Ho Chi Minh City identifies 64 apartment buildings for relocation

Ho Chi Minh City has identified 64 old apartment buildings, comprising 106 lots and 8,577 apartments, that are slated for relocation and demolition. According to the Department of Construction, while these structures require removal, none are currently classified as requiring emergency demolition.

Of the 16 Grade D buildings inspected since 2017, 828 out of 1,194 households have been relocated. Twelve of these buildings have been fully vacated, while two others are in the process of relocation. The city is working toward a plan to complete the renovation and reconstruction of these sites by 2030.

To support displaced residents, local authorities are tasked with reviewing temporary housing needs and providing rental assistance where applicable. For specific sites like the Vinh Hoi apartment complex, relocation efforts are being conducted alongside the approval of detailed planning to attract future investors.
