The construction will be divided into two phases. In phase 1, a shopping centre with a floor area of nearly 114,000 sq.m will be built. Phase 2 will see the construction of a second shopping centre and a parking building, with a total area of 81,100 sq.m.

Phase 1 is expected to become operational within 36 months. Phase 2 will be carried out within 10 years after the completion of Phase 1, depending on the local and regional economic situation.

With its impressive scale and modern design, Aeon Mall Can Tho is expected to become a new landmark in the region’s commercial landscape. Beyond serving as a retail and entertainment hub, the project aims to bridge Vietnamese agricultural products, especially specialties from the Mekong Delta, to both domestic and international consumers. It is also expected to create new job opportunities and contribute significantly to the enhancement of the local workforce and living standards./.
