ADDIS ABABA – Mesob Tower Ethiopia said the construction of a landmark project, a 70 story building, will start in the coming four months.
Tsegaye Teklu, General Manager (Founder) of Mesob Tower Ethiopia told The Ethiopian Herald that in its quest to give a new brand to the country, his organization has come up with the initiative to build Mesob Tower which signifies the country’s indigenous art and harmonious coexistence.
The construction site is located at Genet Hotel, near Mexico Square.
The Tower will also have luxurious rooms representing the Nations, Nationalities and the People of Ethiopia.
The plan is to attract a large number of young tourists from every corner of the world and prolong their stay.
“We are working with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism with the principle of Public Private Partnership (PPP),” he said
According to him, international engineers have assured that Mesob Tower can structurally be erected based on studies regarding the evaluations, structure, space, and wind engineering.
He further said a foreign joint venture agreement secures 49 percent of finance. The rest will be covered by domestic sources.
As to him, an agreement was reached for DAR, a company that oversaw the Sky Light Hotel, to be the consultant of the project. Besides, Mesob Tower Ethiopia has also built a landmark building in Harar that reflects the culture of the communities in the area.
Mesob has also planned to construct similar buildings, for instance, Oda Tower in Oromia State, Agelgil Tower in Amhara and Shafeta in SNNP.
