LANDMARK Construction will next month begin building 30 two-storey houses in the outlying Yan-gon township of Hlaing Tharyar, according to a Landmark director.

“We plan to begin building about thirty duplexes [dual-floor houses] in early October along Kyan Sitt Thar road in Haing Tharyar township. Each will have a floor space of 800 square feet and be on a 2400-square-foot compound. The estimated selling price for each is K15 million, which includes water and electricity connections,” said Landmark Construction director U Zarni Myo Win. The construction period is expected to be six months.

“For K15 million buyers would only be able to get a small apartment in the downtown area but we will be selling two-storey duplexes for this price. We’re aiming to sell to people who want to settle in Hlaing Tharyar and have a business in the industrial zone.”

This will be the fourth construc-tion project the company had und-ertaken Hlaing Tharyar. Previous Landmark Construction projects in the township include the Diamond and Emerald cottages and Nawarat shophouses. He said the company plans to offer a promotional price after construction is completed but the discount percentage is yet to be finalised.
