Twin Towers Delayed Again

Construction on the Thai Boon Roong Twin Trade Center has been delayed again as technical plans are finalised for the building.

Set to be the tallest building in Southeast Asia when completed, ground-breaking on the project has now been delayed twice; from September 2016, to July 2017 and now to an as yet unannounced 2018.

While assurances remain on the capital backing for the 4.97 hectare, USD5 billion, 133-storey twin tower project, doubts continue to linger over its commercial and technical feasibility.
