On June 2nd, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee organized a conference to disseminate and implement Conclusion No. 24-KL/TW of the Politburo and Resolution No. 29/2026/QH16 of the National Assembly; to summarize the implementation of Plan No. 34/KH-UBND and to implement Plan No. 243/KH-UBND on continuing to remove difficulties and obstacles for long-standing stalled projects.
At the conference, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association Le Hoang Chau informed that the association had received nearly 140 projects with outstanding issues that have not yet been put into use.
The association recommends that the city's competent authorities promptly classify the difficult, problematic, and long-standing projects that have been reported to the "System 45" in order to identify the competent agency and level for handling them.
Mr. Tran Anh Quan, Deputy General Director of Sunshine Saigon, shared that previously, the company had two large projects that had been stalled for many years without resolution. By 2025, thanks to the attention of city leaders and decisive policies to resolve the issues, the two projects have been largely resolved. He also highly appreciated the efforts of relevant departments in resolving the issues, contributing to increasing the housing supply for the market.
According to Nguyen Toan Thang, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Agriculture and Environment, the department was assigned to lead and oversee 265 long-standing stalled projects and land plots. To date, the department has completed the resolution of all assigned projects, has a plan for further resolution, and is continuing to implement solutions for 100% of them.
Most of the outstanding projects are complex and have spanned multiple periods. The biggest bottleneck currently lies in determining the legal status of land and the financial obligations for these projects.
To definitively resolve the bottlenecks mentioned above, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Agriculture and Environment proposes implementing several solutions such as: allowing the application of a simplified conversion method by using the Land Price Table at the corresponding time (x) with the Land Price Adjustment Coefficient of 2015 issued by the Provincial People's Committee to determine land-related financial obligations; shortening intermediate steps to help businesses have a basis for paying financial obligations to receive land handover and be granted Land Use Right Certificates.
Representatives from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction stated that they have completed advising on the handling of all 115 assigned projects, achieving 100% of their tasks. A review of these 115 projects revealed that 80% of the outstanding projects stem from systemic shortcomings, particularly a lack of coordination between planning, investment, land use, and construction.
According to a representative from the department, continuing to process each case individually would be very time-consuming and unlikely to bring about substantial change. Therefore, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction has proactively proposed a new approach: identifying common problem groups and then advising on a general mechanism to resolve issues for multiple projects simultaneously.
Regarding the development of social housing, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction has identified three major bottlenecks: lengthy investment procedures; a lack of suitable land; and a shortage of ready-to-implement projects.
In recent times, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction has proactively advised the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to issue procedures for implementing social housing projects. The time required for administrative procedures has been shortened by approximately 50% compared to before. From now until the end of 2026, the city plans to start construction on 65 projects with approximately 63,500 social housing units.
Regarding thematic inspections aimed at resolving obstacles for stalled and long-standing projects, Deputy Chief Inspector of Ho Chi Minh City, Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy, informed that the Ho Chi Minh City Inspectorate has deployed 12 inspection teams to 94 construction projects, land plots, and has issued 12 inspection conclusions.
Recently, the Ho Chi Minh City Inspectorate also deployed an additional 6 inspection teams and 1 inter-agency inspection team to examine 100 out of 838 outstanding projects and is expected to issue inspection conclusions before June 5th.
