Golden City is a mixed-use complex located in the Yankin section of Yangon. Its master plan includes nine 33-story residential towers, a hotel, a business center and a shopping mall.[4] As of 2020, the first two phases of the master plan—seven residential towers and a business center, have been completed.[1] [2] Work on phase 3, which includes a hotel, shopping mall and cinemas, and a residential tower, had not begun as of March 2020.
