Meinhardt's Vietnam team has been involved with ACDL for two years, and has also worked on over 200 projects within Vietnam, including such high profile resort and leisure developments as the Westin Cam Ranh and the Laguna Hue.

The company has also been extensively involved in engineering, project and construction management for sites including Ho Chi Minh City's Kumho Asiana Plaza, An Dong Plaza and the Everrich Residential and Commercial development.

“Being appointed to work on the MGM Grand Ho Tram project is an iconic win for Meinhardt as it brings together our diverse expertise and project experience from our Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and Vietnam offices,” said Dat Chau, general director of Meinhardt Vietnam.

The MGM Grand Ho Tram, scheduled for opening in the first quarter of 2013, will include a five star hotel, initially with 541 rooms and expanding to 1,100, a 13,600 square meter entertainment area, retail, restaurants, bars, lounges, shows, conference and meeting areas, a golf course, and other leisure amenities, representing the first Las Vegas-style integrated resort development in Vietnam.  In its entirety, the Ho Tram Strip represents a $4.2 billion undertaking that covers 164 hectares of a prime beach-front location in Ba Ria Vung Tau.
