“We’ve almost completed site clearance to make room for the project. We are calculating the final cost of the project, ” Vu said yesterday on the occasion of the celebration of the hotel’s 85th anniversary. Saigontourist initiated a plan to turn the Majestic into the hotel and office complex some years ago. The development is however later than expected due to slow site clearance.
