NagaCorp to Construct New Election Committee Building
Phnom Penh’s only licensed casino, NagaWorld, has agreed to build a brand-new 15-story tower for the National Election Committee (NEC) as part of its plans to invest $369 million in expanding its current operations over the next three years, an official at the casino said yesterday. NagaCorp has successfully negotiated to double the size of its 92,000 square meter casino on land that belongs to the NEC by footing the $17 million the committee needs for a new headquarters, said Jared Tan, assistant manager of corporate finance at NagaCorp. The land is located across the road from its current location in Daun Penh district. … In addition to the NEC tower, NagaCorp will also spend $10 million on a tree-lined public park that will run alongside the Bassac River, Mr. Tan said. …
