\nThe construction of ASEAN\u2019s loftiest structures in Phnom Penh inched forward this week with the announcement of new contractors.
\nThe USD2.7 billion contract to erect the 133-storey, 500-metre-high twin towers was awarded to Sino Great Wall International, a Chinese consortium that includes Sino Great Wall International and Wuchang Shipbuild\u00ading Industry.
\nThe announcement is the latest development in the long-gestating riverfront project, most recently tacked to begin construction by the end of last year.
\nSources reported to The Phnom Penh Post\u00a0in December that the development \u2013 which will include a shopping mall, office space, apartments, luxury hotels and restaurants \u2013 will begin construction this year.
\n\u201cIf there aren\u2019t any [more]obstacles, the construction of the twin skyscrapers will start in the middle of next year, because we already have all the steel and technical structures in place,\u201d architect Tous Sapheoun, deputy secretary general of Board of Architects Cambodia (BAC), told the Post.

\nIn any case, construction could take five years or 60 months, the consortium revealed in a filing to the Chinese stock exchange in Shenzhen. Foundation works are still under review by the Ministry of Land Management, which recommended the project to distance itself 2.5 metres away from nearby casino Nagaworld.
\n\u201cWe have to be careful, especially with its depth,\u201d Phnom Penh municipal governor Pa Socheatvong said.
\nDeveloped by the Thai Boon Roong Group, the building complex will take over a 4.97-hectare land parcel formerly occupied by the Dreamland amusement park.
