In particular, the 3 blocks A, B, C have seriously degraded for many years, with inspection results at level C, D (dangerous level because the building can collapse at any time).
Ten days earlier, to ensure the safety of residents, especially during the rainy and stormy season, Phu Nhuan Ward coordinated with the Land Fund Development Center to fence off Dong Da apartment building to limit people from entering and exiting according to the direction of the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province and Hue city.

Resettlement apartments will be arranged from the 4th floor upwards, floors 1-3 will serve public, service and commercial purposes. When construction is completed, with an area equal to 1.5 times the legal use area, the additional area according to the resettlement standard of 45m2 will be sold by the investor at 15 million VND/m2 and 18 million VND/m2 for the remaining area of the resettlement apartment.
Since 2013, the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province has had a policy of calling for investment in renovating and constructing Dong Da apartment complex, aiming to eliminate old apartment buildings and replace them with new ones, but for many years, investors have not been found. It was not until September 2023 that Thua Thien Hue province issued a decision approving the policy of building and renovating the apartment complex in the direction of high-rise apartments, commercial apartments combined with business and service areas.
The land area for construction investment in blocks A, B, C has a scale of more than 8,500m2, with a population of more than 2,000 people. The total investment for this project is expected to be nearly 1,300 billion VND; Dong Da Development and Investment Joint Stock Company (abbreviated as Dong Da Company) is the investor. The project is expected to start construction in September 2024, but up to this point the project has been behind schedule compared to the plan.
