Japanese shopping mall developer AEON MALL, the investor of AEON MALL Haiphong in collaboration with the Haiphong People’s Committee, has accelerated completing the procedures in early 2018 so that the construction can be started in the second quarter.

At the working session with leaders of the Haiphong People’s Committee, Iwamura Yasutsugu, general director of AEON MALL Vietnam, affirmed that the company signed a contract in principle with Viet Phat Import-Export Trading JSC to develop the project which is expected to create about 2,000 new jobs for locals.

Yasutsugu urged the Haiphong People’s Committee to accelerate the site clearance so that the construction can be implemented on schedule.

The city will complete the site clearance this month, simultaneously completing the approval of procedures in January 2018. In addition, the city is accelerating the construction of transport infrastructure, including the Ho Sen-Cau Rao 2 Route in 2019, before Aeon Mall Haiphong comes into operation.

Earlier in September, AEON MALL Vietnam signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Haiphong Investment-Trade-Tourism Promotion Centre to develop the project.

Under the agreement, AEON MALL Vietnam will invest, build, manage, and develop an integrated shopping mall and provide related services, including catering, amusement parks for children, as well as rental space, counters, and shelves, all constructed, installed, and decorated.

The $180-million (approximately VND4 trillion) facility covers an area of 9.3 hectares at the Ho Sen-Cau Rao 2 Route and will be the company’s third shopping mall in the north and the sixth one in Vietnam.

Scheduled to come into operation in 2020, the Haiphong mall is expected to attract over 13 million visitors every year from Haiphong and the surrounding provinces, such as Quang Ninh, Hai Duong, Thai Binh, and others. The mall will not only be a place to improve shopping convenience for customers, but also a multi-purpose complex and a place for cultural and social activities for all ages, with many integrated entertainment and educational facilities.
