1. Da Nang selects investor for Liên Chiểu ‘super port’.
-
Da Nang has officially approved the investor for the Lien Chieu Container Port project, led by a consortium including APM Terminals, Hateco Group, and Hateco Port Company. The project spans 450 hectares with a total investment of over VND 45,000 billion and a 50-year operation term.

Expected to be a key infrastructure breakthrough, the port will handle up to 5.8 million TEU annually and accommodate large vessels up to 200,000 DWT. With construction progressing in phases over nearly 10 years, Lien Chieu Port is set to strengthen Da Nang’s position as a major logistics and maritime hub in Central Vietnam.

2. Da Nang Real Estate “Takeoff” Driven by International Finance and Free Trade Zones.
Da Nang’s real estate market is showing clear signs of acceleration in 2026 after a prolonged slowdown, supported by strong macroeconomic momentum. Key drivers include the launch of the Vietnam International Financial Center and plans for a free trade zone, which are reshaping the city into a financial and logistics hub. These developments are expected to attract international experts and boost demand for high-end housing, serviced apartments, and Grade A offices.
At the same time, tourism recovery and infrastructure expansion are reinforcing market growth. Property prices, particularly in coastal and central areas, have risen significantly, while supply and absorption both rebounded strongly in 2025. With increasing investment inflows and evolving economic positioning, Da Nang is transitioning from a “potential market” to a “booming market,” with strong prospects for sustainable long-term growth.

3. Da Nang to Relocate Tho Quang Fishing Port and Transform the Area into a Modern Tourist Port.
Da Nang plans to relocate Tho Quang Fishing Port, the largest fisheries hub in Central Vietnam, as part of its long-term urban strategy. While the port has played a vital role in regional seafood logistics, its location within a densely populated area has caused environmental pollution, traffic congestion, and conflicts with nearby residential and tourism zones. Authorities aim to move both the port and the adjacent 50-hectare fisheries industrial area to a more suitable location, ensuring continued operations while improving urban conditions.
Following the relocation, the current site will be redeveloped into a modern coastal urban and tourism complex, including a new tourist port. This transformation supports Da Nang’s shift toward a service-oriented and high-value economy, enhancing its waterfront landscape and unlocking prime land for development. The project also reflects a broader transition toward sustainable urban planning while maintaining support for local fishing communities and long-term economic growth.

4. Proposed Special Mechanisms for Sea-Reclamation Urban Project in Da Nang.
Bộ Tư pháp has released an appraisal report on a draft government decree introducing special mechanisms for a proposed sea-reclamation urban project in Da Nang. A key highlight is that strategic investors are not required to allocate on-site land for social housing. Instead, they must pay an equivalent amount based on 10% of residential land value and infrastructure costs. The draft also allows investors to transfer parts of the project after completing infrastructure and lease land with one-time payment for the entire project duration.
Additionally, investors can sublease land-use rights and transfer certain property types to foreign buyers within regulated limits. Foreign ownership is capped at 50% of apartments in a building or a maximum of 250 landed units per area. The draft also outlines flexible policies on mineral extraction for construction and grants local authorities greater autonomy in allocating sea areas, aiming to accelerate project implementation while ensuring regulatory oversight.

5. Da Nang Opens Two New International Routes to Manila and Bali.
Da Nang has launched two new international routes from March 20, connecting the city with Manila and Bali. Operated by AirAsia Philippines and AirAsia Indonesia, both routes run four times per week using Airbus A320 aircraft. The Da Nang–Manila route operates on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, while the Bali route marks the first direct connection between the two destinations.
These new air links significantly improve accessibility between Central Vietnam and Southeast Asia, making travel more convenient for tourists and business travelers. The routes are expected to boost tourism flows, enhance trade connections, and strengthen cultural exchange between Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia, further positioning Da Nang as a key regional travel hub.
