The projects were approved for transfer from land for growing rice to urban development land between 2015 and 2017, but remain long-delayed due to various reasons.
Two prominent projects are in the city’s central business districts. One located on the triangle of Tran Hung Dao, Nguyen Thai Hoc, and Pham Ngu Lao streets was in 2007 assigned to a joint venture between Thai Son Construction Company, Chi Thanh Investment

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport said on Friday afternoon that the municipal People’s Committee had given an in-principle approval for piloting a public bicycle-sharing system, named Mobike, in some areas across the city for 12 months.
The bicycle-sharing system, invested and operated by Tri Nam Group JSC, is meant to expand the network of public transport connections and thus, limit private vehicles in the inner-city areas in the coming time.
Forty-three bike docks will be established on many downtown streets, including Ham Nghi, Nguyen Hue, Vo Van Kiet, Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Pham Hong Thai, Nguyen Thi Nghia, Pham Ngu Lao, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Le Duan, Ton Duc Thang, and Le Thanh Ton.
