A consortium led by Samsung C&T Corp., the construction and trading arm of South Korea’s Samsung Group, has been selected as a preferred bidder for a $750 million project to build a large hospital in Turkey, a Samsung official said Wednesday.
The order placed by Turkey’s government calls for the construction of a 540,000-square-meter hospital in the southeastern Turkish city of Gaziantep, according to the official.
The South Korean builder is expected to win a portion worth $180 million out of the $750 million, the official said.
Turkey plans to announce whether the consortium will clinch a formal deal in the second half of next year. (Yonhap News)
