Nhan Dan Online - Vietcombank and Dong A Bank has pledged to provide loans worth totalling US$133.5 million for construction of the US$226 million Saigon M&C Tower project in Ho Chi Minh City.

Of the figure, Vietcombank provides US$110 million.

The project covers nearly 6,672 square metres on the Bank of Saigon river in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. It consists of two 40-story towers, one for offices and one for apartments, and five-level basement. Eight stories at the foot of the towers will be used as a shopping centre.

Construction of the project was kicked off in August 2007 and is scheduled to be completed in mid-2011. Latest technologies will be applied during the construction as well as the management of the project.
