Cambodia: Phnom Penh Mega mall ready by 2022

The construction of the Chip Mong 271 Mega Mall is 20 percent complete after it broke ground in August 2018 and be ready to serve customers by 2022, according to the senior executive of the Chip Mong Retail.

It’s planned to be 150,000 square meters, five floors, with car parking space for 2,000 cars and 500 motorbikes, altogether costing more than $130 million in construction on land worth $30 million, in the heart of Phnom Penh, said Chip Mong Retail’s Acting President Stephane Pierron.

He added that Chip Mong 271 Mega Mall is located on 43 hectares of land within the Chip Mong Land development area of Landmark 271. It is the leading property developer in Cambodia.

“We are going to offer a mixture of different lifestyle brands and services and a wide variety of dining and entertainment experiences,” Pierron said.

Speaking at the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the mechanical, electrical, and fire system (MEF) between contractor DBD Engineering, and Chip Mong 271 Mega Mall, Leang Khun, chairman of Chip Mong Group, said that in the past week Chip Mong had signed up leading safety experts Comin Khmere on for Chip Mong Tower.

“These signing ceremonies reflect the unstoppable progress of all of Chip Mong’s development projects and the goal is to speed up the modernisation of the retail sector as well as the property development sector,” Khun said.

“The construction of Chip Mong 271 Mega Mall will allow us to pro-actively drive the transformation of Phnom Penh’s southern landscape into a modern commercial zone in line with the government’s strategy to increase green city and commercial centres,” he added.

Victor Vithy Neang, managing director of DBD Engineering Co Ltd, said that the signing of the MoU with Chip Mong demonstrates the proper implementation of the construction project.
