Work on a US$930 million financial center is expected to start next month in Ho Chi Minh City, two years after it was licensed by local authorities, according to the project’s developer.
Nguyen Hoai Nam, general director of Berjaya Vietnam, a subsidiary of Malaysia’s Berjaya Land Berhad, told Tuoi Tre on Friday the construction of the Vietnam Financial Centre would kick start after the Lunar New Year which falls on mid-February.
The group is also backing major real estate projects in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, including a $500 million residential and commercial project in Hanoi and a $3.5 billion international university township.
