Three companies, LH, Alfa and Agroman pre-qualified from six that had shown an interest in participating in the tender to build the Panamerican Olympic Village that is slated to go up across from the Banco Popular headquarters and diagonally across from the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center at John F. Kennedy and San Martín avenues, according to a report in Hoy newspaper. The Pan American Village is designed to have eight towers of 23 floors each, for a total of 700 apartments that would lodge 5,000 athletes and coaches coming for the Santo Domingo Pan Am games in 2003. The towers are estimated to cost RD$700 to RD$1,000 million. They would go up on state-owned lands.
