The project has a total floor area of 54,680 square meters and a roof area of 17,250 square meters. It has six floors above ground and one basement level, with seating designed for 4,030 people. Construction of the basement floor slab, foundation tie beams and support columns around the building has been completed. Approximately 3,000 tons of steel roof trusses and roof support framing for the main theater have been installed. Crews are now hoisting 35 steel structure modules onto the roof, with a combined weight of about 1,140 tons.
The building’s exterior features 50 columns. A project representative said interior finishing is also progressing. The center is planned to host the opening and closing ceremonies and major cultural performances during the 2027 APEC Leaders’ Meeting. The investor also plans to work with show producers after the meeting to stage performances combining circus acts, acrobatics and music.
An Giang province has adjusted its APEC 2027 preparations steering body and instructed relevant departments to press investors and contractors on key projects to ensure construction progress, quality and safety. The provincial government has also asked Phu Quoc to draw up an urban improvement plan, while the science and technology department will work with telecommunications companies to inspect and upgrade communications infrastructure across the island to meet the needs of the meeting.
