Hsin Chong Construction Group has been appointed as Construction Manager for the Thai Boon Roong Twin Tower World Trade Center Project in Cambodia.
Being developed by Sun Kian Ip Group and Thai Boon Roong Group, located on the bank of the Mekong River in the capital city Phnom Penh, the Twin Tower will reach 500 metres (133-storeys) when completed, making it Cambodia’s and Southeast Asia’s tallest building, as well as one of the world’s tallest buildings.
Ir Paul Lee, Managing Director of Hsin Chong Construction and Augustine Tang, Director of HCC, signed the contract in Phnom Penh recently.
“We are honoured to be chosen to deliver this landmark project for Cambodia, which has been earmarked as an important commercial and residential facility. We will be applying the strengths and experience we have in constructing large-scale integrated projects in Hong Kong and Macau to provide the best solutions and a high-quality product for our client,” said Ir Lee.
As Construction Manager for the project, Hsin Chong will be responsible for coordination and supervision of works contractors, programme control, commercial advice, monitoring safety and quality control, managing site logistics, as well as coordinating with consultants and the local authorities.
The project includes four residential buildings of 59 to 65 storeys, an 11-storey podium structure with three levels of basement, and another three levels of basement under the existing Hun Sen Plaza in front of the Twin Towers. The Thai Boon Roong Twin Tower World Trade Center Project will accommodate facilities such as hotel, service apartments, offices, shopping mall, an exhibition hall, stock exchange trading hall, cinema, restaurants and basement carpark. The planned land area is more than 86,000 sqm and the gross building area is around 1.615 million sqm.
Work is reported to have started on the US$ 3 billion project and completion will be in five years.
