Shukaku pushes forward at Boeung Kak
Local developer Shukaku will step up construction of its controversial Boeung Kak lake development project this month, beginning work on a drainage system and corporate office, a spokeswoman told the Post yesterday. ... An updated master plan of Shukaku’s Phnom Penh City Centre project – an “eco-city” set to include hotels, housing, a business centre and more – was approved by City Hall this year, said Amu Pillay, the company’s head of corporate communications and public relations. ... While a completion date has not been set for the entire project, a roads and utilities plan has also gained approval from City Hall, while a design for a “central park” will be drafted this month with a view toward building it next year, Pillay said. ... City Hall spokesman Long Dimanche said his authorities would work with Shukaku to connect the development to the public system, though studies were still being carried out to determine City Hall’s exact role in that process. ...
