1. Da Nang Publishes List Of 9 Approved Real-estate Brokerages.

 

1. The Da Nang Department of Construction has officially announced a list of nine licensed real-estate service companies operating legally under the Law on Real Estate Business 2023 and Decree 96/2024/NĐ-CP, effective from August 1, 2024. The list includes notable firms such as Cát Việt Rồng, SCD Real Estate Group, Cen Miền Trung, DKRA Virgo, and LandCorp Property Vietnam. This initiative aims to enhance transparency, accountability, and legal compliance in the city’s property market. Under the new law, all real-estate service providers — including brokerage, consulting, management, and trading floors — must register with the Department of Construction and be published on the national real-estate information system before operating.

2.  

   Currently, no real-estate trading floors in Da Nang have received licenses under the new regulations. Companies that were operating before August 2024 are given a six-month transition period (until February 1, 2025) to meet the new requirements. Authorities emphasized that this reform is part of a broader effort to curb speculation, prevent price manipulation, and standardize brokerage practices, ensuring a more professional and transparent real-estate environment in Da Nang.

2. Nearly VND 10,000 Billion to Build Marina Terminals, Develop Tourism in Da Nang.

 

Da Nang’s People’s Committee has approved a major inland waterway tourism development project with an investment of nearly VND 10,000 billion (USD 400–500 million) to enhance the city’s river tourism infrastructure. The plan includes building 20 modern piers along the Hàn, Vĩnh Điện, Cổ Cò, and Cẩm Lệ rivers, as part of the city’s vision to promote river-based tourism and diversify transport and leisure options.

 

The investment will be implemented in two phases. Phase 1 (through 2030) focuses on constructing 8 piers between Thuận Phước Bridge and Tiên Sơn Bridge, along with auxiliary works such as access roads, parking lots, ticket offices, waiting areas, landscape parks, and performance spaces. Phase 2 (2028–2031) will complete 12 additional piers across the Vĩnh Điện, Cổ Cò, and Cẩm Lệ rivers. The project will operate under a 50-year duration from the date of land allocation for phase 1, reinforcing Da Nang’s goal of becoming Vietnam’s leading river tourism destination.

3. Da Nang Port and Laos’ Savannakhet Special Economic Zone Sign Strategic Cooperation Agreement.

 

Danang Port Corporation recently signed a strategic memorandum of understanding with the Savannakhet Special Economic Zone in Laos. They agreed to facilitate preferential import-export conditions for businesses in Savannakhet, including reduced container handling fees and priority access to berths and warehouses at Danang Port. Positioned as a key maritime gateway for Vietnam’s central region, Danang Port plays a crucial role supporting Lao enterprises in transporting goods—especially via the East-West Economic Corridor. Modern port information systems, EDI solutions, and streamlined procedures will help accelerate customs clearance and lower logistics costs for goods from Savannakhet.

4. EU Has 22 FDI Projects Registered For Investment In Da Nang City.

 

At a meeting on October 16, led by Vice Chairman Trần Chí Cường, Da Nang’s People’s Committee welcomed a delegation from the EU Trade Attaché Office in Vietnam, headed by Mr. Ulrich Weigl, to discuss investment cooperation and partnership opportunities. The dialogue centered on Da Nang’s foreign investment policies, economic and trade development, and human resource strategies to support industrial and technological transformation. The city also emphasized its openness to foreign experts, particularly from Europe, to contribute to its innovation-driven sectors.

 

Currently, Da Nang hosts 22 EU-invested projects worth US$53.4 million, focusing on manufacturing, services, tourism, and IT. The city aims to expand cooperation in semiconductors, AI, IoT, genomics, and biotechnology, aligning with EU strengths. Having been recognized as one of Asia’s leading smart cities and Vietnam’s top ICT hub for 14 consecutive years, Da Nang continues to strengthen ties with 13 localities across 9 EU member states. These partnerships are expected to enhance sustainable growth in Da Nang’s industrial, commercial, and high-end real estate markets in the coming years.

5. Danang Must “clean up” About 70% of Land Databases at Commune and Ward Levels.

 

Da Nang City is swiftly executing a 9-day campaign, starting September 25, 2025, to “clean” its land database. This effort follows central government directives and includes verifying land user information, standardizing cadastral data, and assigning land plot ID codes to integrate with national systems. With 793,604 certified land plots and only a portion fully processed, about 70% of commune-level records still need updating.

The campaign aims to improve land management through digitalization, benefitting citizens by simplifying procedures and enabling access via the VNeID app. Businesses gain from legal clarity and faster processes, while the government enhances planning and resource management. Success depends on public cooperation, with officials urging media support to inform and guide the community in this national digital transformation effort.
