  • Can Tho plans to auction rights to use a roughly 5-hectare former exhibition-center site in Cai Khe Ward during the second round of 2026 land auctions.
  • The city already has plans to auction 23 sites covering more than 111 hectares, with 16 auction plans approved and starting prices set for 10 sites.
  • The exhibition center moved to another location in October 2025, and the centrally located property has hosted few events since then.

Can Tho plans to add a prime piece of central land, the former city exhibition center, to its 2026 auction list.

The site covers about five hectares in Cai Khe Ward and could be included in the second round of land auctions this year. It was previously used by the Can Tho Investment, Trade Promotion and Exhibition Center, which moved elsewhere in October 2025.

Before the auction plan, the city had agreed to let the Department of Industry and Trade temporarily use the property for trade-promotion activities, trade fairs and exhibitions while it sought investment. The site has hosted few events since then, despite its central position and frontage on Le Loi Street and Tran Van Kheo Street.

The property is part of a broader 2026 auction program covering 23 sites with a combined area of more than 111 hectares. So far, authorities have approved auction plans for 16 of the 23 sites, including starting prices for 10.
