On August 14, numerous construction workers and six excavators were deployed to dismantle Zone B of the complex. The workers were tasked with breaking down the concrete structures, marking the latest development in the long-stalled project.
This action comes six years after the provincial authorities halted the construction of the Commercial Services and Luxury Apartment Complex in Dong Khoi Street, Tam Hiep Ward, Dong Nai Province.

The illegal construction of the Commercial Services and Luxury Apartment Complex in Tam Hiep Ward (former Bien Hoa City) has finally been addressed after years of detection.
The project, invested by Dong Nai Civil and Industrial Construction Joint Stock Company No. 1, spans an area of over 2.2 hectares with a total investment of nearly VND 680 billion. It comprises three sections labeled as Zones A, B, and C.
Previously, the land belonged to the state and was leased to Dong Nai Civil and Industrial Construction Joint Stock Company No. 1 by the People’s Committee of Dong Nai Province. In 2002, the company was granted a land use right certificate for the purpose of establishing offices and production workshops.
However, the authorities determined that the company had misused the land by constructing the complex without obtaining the necessary approvals for changing the land use purpose.
In 2018, the People’s Committee of Bien Hoa City (now merged with Dong Nai Province) issued an administrative penalty decision for the two illegally constructed buildings. The investor was compelled to obtain the necessary permits, or else face enforcement measures.

In 2019, the provincial authorities of Dong Nai ordered the suspension of construction and urged the investor to voluntarily dismantle the structures to minimize losses. Zone A, a four-story conference and event center with one basement level, spanning an area of approximately 3,500 square meters, was operational in 2017.

Zone B, intended as a five-story commercial center with one basement level, had its main building’s first floor constructed with reinforced concrete, covering an area of over 4,300 square meters. Neither Zone A nor Zone B possessed the requisite construction permits.

Zone C, planned as a combination of offices and luxury apartments with 12-14 stories and two basements, has not been implemented yet.

After nearly six years of discussions and deliberations, the conclusion reached by the authorities was to allow the investor to dismantle the structures voluntarily.


Approximately 70% of the concrete floor and basement of Zone B have been demolished to retrieve the reinforcing steel within. Excavators are still working to dismantle the remaining parts of the project.
