VinaLiving breaks ground on shopping center at Salacia Villas project

On the morning of April 5, VinaLiving held a ground-breaking ceremony for the shopping center within the Salacia Villas project, attended by local government leaders, consulting and construction partners, and a wide audience of customers.

The shopping center is a key utility component that completes the commercial-service-entertainment ecosystem at Salacia Villas and is expected to be the first shopping center in Tan Thanh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. The project is planned to commence operation in Q1 2028, targeting a new destination for commerce, services, and entertainment for the surrounding area.

A modern destination for leisure, entertainment and services

Under the master plan, the shopping center is located within the Salacia Villas commercial-service-entertainment complex at the project’s gateway. The building covers more than 1,400 m2, spans five floors, and is designed to integrate retail and shopping, food and beverage (F&B), and experiential spaces including a gym, yoga, and co-working areas.

The architecture uses an open design language to connect indoor spaces with the surrounding landscape, while optimizing natural light and airiness. The floor plan is described as flexible to support different business models and evolving consumer trends.

The shopping center’s development and operations are advised by Bac Bình, a unit with experience implementing large shopping centers including Vạn Hạnh Mall, Hung Vương Plaza, Central Premium, and Metrolink An Phú.

Local government and investor remarks

At the event, Mr. Nguyễn Ngọc Ân, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Tan Thành Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, said that Tan Thành Ward prioritizes attracting quality projects that develop in a synchronized and sustainable manner. He noted that the shopping center at Salacia Villas reflects collaboration between business entities and local government, contributing to improved commercial-service infrastructure and residents’ quality of life.

For the investor VinaLiving, Mr. Lê Thanh Thành Công, Marketing - Business Director for Salacia Villas, said Salacia Villas is developed to modern standards and that the shopping center is a crucial component meeting shopping, leisure, and entertainment needs for residents and the wider community. He added that, with investment and participation from reputable partners, the shopping center is expected to become a standout landmark and help elevate local living standards and commercial services.

Resort-style living at the new growth axis

In recent years, the eastern area of Ho Chi Minh City has seen strong inflows of highly skilled professionals to industrial parks and logistics hubs. The completion of infrastructure is contributing to the emergence of new centers linked to ports and airports, which in turn is increasing demand for higher-quality housing.

The article states that housing supply in the area still has gaps, particularly for products designed with comprehensive amenities that meet the living standards of high-income clients and international professionals. It also notes that existing supply is often fragmented or lacks an integrated service ecosystem.

In this context, Salacia Villas is presented as a strategic solution. The project spans 7.2 hectares, with 35% built-up density and a total of 333 units, including Town Villa (land area 85 m2), Deluxe Villa (land area 110–112 m2), Garden Villa (land area 125.92–195.74 m2), and Grand Villa (land area 309.08–419.99 m2). The development targets buyers seeking space and privacy.

Salacia Villas is planned as a resort-style project integrating on-site amenities and multi-story green spaces, with professional operating standards. Facilities already in operation include pickleball courts, basketball courts, and a swimming pool. The shopping center is positioned as the next essential utility component to complete the profile of a high-end, comfortable, and modern residential area.

Location and connectivity

Located on Trần Phú Axis in Tan Thành Ward, Salacia Villas benefits from an expanding infrastructure network. The project is described as being 5–15 minutes from major expressways including Biên Hòa – Vũng Tàu, Bến Lức – Long Thành, and Long Thành – Hồ Tràm, providing access to Cai Mệp – Thị Vải Port, Long Thành International Airport, industrial zones, and central Ho Chi Minh City.
