The city also fined the project owner, Minh Thuy construction company, VND90 million (US$4,000) for their violations.

According to an inspection team from the city’s construction department, the Eden Hotel, which is part of the Royal Era 1 apartment and trade complex, was planned with 23 storeys (96 rooms) including a basement in 2016. However, the project owner intentionally developed one more storey and increase the number of rooms to 226 by January of 2018.

The construction progress of the hotel project was then stopped by the inspection team.

The project owner submitted adjustments to the design, but the city rejected the revised plan.

Earlier, the city also fined the Empire Group, owner of the entertainment CocoBay complex VND40 million ($1,800) for developing a building without a construction licence.

In 2016, the city also suspended illegal construction at the 42-storey Muong Thanh Apartment project in Ngu Hanh Son District when the investor changed designs of a kindergarten and parking area into 104 apartments for sale.

In January of 2018, Da Nang fined the owner of The Song - Da Nang Beach Villa project VND100 million ($4,400) for an illegally enlarged beach resort in Ngu Hanh Son District.

The city has been in negotiations with 33 beach resort project owners to make sure they reserve pathways to the beach for the public and tourists.
