The project was designed by David Mugamba of Proplan Architects and will be supervised by Barker, Barton and Lawson, both local firms.
The board chairman, Bart Katureebe and the managing director, William Pike, performed the ground-breaking ceremony with a pick axe and shovel at the company premises.
“This is a big innovation by The New Vision. It shows that the company is growing as a paper and that the construction industry is also growing. It is one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy,†Pike said. The top floor will accommodate The New Vision and Bukedde journalists.
