Myanmar allows 40% foreign ownership in condominiums

Myanmar allows 40% foreign ownership in condominiums

Yangon - Myanmar's Union Parliament approved Friday the draft Condominium Law to allow 40-per-cent foreign ownership.

Under the law, foreigners can buy up to 40 per cent of condominium units. 
The law also specifies the character of a condominium building: it must have at least six floors on plots larger than 20,000 square feet.
The Ministry of Construction shall designate the number of floors, apartments, parking lots, the materials to be used and technical, security and safety measures of the buildings. 
Khaing Muang Yi, a Lower House MP from Ahlone, said: “Condominium owners shall have the shared ownership of both the land and buildings. Those who buy the units will own a proportion of the land and apartment. The owners still have ownership of the land even when the building collapses and they can use the units as loan collateral."
