After several delays, Saigon Paragon (a collobration between the prestigious Khai Silk Corp and Thuy Loc Corp) has finally open its doors a couple of months ago, promising luxurious brand names and upper class eateries - a totally whole new swanky shopping experience.
Stratigically located near the trendy Phu My Hung residences in District 7 & standing next to the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Center, its target market seems to be the middle & upper class residents (especially the expats) within the area and visitors to the exhibitions/conventions next door.
I was there one Sat afternoon and it was almost ghastly empty with less than 40 patrons in the building - not a good sign, just after 3 months into its opening.
Having gone to different 'Paragons' in HCMC, Bangkok and Singapore, they are vastly different with only one distinct similarity - plush & posh.
Can Saigon Paragon sustain? Only time will tell.
