Da Nang/Property/Foreign buyers

Updated September 2026 Facts checked 10 September 2026

Buying a Condo in Da Nang?
Start With These 3.

Hundreds of apartments are for sale in Da Nang. The hard part is working out which exact units a foreign buyer can purchase, what the real price is, and whether the project suits how you will use it.

These are three projects we'd inspect first - not three properties we'd buy blind.

What does your budget open up?

Choose a rough ceiling. We'll narrow the page, not add listings.

Brackets are rough dollar ceilings for orientation, not converted prices.

The shortlist

Three projects. Three different reasons to consider them.

01

Best ready-now choice

The Filmore Da Nang

The first place we'd inspect if you want a finished premium apartment in central Da Nang rather than buying from a construction render.

Best for
Living in Da Nang now, in the centre, in a building you can inspect and whose rents you can read today.
Status
Completed / operating
Location
Han River - Hai Chau

Current asking-price guide - verify exact unit

One-bedroom units in current public listings sit roughly around VND 5.4-7.3 billion; one listed 51.3 sq m unit on a low floor was advertised at US$208,000.

Two-bedroom asking prices vary considerably by unit, floor and source - roughly VND 8-13 billion in the listings we read, quoted before VAT and the maintenance fund.

Main strength

You can inspect the finished product.

Main downside

The entry price sits well above many newer mass-market Da Nang projects, and the best views command a large premium.

Foreign buyers

Foreign ownership basis is reported as 50 years for eligible foreign buyers.

Exact unit quota: Must be checked before deposit.

02

Best newer riverfront starting point

Sun Symphony Residence

The project we'd compare first if you want newer riverfront inventory and a wider spread of apartment sizes and entry prices.

Best for
Newer construction on the Han River, with more inventory and one- to three-bedroom layouts to compare.
Status
2026 handover / active inventory
Location
Han River - Son Tra

Current market guide - verify exact unit

Public listings across the project currently span roughly VND 3.4 billion to VND 19 billion, with studios and one-bedroom units at the bottom of that range and three-bedroom units at the top.

We could not confirm a per-bedroom price band from a source we trust, so this page does not publish one. Prices vary by tower, size, view, floor, payment structure, and whether the listing is primary or resale.

Main strength

More ways to enter the project than in a small boutique building.

Main downside

More inventory also means you need to compare the exact tower, unit, view, handover state and competing resale supply.

Foreign buyers

50-year ownership for foreigners is reported for eligible apartment inventory, with long-term ownership for Vietnamese buyers.

Exact unit quota: Must be checked before deposit.

03

Best branded beachfront option

Nobu Danang

The one we'd inspect if beachfront location and an international hospitality brand matter enough to justify a substantial premium.

Best for
Buyers who will pay more for the beachfront, the brand and hotel services.
Status
Under construction
Location
Vo Van Kiet x Vo Nguyen Giap - My Khe beachfront
Project
264 branded vacation apartments.

Reference prices from 2026 advisory material - not current offers

Studio: roughly VND 5.8-6.1 billion. One advertised 38.1 sq m studio was listed at VND 5.714 billion with VAT and maintenance fund stated as included.

One-bedroom: roughly VND 9-10.5 billion. Two-bedroom: roughly VND 20-20.5 billion.

These figures come from a selling advisory, not from an official price list.

Main strength

The most distinct product of the three: branded hospitality on the My Khe beachfront.

Main downside

You are paying a large brand and location premium, and buying before the finished building can be inspected.

Important legal note

Official project material describes the units as branded vacation apartments, and at least one selling advisory describes buyers acquiring them through a long-term lease agreement rather than through an apartment purchase under the Housing Law. That is a different legal instrument from the other two projects on this page.

Foreign buyers

Before describing any exact Nobu unit as foreign-buyer eligible, verify the transaction structure, remaining term, documents and the eligibility of that specific unit.

Exact unit quota: Must be checked before deposit.

Check exact unit

Before you fall in love with a unit, check these four things.

A project being marketed to foreigners does not mean every apartment in it is available to every foreign buyer today.

  1. 01

    Project

    Is this development legally eligible for foreign ownership?

  2. 02

    Exact unit

    Is this specific apartment still inside the permitted foreign-ownership quota?

  3. 03

    Ownership

    What exactly are you acquiring, for how long, and from what start date?

  4. 04

    Documents

    What contract and ownership or certificate documents will you receive?

Under Vietnam's current Housing Law, eligible foreign individuals and organisations may generally own no more than 30% of the residential apartments in an apartment building.

For an eligible foreign individual, the ownership term may be agreed for up to 50 years from issuance of the ownership certificate, with the possibility of one extension for up to another 50 years under the applicable rules. Project, location and security restrictions also apply.

Do this before the deposit.

The asking price is not the number we'd compare.

For a serious comparison, put every unit on the same sheet.

  • Asking price
  • Developer or seller discount
  • VAT if applicable
  • Maintenance fund if applicable
  • Transfer and registration costs
  • Legal and due-diligence costs
  • Furniture or fit-out
  • Expected holding costs

Not every item applies to every transaction. The sheet puts two offers on the same basis.

