         1. Da Nang is emerging as one of Vietnam’s most attractive destinations for both residents and investors, drawing 15,000–16,000 new arrivals each year and ranking third nationwide in immigration rate. Its appeal stems from rare advantages: a strategic East–West economic corridor location, a harmonious mix of mountains, rivers, forests, and Vietnam’s longest coastline, plus a mild climate and clean environment. Strong social policies, modern multimodal infrastructure, and a vast newly expanded land reserve further reinforce Da Nang’s long-term growth potential.

             

         2. Experts consider Da Nang’s real estate market highly promising thanks to solid fundamentals, reasonable prices, and significant room for expansion. Upcoming infrastructure catalysts—Lien Chieu Port, the international financial center, Vietnam’s first free-trade zone, airport expansion, and major tourism projects—are set to accelerate growth. Large-scale urban–entertainment complexes like the 80,000-billion-VND Da Nang Downtown project will elevate living standards, attract global talent, strengthen the night-time economy, and position Da Nang for a sustainable and competitive property boom.

2. The Appeal of the Lien Chieu Port Project.

Three major global port operators have submitted bids for the VND 45,000-billion Lien Chieu Port project in Da Nang, reflecting its strong international appeal. According to the city’s Infrastructure Project Management Board, the bidders include leading consortiums from the Netherlands, India, Luxembourg, and Vietnam, all with extensive experience in global port operations and logistics. Their proposals cover the development of eight modern container berths, green-port infrastructure, and synchronized support facilities across 172.6 hectares. With investor selection now in its final stage, bidding is expected to open at the end of December, paving the way for groundbreaking in early 2026.

Lien Chieu Port is master-planned on 450 hectares with two components: publicly funded shared infrastructure and privately funded berths. The container port alone features 2,750 meters of quay length, capacity for vessels up to 200,000 DWT, multimodal logistics facilities, and a throughput of up to 5.8 million TEU annually. Supporting areas include bulk cargo terminals, LNG/LPG berths, oil terminals, and advanced road and maritime access routes. Shared infrastructure—breakwaters, dredging, and road connections—has reached 95% completion, with Da Nang aiming to finish all core works by the end of this year to activate a new logistics ecosystem for the central region.

3. Good News for Real Estate Buyers, Sellers, and Landlords.

1. 1. 

      The article reports that the proposal to tax real estate transactions based on profit (20% of gain) has been cancelled. Instead, the current method of charging a flat 2% on the sale price will continue, as it is simpler and easier to apply. For rental properties, individuals will not have to pay tax if their annual rental revenue does not exceed 500 million VND. Tax will only apply to the amount above this threshold. This change is considered good news for buyers, sellers, and landlords because it reduces paperwork, avoids complicated cost verification, and eases the tax burden for small-scale rentals. This update is important because it helps reduce tax complexity for property transactions and makes rental activities more accessible for individual landlords. By keeping the flat 2% tax instead of taxing based on profit, buyers and sellers avoid complicated cost documentation and potential disputes. Additionally, raising the tax-free rental revenue threshold to 500 million VND per year eases the financial burden on small landlords and encourages more participation in the rental market.

4. Da Nang Granted Additional Special Mechanisms for Free Trade Zone and Promotion of TOD.

1. 1. 

      On December 11, Vietnam’s National Assembly approved amendments to Resolution 136/2024/QH15, granting Da Nang additional special mechanisms to accelerate strategic development. Key policies include establishing a free trade zone, promoting transit-oriented development (TOD), enabling urban expansion into reclaimed coastal areas, and introducing more flexible criteria for selecting strategic investors. These measures aim to build a modern, interconnected ecosystem integrating advanced infrastructure, high-quality financial–commercial services, and new urban models to attract international capital.

       

      The revised resolution also clarifies regulations on land recovery for major projects, ensures transparency in financial and land-use mechanisms, and strengthens oversight by local People’s Councils. TOD development must strictly adhere to safety corridors and avoid inefficient land use, while incentives for strategic investors are refined to ensure transparency and competitiveness. Aligning Da Nang’s free trade zone framework with Ho Chi Minh City and Hai Phong creates a unified national policy direction, supporting regional linkages and enhancing Da Nang’s long-term economic role.

Vietnam officially announced the establishment of its International Financial Centre (IFC) on December 21, 2025, at a high-level conference chaired by Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính. The event also marked the formal launch of the IFC operating agency in Đà Nẵng, alongside Ho Chi Minh City, under the legal framework of National Assembly Resolution 222/2025/QH15. The IFC will operate as a unified legal entity across both cities, applying consistent governance, licensing, and professional standards.

Đà Nẵng leaders reaffirmed the city’s commitment to building a transparent, internationally aligned financial ecosystem. The launch of the local operating agency and leadership appointments highlights Đà Nẵng’s growing role as a regional financial and innovation hub within Vietnam’s global integration strategy.
