The Yeiktha comprises nine 12-storey buildings and two eight-storey buildings with 900 apartments.

High living standard
This is why faculty members and educational staff will have chances to enjoy high living standard in residing at Mindhamma Pyinnya Yeiktha. Neat and tidy streets, highrise buildings, shopping centre and transport facilities will create a good social environment for the educational staff.
