Dong Nai uses prime land for parking lots.

A prime 5,700 m2 plot of land with two street frontages in the heart of Bien Hoa City has been renovated to serve as a free parking lot while awaiting auction.

Over the past few days, the construction unit has been planting trees, building sidewalks, and paving the ground to soon complete the 5,700 m2 parking lot on both sides of Cach Mang Thang Tam and Vo Thi Sau streets in Quyet Thang ward.

This land previously housed the Dong Nai General Hospital and the Provincial Committee for the Protection of Cadre Health. After the hospital relocated to its new headquarters on Dong Khoi Street, the land was handed over to the Provincial Land Fund Development Center. In 2022, the land was auctioned for 158 billion VND but remained unsold, so the Bien Hoa City People's Committee proposed that the province "temporarily borrow" it to use as a free parking lot for residents.

According to Do Khoi Nguyen, Chairman of the People's Committee of Bien Hoa City, after the parking lot is completed, all cars belonging to businesses, hotels, schools, and religious establishments in the surrounding area will be allowed to park for free. The city has also posted "no parking" signs on Vo Thi Sau and Cach Mang Thang Tam streets near the parking lot, contributing to maintaining order and aesthetics.

Besides being used as a parking lot before the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Dragon 2024, the land also serves as a place for people to exercise and organize cultural and artistic activities on a suitable scale. Previously, many prime plots of land on Phan Van Tri Street (2,000 m2) and Hung Dao Vuong Street (3,700 m2) were also renovated by the Bien Hoa authorities into parking lots.

According to the leaders of Bien Hoa City, the locality will soon propose to the Provincial People's Committee to include this land in the city's park and parking lot planning to serve the people. In addition, many other prime land plots will be re-planned to create parks and parking lots, providing open spaces and a pleasant landscape for the community.

The "frozen" real estate market is making it difficult to auction off prime land in Dong Nai province. Not only in Bien Hoa, but many strategically located plots of land in Cam My, Trang Bom, and Long Thanh are also facing difficulties in being put up for auction. In particular, many plots of land have gone through a second auction without attracting any bidders.
