This decision comes after a government inspection found in April 2023 numerous violations in the project which included two large buildings.
One building covering over 17,000 square metres was only licensed for the construction of the basement but the investor was already working on the fourth floor.
The other building was licensed for an area of 6,120 square metres. However, during the construction process, the investor exceeded the permitted construction area by more than 3,000 square metres.
The investor, DL Royal JSC, was requested to cease construction but they had continued the project.
The construction project sparked public outcry as it obstructs the view from the Xuan Huong Lake to Langbiang Mountain, negatively impacting the natural beauty of the city.
Together with paying the fines, DL Royal JSC was also requested to remove all illegal works within 90 days from January 11.
Stretching over 62 hectares next to Xuan Huong Lake, Cu Hill hosted a golf course built by the French in 1920.
