Ben Thanh Plaza Phase III, a new 15,800 sq. ft. structure along with a central outdoor plaza for food trucks and events, will break ground by the end of July 2025 and is scheduled for delivery in January/February 2026. The improvements will include creating an International night market, installing EV charging stations, remodeling public restrooms, painting the building, overlay the parking lot, and upgrading landscaping and lighting to transform Ben Thanh Plaza into a new tourist destination. Location Description: Situated on a 13-acre site at 1818 E. Pioneer Pkwy, just off East Pioneer Parkway in East Arlington, Ben Thanh Plaza spans approximately 175,000 sq. ft. across a vibrant strip center, home to around 50 shops and more than 18 food vendors and 5 more vendors coming soon. The plaza includes the largest 55,000 sq. ft. Asian supermarket offering fresh produce, meats, seafood, and specialty ingredients; as well as a bustling food court serving authentic Vietnamese dishes and other international cuisines. Ben Thanh Plaza plays a central role in Arlington's growing International Corridor - a pedestrian-friendly, culturally rich strech of East Pioneer Parkway. With its diverse marketplace, community events, and ongoing enhancements, it's more than a shopping center - it's social and cultural hub for both locals and visitors.
