A Chinese and local developer are in discussions with Phnom Penh’s City Hall to build a $3 billion, 500-metre-high twin tower project in the center of the city, making it the tallest building in the capital.

The project will be a joint venture between Cambodian-owned Thai Bun Rong Company and Chinese developer Kia Nip Group, and will include commercial office space and a cultural centre.

Long Dimanche, City Hall’s spokesperson, confirmed the 111-storey twin tower project was proposed, but that the developers were asked to provide a detailed impact assessment report.

What some people will do to get into the Guinness book of records. There must a listing there for the World's stupidest ideas. The people with money now want to leave their huge footprint behind. Put a big gold plaque on the front. Maybe he/they would like to buy some slightly used submarines. It amazes me how the rich can pee away money on prestige items and yet overlook the abject poverty that surrounds them. INCREDIBLE!!

Unbelievable. Someone has been speaking to the wizard of Oz or maybe thought this was the 30th century.
