A shopping-service mixed development is expected to come up on the Nha Trang airbase that stretches to approximately 186 hectares, reported Thanhnien News.
Around 10 hectares on the beachfront of the property has been assigned for public facilities such as a park, a museum, and an exhibition centre.
Though the authorities have not yet disclosed details about the potential investors, local media reported that four companies expressed interest in the deal.
Built by the French in 1949, the airbase was previously the centre for the US Air Force military training before being selected as the air instruction centre for the Vietnamese Air Force (VNAF).
