Vietnam - Da Nang Area
Vietnam - Da Nang Area
Status
Initial concept.
Role In First Phase
Potential Southeast Asia node for year-round life, access to nature, international airport connectivity, and regional growth.
Questions
- What legal structure can hold or lease land?
- What housing types are allowed?
- What areas near Da Nang balance nature, access, and quiet?
- What local partners are needed?
- Can the Village combine living, hospitality, agriculture, and education?
Legal Research Notes
Vietnam is attractive but legally more complex than Spain.
Key points:
- foreigners cannot own land directly
- land use usually works through LURC, concession, FIE, or JV
- foreign land use terms are commonly around 50 years
- agricultural land is difficult or unavailable directly to foreign investors
- modular/mobile homes need permits if stationary
Likely pilot model:
FIE or JV with local partner on properly classified tourism or commercial land, with Specus Village first acting as operator/brand rather than selling homes or investment rights.
