Three projects in downtown Da Nang have been abandoned for 15 years as the investors were not capable of resuming work.

The three projects are located at prime locations on Hung Vuong Street in Hai Chau District, about 400 meters from the Han River.

They are the Da Nang Center project (No. 1), Diamond Square project (No. 2), and the Golden Square commercial complex, office, hotel, and luxury apartment project (No. 3).

The Da Nang Center project, invested in by Vu Chau Long Real Estate, covers an area of ​​​​more than 7,800 square meters and has a total capital of nearly VND500 billion ($21.25 million).

When construction started in March 2008, the project was advertised as high-rise apartment buildings, a high-class standard commercial center, and a five-star hotel and conference center.

However, no development has been going on and rainwater has turned the project area into a pond.

With its northern façade bordering a residential area, part of the project has now been turned into a landfill as locals arbitrarily throw trash into the area.

Another façade of the project is where people park their vehicles and plaster flyers on the wall.

Lying across from a city park, the Diamond Square project at 84 Hung Vuong St. was designed to have a commercial center, office building, hotel, and high-class apartments.

Golden Square has also become a place for gathering trash carts.

The city government has worked with the investors of the three projects many times, allowing them to transfer the projects to more capable investors. But they have taken no action to resume the projects.
