New VND800-billion youth cultural house to go up in city

Van Nam

The new building at the corner of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Pham Ngoc Thach and Nguyen Van Chiem streets in District 1 will provide more room for learning and entertainment activities of youths in the city.

The city’s State budget will fund the building whose main entrance is at 4 Pham Ngoc Thach Street. The government of HCMC has told the departments of planning-investment and finance to arrange the funding for the project.

Relevant agencies have been urged to work with the consultant over improving the design of the building in line with the zoning plan for this area and with convenient access to the stations of forthcoming metro lines in the city.

Last year, the city government approved in principle an architectural and zoning plan for the building in a view to expanding Nguyen Van Chiem Street while the width of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street will be kept unchanged, according to the Planning Information Center under the HCMC Department of Zoning and Architecture.

The Department of Planning and Architecture was assigned to work with relevant agencies and consulting agency CPG Singapore to draw the new building and make it harmonize with the surrounding greenery and structures.

The city government told the department to propose a feasible scheme to attract investors to the new building to ensure the economic efficiency of this project and speed up its construction.
