The new phase of the Star City project covers the design and construction of six residential buildings including a total of 956 apartments. Four of the buildings will be 82m tall (25 storeys) and the other two will be 91m (28 storeys). The contract also includes the construction of a two-storey car park along with a local community building and the development of green spaces, a swimming-pool and a leisure activity area.
Ludwig Reichhold, executive vice president for Southern Asia at Bouygues B芒timent International, said: 鈥淔ollowing on from an initial contract awarded in 2013, this latest success will reinforce our long-term commitment to Myanmar, which includes an initiative to provide training for local employees.鈥�
The works will involve 2,100 people at peak periods and scheduled to last approximately three years.
The first phase of the Star City project - consisting of five residential buildings which have already been built by Dragages Singapore and SPA Project Management for Thanlyin Estate Development - is currently at the completion stage. It saw the introduction in Myanmar of new techniques and equipment, such as the use of prefabricated elements and steel formwork systems.
