It also said its Vietnamese subsidiary, Becamex Tokyu Co., Ltd. will invest in the shopping centre, which will be replete with restaurants and other facilities, in addition to an AEON outlet.

Becamex Tokyu has been involved in urban development in the new city, where it has already opened two commercial facilities.

In addition, the government of Binh Duong province has relocated its municipality to the newly-built Administration Center in the heart of Binh Duong New City which includes offices for the Provincial Party Committee, People’s Committee, and People’s Council in Binh Duong province.
