occupancy rate of 86%, while prime locations exceed 90%. Investors should prioritize locations attracting residents, tourists, and businesses, alongside flexible layouts suitable for F&B, retail, and lifestyle services. Additionally, effective capital allocation through payment incentives or financing is essential. Ultimately, sustainable rental income and tenant demand matter more than speculative property appreciation.
