The
Tuan Chau Ecopark township and entertainment project in Hanoi has been given a
new lease of life after the developer’s revised design was given the official
seal of approval early this month.
The project started construction four years
ago but it was then ground to a halt as the project contained an 18-hole golf
course, which was then excluded from the design because its golf course as not
in line with the national golf course development master plan approved by the prime
minister two years ago.
The project’s construction also encountered
hiccoughs because it was located in the former Ha Tay province, which was
merged into Hanoi in 2008. Over the last three years urban planners worked on a
new master plan for Hanoi and that required almost all urban projects in former
Ha Tay province to halt construction for reviewing.
After the master plan for Hanoi was approved
last year, Tuan Chau Hanoi JSC - the developers of Tuan Chau Ecopark - started
revised the detail development master plan for the project and Hanoi People’s
Committee recently permitted the developers to go ahead with the revisions.
Under the new design, Tuan Chau Ecopark will
no longer have a golf course. Instead, the project will feature a 110-hectare
Disneyland-style park, hotels, hospitals and residential components.
A source from the company revealed that the
project would focus more on residential development than previously with the
area earmarked for housing development increasing remarkably compared to the
former design.
In addition, the township would be developed
as an ecological residential area similar to Vincom Village in Long Bien
district where around 1,000 villas are under construction along artificial
rivers.
All of this is in line with Hanoi’s master
plan to 2030 with a vision toward 2050.
Located in Quoc Oai district, the project will
house 6,300 people and the Tuan Chau urban area.
According to the project plan, the 1/500
detailed design is expected to finish next month while site clearance is due
for completion this August.
