The complex will include a CP Lotus hypermarket store, apartments, a hotel and office buildings. The project will require an investment of up to US$2bn.
The company is also planning to develop similar projects in three cities – Guangzhou, Shandong and Shanghai. Each complex will include a CP Lotus hypermarket stores, Soopakij said.
“From our experience, we’ve found that instead of building only a shopping mall, each project should be built as an ‘integrated vertical community’ that includes condominium, hotel, and office buildings,” he added.
The projects will be developed in phases and the investments will be funded by business partners, equity funds and bank loans.
