The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has issued a plan for the implementation of a project to renovate and rebuild old and dilapidated apartment buildings in the city. The project aims to address the severe deterioration of many residential areas constructed before 1994.
The implementation process is divided into seven steps, including allocating regular capital, developing detailed project planning, conducting construction quality inspections, establishing renovation plans for each area, repairing apartments, establishing administrative procedures, and addressing legal issues in long-stalled projects.
Notably, Ho Chi Minh City will conduct a bidding process to select new investors with sufficient qualifications to replace units that are no longer legally compliant or slow to implement, especially in projects carried out by state-owned enterprises or those that have been transferred.
According to the plan, Ho Chi Minh City will complete the construction of 16 new Grade D apartments that were severely damaged and posed safety risks. Specifically, the city will finish the construction of seven Grade D apartments built before 1975 that have been inspected, relocated, and demolished. Additionally, nine Grade D apartments, also built before 1975 and inspected but not yet relocated or only partially relocated, will be reconstructed. The plan also includes Grade D apartments that have newly emerged or suffered from tilting and sinking, as well as those falling under the provisions of Clause 2, Article 59 of the 2023 Housing Law.

Furthermore, Ho Chi Minh City will substantially complete the repair, upgrade, and reinforcement work for Grade B and C apartments constructed between 1975 and 1994, as well as Grade B and C apartments built before 1975.
By 2035, Ho Chi Minh City aims to finish renovating and rebuilding all apartments constructed before 1975. Simultaneously, the city plans to complete the renovation and reconstruction of Grade D apartments or those that have reached the end of their lifespan, built between 1975 and 1994.
The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee has instructed the heads of departments, branches, and Chairpersons of district-level People’s Committees to urgently implement the tasks according to the plan formulated by the Department of Construction, ensuring progress, quality, and meeting the set requirements.
The Department of Construction, in coordination with the Department of Finance, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, and relevant districts, is assigned to regularly monitor, urge, inspect, and handle any issues arising during the implementation process.
In cases where relevant agencies and units undergo mergers, consolidations, dissolutions, or name changes due to organizational restructuring, the successor unit will continue to perform the assigned tasks under the new name.
During the implementation process, if any difficulties or problems arise requiring adjustments or additions, the departments, branches, and localities are requested to proactively coordinate with the Department of Construction to synthesize and report to the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee for consideration and decision-making.
According to a report by the Department of Construction, Ho Chi Minh City currently has 474 apartments with 573 lots constructed before 1975 that are in a state of serious deterioration and pose safety hazards.
Quality inspections identified 16 Grade D apartments, 116 Grade C apartments, 332 Grade B apartments, and 12 apartments that have been demolished or had their purpose changed. Among these, five Grade D apartments in a state of severe disrepair have been completely dismantled, and six dilapidated apartments have been demolished.
For the group of apartments constructed between 1975 and 1994, there are 52 low-rise apartments (below eight floors) and 33 buildings with land areas below 1,000 square meters. The ownership and usage status of these apartments are complex.
