Nha Trang Airport Land Rezoned from Military Use to Residential Development

Nha Trang City People's Committee in Khánh Hòa province has reported on a localized adjustment to the 1/2000 scale urban planning for a 5.17-hectare area at the Nha Trang airport. This zone, currently under the management of the Air Force Officer School, was previously designated as "development reserve land" according to the 2013 urban plan.

The area to be re-zoned is bordered by the 87 Military Hospital to the east and north, Trần Quang Khải Street extended to the west, and planned road No. 5 to the south. This land is part of a larger 5.61-hectare project for military family housing, approved in 2016 and amended in 2019. The project received approval from the Ministry of National Defense and was assigned to the ACC Construction Corporation.

Crucially, a government decision on May 9, 2025, removed this specific land parcel from the list of military land. Furthermore, the revised General Urban Planning for Nha Trang City, approved by the Prime Minister on March 31, 2024, designates this area as "mixed urban center land." These developments paved the way for the proposed rezoning from military land to residential land.

According to the Nha Trang City People's Committee, this rezoning is intended to facilitate the development of commercial housing projects, meeting criteria for pilot programs approved by the National Assembly. The area is currently undeveloped and unoccupied. Authorities emphasized that this rezoning is entirely separate from the Phúc Sơn project at the Nha Trang airport.
