Director of Myanmar Thilawa SEZ Holdings (MTSH) Nyan Thit Hlaing said a joint venture system will be in place for the construction of the condo complexes. The 80-acre residential zone inside the SEZ will also include hotels, housing for workers, shopping centres and buildings for banking businesses. Some 68 companies from 17 countries have plans to invest at the site, Nyan Thit Hlaing says. Once Thilawa Zone A is completed, SEZ officials expect it to create jobs for 20,000 to 40,000 workers, from Myanmar and abroad. Once the Lagunpyin water distribution project is finished, it will supply the whole SEZ, leaving the two current supply dams as spares.
