On October 13, the People's Committee of Da Lat City (Lam Dong) said that it had issued a document directing the authorities, the People's Committee of Ward 10, to request Khai Vy Joint Stock Company to strictly comply with the suspension of construction of Merperle Dalat Hotel, at No. 1, Hung Vuong Street, Da Lat City.
This is considered the largest hotel construction project in Lam Dong province to date, with more than 400 rooms, 5-star international standards.
Specifically, in document 6861/UBND-QH dated October 11, 2023, the People's Committee of Da Lat City determined that, through inspection, the Department of Urban Management of Da Lat City and the People's Committee of Ward 10 discovered that the investor of the Merperle Dalat Hotel project violated construction order, allowing the construction of the largest building in Da Lat City with a design that was not in accordance with the granted license.
At basement 1, the investor built 7,092m2, exceeding 1,315m2 of floor space compared to the licensed construction permit of 5,777 m2; similarly, basement 2 built 1,286m2 more floor space; floor 1 built 955m2 more and is constructing 900m2 of roof floor formwork which is not included in the content of the permit granted in 2021. The total floor area that the investor violated at the Merperle Dalat Hotel project is more than 4,450m2.
The violation of Khai Vy Joint Stock Company was recorded by the People's Committee of Ward 10 on October 10, 2023 to complete the dossier and handle the violation according to the provisions of law.
In document 6861, Da Lat City People's Committee requested Khai Vy Joint Stock Company to strictly comply with the suspension of construction and comply with measures to handle violations; urgently contact the competent authorities to prepare a dossier to adjust the construction permit. In case the adjustment permit is not granted, the investor is forced to dismantle the violating items.
Da Lat City People's Committee has also assigned Ward 10 People's Committee to supervise the implementation of construction suspension, not allowing investors to construct works or construction items without permission from competent authorities.
However, on the morning of October 13, at the temporarily suspended hotel construction site, many workers were still working normally, and construction and items were still being built and completed.
Previously, on September 22, 2023, Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee issued Document No. 8303/UBND-QH, reviewing Document No. 41/CV-KVG/2023 dated August 18, 2023 of Khai Vy Joint Stock Company regarding the request to adjust the design of the project at Merperle Dalat Hotel.
