Construction Updates

Da Nang construction update – 2022 edition

May 9, 2022 By James Clark Leave a Comment

After nearly two years since the international borders closed, Vietnam reopened to the world in March 2022. As soon as I was able to return I went to Da Nang. My last construction report for Da Nang was in the first year of the lockout in November 2020. Few would have predicted that the country […]

Binh Thuan construction update – 2022 edition

April 26, 2022 By James Clark 2 Comments

Bình Thuan Province in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam is best known for the beach resorts of Phan Thiet and Mui Ne. It doesn’t have the level of tourism of Nha Trang and Da Nang (not having an airport is a major factor), but it has its own niche of visitors. In the […]

Kampot and Kep construction update – 2022 edition

February 15, 2022 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Kampot and Kep are two coastal provinces in Southern Cambodia. Kep was actually part of Kampot until it was turned into a province in 2008. Kep is the smallest province in Cambodia (and smaller than Phnom Penh), so I’m not sure of the logic of turning it into a province instead of a city within […]

Sihanoukville Construction Update – 2022 Edition

January 25, 2022 By James Clark 6 Comments

Sihanoukville has emerged from a construction frenzy that was unprecedented for a city this size in Southeast Asia. Cambodia opened the flood gates for Chinese investors to build casinos and hotels in Sihanoukville, with very little government oversight. In the latter half of the 2010s, Sihanoukville had the feeling of a Wild West boomtown (it […]

Phnom Penh construction update – 2022 edition

January 4, 2022 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Phnom Penh continues its construction boom, which has mostly been continuing despite the interruption of the pandemic. According to the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC), Cambodia’s construction sector attracted a total investment of US$5.33 billion in 2021. Publicised by the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC), the report […]

Line 1 Line 1 has been making slow progress, with the latest revised opening date set for the end of 2022. It has been another tumultuous […]

Ho Chi Minh City construction update – 2021 edition

July 27, 2021 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Here is the third annual Ho Chi Minh City construction update (following on from the 2019 and 2020 construction updates). Continuing from last year, COVID-19 continues to cast a shadow over the construction sector. In fact this year has been worse, as Vietnam was one of the best performing countries in handling the virus in […]

Phu Quoc construction report 2021 – The biggest leisure development site in Southeast Asia

May 11, 2021 By James Clark 7 Comments

The island of Phu Quoc in Vietnam has gone through an unprecedented decade of growth, with the government intent on turning this once sleepy island into a “sleepless city”. I say unprecedented because I have never seen anywhere in Southeast Asia that compares to what is going on here (Sihanoukville in Cambodia would be the […]

Vung Tau construction update – 2021 edition

March 29, 2021 By James Clark Leave a Comment

Vung Tau is a popular beach resort city in Southern Vietnam. Its proximity to Ho Chi Minh City makes it a defacto beach suburb for the city. In 2020 I did construction reports for the beach cities of Da Nang and Nha Trang, both of which rely heavily on international tourism. You could see first-hand […]
