Gold Tower 42 Mystery

Yon Woo Cambodia Co. Ltd.'s Gold Tower 42 has become an intriguing mystery in the history of construction in the Kingdom. Beginning in 2008 and abruptly halting in 2009 due to the financial crisis, the project has experienced a series of delays and uncertainties over the past decade. The company has held meetings with the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC) to address the suspicious construction start dates.

Although the developer appeared to have resumed work on the tower in early 2019, with completion expected by early 2020 according to the contractor, as of mid-year 2023, the project remains incomplete. Ideally located at the bustling intersection of Monivong and Sihanouk boulevards in Phnom Penh, Gold Tower 42 holds a significant presence in the capital city.
