NagaCorp, the largest hotel, gaming and leisure operator in Cambodia, held the official ground breaking ceremony on Wednesday for Naga2, a large-scale mixed-use expansion that will be completed by 2015.

Situated 200 meters from the existing NagaWorld, the Naga2 expansion project will feature two 5-star hotel blocks, a gaming and entertainment complex, a theatre, luxury shopping boutiques, as well as numerous dining selections.

Spanning a total of 1.2 million square feet, Naga2 will be the first integrated resort in Cambodia that comprises two luxury hotels and a podium block.

The podium block will incorporate a theatre with state-of-the-art facilities which can accommodate an audience of 3,000.

Another highlight of Naga2 will be the 200,000 sq ft of retail space which stretches from NagaWorld to Naga2, also known as the NagaCityWalk. This distinctive mall will offer a spectrum of luxury fashion shopping boutiques, as well as top restaurants to cater to patrons. The integrated resort will be serviced by 532 parking bays.
