AEON CO. (M) BHD. (AEON) is set to transform the retail landscape in Negeri Sembilan with the groundbreaking of a new 4-storey extension to AEON Mall Seremban 2. The expansion is part of AEON’s commitment to meet the lifestyle and economic needs of Seremban’s rapidly growing population.
The ceremony was officiated by YAB Dato’ Seri Aminuddin Harun, Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, alongside Datuk Iskandar Sarudin, Chairman of AEON CO. (M) BHD and Naoya Okada, Managing Director of AEON.
The new extension will complement the existing AEON Mall Seremban 2, which has served the local community since 2005. The new building will feature four floors, including two levels of car park. It will be developed on a 23.04 acre site located just opposite the current mall. Both buildings will be connected via an overhead pedestrian bridge, ensuring seamless access for shoppers.
With a combined total Net Lettable Area (NLA) of over 700,000 square feet, the AEON Mall Seremban 2 will become the largest mall in Seremban. The expansion of new building is targeted for completion in 2027, while the existing mall will continue to operate as usual.
Naoya Okada said, “We are pleased to announce the expansion of our presence in Seremban, a city that continues to show strong growth and potential. This project is more than just a physical extension. It is our way of giving back to the community by creating better spaces to shop, connect, and spend meaningful time with family. It is designed to offer more choices and greater convenience to customers, while supporting local economic growth. We are confident that this development will contribute to local economic activity, generate job opportunities, and attract a broader mix of brands, dining options, entertainment, and community-oriented facilities.”
This development is part of AEON’s broader strategy in modernising its malls and services. Last year, AEON continued to strengthen its retail footprint with the opening of its 35th store in Setia Alam, alongside the opening of AEON Wellness and DAISO at Bloomsvale Shopping Gallery in Kuala Lumpur.
AEON MaxValu Desa ParkCity and AEON Bandar Puchong have also been upgraded to enhance customer experience and store offerings. This year, AEON Mall Ipoh Station 18 was reopened with a refreshed look, reflecting AEON’s ongoing commitment to revitalising its spaces. Plans are also currently underway to rejuvenate several key malls, including AEON Mall Shah Alam, AEON Mall Bukit Indah, AEON Mall Bandaraya Melaka and AEON Mall Kinta City.
