Japanese retailer and mall operator Aeon has introduced plans for a fourth mall in Vietnam.

After the success of its first centre, Celadon Metropolis in suburban Ho Chi Minh Metropolis opened in January 2014, Aeon opened one other within the industrial hub of Binh Duong final November. A 3rd mall is underneath development in Lengthy Bien, within the capital metropolis, Hanoi.

Now Aeon Vietnam says it is going to construct a fourth purchasing centre in Binh Tan, roughly 10km southwest of central Ho Chi Minh (about 40 minutes by automotive) inside the Worldwide Hello-Tech Healthcare Park being developed by Hoa Lam-Shangri-La. It’s scheduled to open in summer time.

Aeon says the park gives medical, residential, instructional and business amenities and is predicted to proceed rising. The district’s transportation setting can also be well-developed, with quick access to an outer ring street and an East-West Freeway which may permit it to attract clients from a large space.

The mall may have about 59,000 sqm of gross leasable flooring area and parking for about 1500 automobiles and 4000 bikes. It is going to be anchored by an Aeon hypermarket, with 160 specialty retailer tenancies.

Underneath the Aeon Group Medium-term Administration Plan (FY2014-2016), the corporate is pursuing a shift to Asian markets as a standard group technique. Aeon opened its first malls in Cambodia in 2014 and Indonesia in 2015.

Within the meantime, Aeon established a consultant in Vietnam in February 2015 to speed up enterprise improvement by unifying the group initiatives.