Ask for the price in writing.
Ask what is included.
Ask what is not.

Where we'd start with three different buyers

“I want to live in Da Nang this year.”

Start with The Filmore.

You can inspect the building, the apartment and the streets around it.

Then compare one Sun Symphony unit if the price difference is meaningful.

“I want the strongest choice around $150k-$300k.”

Start by checking exact foreign-buyer inventory at Sun Symphony and the resale market.

At this budget, the exact unit matters more than the project brochure.

“I want something distinctive on the beach and budget is secondary.”

Put Nobu on the list.

But compare the legal and ownership structure and the final purchase cost before you put a dollar value on the brand.

Four things we would not do

  1. Pay a deposit because an agent says "foreign quota available" in a message.
  2. Compare one developer's net price with another project's gross or all-in price.
  3. Choose a unit from rental-yield projections without checking current rents, realistic occupancy and the costs.
  4. Buy a view without checking what can still be built in front of it.

A beautiful render is not due diligence.

01 / The Filmore

The Filmore Da Nang

The one we'd inspect first if you want to buy something you can walk through today.

You can time the lift. Stand on the balcony. Hear the street. Walk the neighbourhood at night. See whether the river view is worth the premium.

On the record

  • Bach Dang Street, Binh Thuan ward, Hai Chau.
  • Reported at 206 apartments over 25 floors, which is small by Da Nang standards.
  • Handover is reported as 2024.
  • One-bedroom units reported at about 51 sq m; two-bedroom and larger layouts exist.
  • Current rental listings inside the building can be read and compared.

What we'd inspect in person

  • Noise with the balcony closed
  • Afternoon heat by orientation
  • The actual view, from the actual floor
  • Lift waiting time
  • Exact monthly fees
  • Real current rentals in the building

The catch

You pay a premium for a finished city-centre building. The question is whether this exact unit is worth it over the alternatives.

02 / Sun Symphony

Sun Symphony Residence

The one we'd search hardest when unit selection and entry price matter.

More layouts, floors, views, phases and sellers mean larger differences between two apartments carrying the same project name.

That is good for a buyer who compares carefully. It is bad for a buyer who chooses from one broker's PDF.

On the record

  • Sun Group, on the Tran Hung Dao frontage on the Son Tra side of the Han River.
  • Reported at 1,313 apartments across three high-rise towers, plus low-rise shophouses and riverfront villas.
  • Apartment sizes reported from about 26 sq m to about 112 sq m, excluding penthouses.
  • Handover is reported during 2026, but sources disagree on the quarter. Confirm the date in the contract.

What we'd compare unit by unit

  • Tower
  • Floor
  • River, city or sea exposure
  • Handover status
  • Primary vs resale
  • Management fees
  • Foreign quota
  • Competing units in the same stack

One thing we would inspect on site, in any Da Nang building

Da Nang floods. In late October 2025 the city declared a state of emergency over its transport infrastructure after days of heavy rain, with tens of thousands of households affected.

In any building here, look at basement access, drainage and what happens to the ground floor in a bad October. Ask the residents.

03 / Nobu Danang

Nobu Danang

The one where we'd separate the product from the brand premium.

Beachfront, an international brand and hotel services make Nobu the easiest of the three to want.

The harder question is financial: what is the exact unit worth to you after the brand premium is stripped out?

On the record

  • A reported 43-floor tower that also holds 200-plus hotel rooms and suites, a wellness floor, a rooftop bar and a Nobu restaurant.
  • Construction is ongoing as of September 2026. Handover has been reported as expected around early 2027 and must be reverified against the contract.
  • Unit sizes are reported from about 38 sq m to about 378 sq m.
  • A developer rental programme is offered. Read the contract terms, not the headline percentage.

What we'd verify before reserving

  • Exact contract type
  • Ownership term and start date
  • Foreign eligibility of the exact unit
  • Management and hospitality fees
  • Rental-programme conditions if offered
  • Owner-use restrictions if any
  • Resale restrictions if any

The catch

The brand makes the unit easier to want. It does not replace the checks above.

One question before buying: would renting solve the same problem?

A few months of renting will tell you more about the neighbourhood, the traffic, the rain, the noise, the building management and beach against river than another week of property research.

If your main reason for buying disappears after reading that, the page did its job.

Free buyer brief

Want the three units worth seeing?

Tell us what you are looking for. We'll narrow the current market to three relevant units.

For each shortlisted unit, we want to check:

  • asking price
  • foreign-buyer eligibility
  • ownership term
  • project and unit status
  • estimated all-in cost where available
  • the main trade-off

This request is free.

1 of 5 What's your maximum budget?

A ceiling keeps us from sending units you would never buy.

How we shortlist

Why these three?

This page does not rank every development in Da Nang. It picks three starting points that differ enough to show how the market works.

For this shortlist we care about

  • foreign-buyer relevance
  • project status
  • prices we could verify
  • a building or unit you can inspect
  • a clear transaction

We do not rank a project higher because it pays more commission.
