The introduction of three new Vincom Mega Mall shopping centres in Vinhomes urban areas is considered to be the most impressive part because the information was published for the first time.

The philosophy of the new shopping centres is to emphasise convenience in combination with experience factors to create diversity and delight for all customers. It is the convenience of large-scale intelligent parking on the ground just outside the shopping centres or natural elements combined with lighting effects inside the shopping centre to create an environmentally-friendly space.

The new Vincom Mega Malls will also enhance the application of modern technology in the directions or the fastest update support information to meet the needs of entertainment.

Besides, the proportion of food sector and entertainment at the three great new shopping malls will be upgraded, along with the appearance of particularly impressive areas such as the slide across floors inside the shopping centre.

Trần Thu Hiền, Deputy General Director of Sales and Marketing of Vincom Retail speaks about the success factors of three new shopping centres.

With the advantages of being located in the new and most modern Vinhomes urban areas, they promise to welcome a huge number of regular customers. These three Vincom Mega Mall shopping centres simultaneously inherit the entire space and unique utilities designed in urban areas.

In Hà Nội, customers coming to Vincom Mega Mall Ocean Park (Gia Lâm) can immerse themselves in the wonderful resort space of the ocean city, while Vincom Mega Mall Smart City (South Từ Liêm) can experience the vibrant and modern technology life of the largest smart city model in Việt Nam.

The new Vincom Mega Mall projects are expected to change the face of the city and contribute to the region's superior quality of life.

Located in Vinhomes Grand Park urban area, which will become the "Smart City” of HCM city, Vincom Mega Mall Grand Park will not only offer the ecological life of the "great park in the heart of the city", but also give customers real relaxation thanks to the landscape and the smart synchronised urban platform.

Impressed with the Vincom Mega Mall projects, Nguyễn Thị Yến Vi, Manager Development Department, Mesa Company – a partner of Vincom from the first shopping centre in the South – said “Vincom Retail has a lot of experience in the field of real estate for sale. With this project, Vincom has done a lot of research on the market, so it will definitely bring the best experience to customers. The cooperation with Vincom has brought benefits to both sides and with these three projects alone, it is opening up great investment opportunities for businesses as well as new brands in the Hà Nội market such as Texas Chicken, MK Restaurants.”
