Novaland Group’s real estate developments in Vietnam are undergoing various regulatory and legal processes. In Dong Nai, the Department of Construction approved nearly 3,800 residential units within the $8 billion Aqua City project to be sold as future-formed real estate, noting compliance with the 2023 Law on Real Estate Business.

Simultaneously, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has directed local authorities to review legal obstacles affecting two major Novaland projects in Ho Chi Minh City: the 136-hectare Thanh My Loi B residential area and the 30.2-hectare Binh Khanh – The Water Bay resettlement area. Authorities are investigating the causes of delays and evaluating whether the Binh Khanh – The Water Bay project qualifies for special mechanisms following the revocation of previous land allocation decisions due to management violations.
