A neglected and abandoned housing project in Hanoi, Vietnam. The project, intended for middle-income and social housing, has been left unoccupied, with nature reclaiming the buildings.

With a total area of over 12.2 hectares and a planned population of more than 3,000 people, the project is located in a convenient area with easy access to transportation. The north side borders National Highway 32, the east side borders the railway, and the west side borders the residential area of Kieu Mai village.

Despite being located in the center of a district with well-developed infrastructure and completed in 2013, the relocation apartment buildings remain unoccupied.

Years of neglect have taken a toll on the buildings, with visible signs of deterioration on the exterior.

Nature has taken over the entrance to the building, with vegetation blocking the path.

Some parts of the building are damaged and in need of repair.

From 2014 to 2021, four of the buildings were temporarily used as offices for the District People’s Committee of Bac Tu Liem. However, since the committee moved to a new location, these buildings have also been left vacant.



Debris, including ceiling panels and furniture, is scattered across the floors of the abandoned buildings.

“As a resident living nearby, it’s a waste to see these buildings empty. For over a decade now, the area has been abandoned, and not many dare to venture here,” shared Mr. Tan Duc, a local resident.

The surrounding area has been utilized by locals for vegetable gardens and parking.

According to statistics, Hanoi has 170 unoccupied relocation apartment projects, totaling over 4,000 apartments. Architect Tran Huy Anh from the Hanoi Association of Architects suggested, “For abandoned relocation apartments, we should repair and upgrade them to a high standard and offer them for rent at reasonable prices. By doing so, we can achieve a dual benefit of preserving public assets and restoring trust in the management of public property.”
