Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City cancels software park license



Ho Chi Minh City authorities said yesterday they have revoked the license issued to TA Associates Vietnam for building the Thu Thiem Software Park in District 2 for failing to proceed on schedule.

The people’s committee said TA had failed to proceed with the project as committed despite much support extended to it.

The US$1.2-billion, 650,000 sq.m park in the Thu Thiem New Urban Zone broke ground in July 2008 and was scheduled for completion next year.

It was expected to provide around 70,000 jobs.

The city government has ordered the Thu Thiem New Urban Zone to look for another investor to replace TA.

In 2009 the zone had asked the people’s committee to revoke the license due to tardy progress, Vietnam Investment Review weekly said.

At that time, amidst the global financial crisis, TA had delayed paying land rentals too, VIR quoted the zone as saying.
