Yoma Central December 2020 Newsletter

Dear Friends, Investors and Partners,

This month has been an optimistic one for the Yoma Central team. We have scored one Asia-Pacific wide and three local awards, you can read more about them in the newsletter. Awards are not everything, but they do generate international notice. This is particularly important now for attracting international retail brands and businesses. While this challenging year is coming to an end, we are keeping Yangon relevant and in focus.

I would like to take an opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season. Enjoy a Christmas full of joy, laughter and happiness and may the New Year bless you with good health, wealth, and success. Stay safe Yangon!

Stephen Purvis
Head of Yoma Land


Updates from the construction site

We’ve made astounding progress on the Yoma Central construction site since re-opening in late September. Even under strict safety measures we are maintaining steady productivity, The Peninsula Residences Yangon tower (Tower 1) has been growing at a rate of 4 floor slabs a month and will soon reach the 21st floor. Runner up is Westin Yangon (Tower 2) with 7 floor slabs completed just over 2 months, which represent an average of 3.5 floor slabs per month.
