Difficult real estate market led many construction projects in HCM City to come to a virtual standstill.

In Thu Duc district, some projects such as Song Da River Sid in Hiep Binh Chanh ward, Green House apartment in Linh Tay ward have come to standstill.

The Green House project was under construction since mid-2010 by Petroleum Power Property JSC (PVL). However after the base construction and official announcement for sale at the start of 2011, it now has come  to a standstill.

BMC – Hung Long high quality apartments project in district 7, HCM City invested by BMC Building Materials and Construction Co (BMC) was under construction but now it has come a halt.

Quoc Cuong Gia Lai high quality apartments in Pham Hung street (Binh Chanh district) invested by Quoc Cuong Gia Lai Group has been constructed to storey 30 but also stopped construction for the last few months. The same situation also took place in the Tan Phu District, Go Vap district, District 9 and Nha Be District.

Phung Van Nang, President of Nam Viet Real Estate Co said that it is very wasteful when a huge amount of money being poured into these dead projects.

Not only apartment sectors but also office for lease projects also fell into this situation. Vietnam Financial Centre (VFC) project which was invested by Berjaya Group (Malaysia) is a typical example. Its investments reached $930 million with the plan to build a complicated zone with five 39-48 storey high towers in an area of 6.8 hectares. VFC project had been offered certificate in 2008 but till now it has been in construction yet.

Vietnam International University Urban zone (VIUT) project with total $3.5 billion of investments from Berjaya Group also has not been carried out.

Chair of HCM City People’s Committee, Le Hoang Quan warned that if VFC’s investors continue to delay the construction and investing procedures as guaranteed, HCM People’s Committee will consider claw back its certificate. With the same situation, Tay Bac urban zone’s board of managers has petitioned HCM City People’s Committee for certificate repossession of VIUT’s investors with the reason of the investors’ lack of financial ability.

In a talk with baodautu.vn ‘s reporter, Nguyen Hoai Nam, President of Berjaya Vietnam admitted that the progress of 2 projects was slower than expected due to objective reasons and market causes. Nam also said that in VFC project, it has paid over one trillion dong for land clearing compensation and waited for constructing certificate. VFC is expected to start construction at the beginning of 2013.
