Northern Virginia’s Premier Center

Eden Center began as the Plaza Seven Shopping Center over 40 years ago. In 1996, a major transformation took place when the center’s owners spent millions on the renovation of the center and the addition of a 32,400 square foot space called Saigon West.

Eden Center was awarded as the “Most Improved Commercial Property” in Falls Church, Virginia in 1997 and was voted as the “Best Shopping Center” in 2014 and 2015 by Washington City Paper. Founded by Norman Ebenstein and led by Douglas Ebenstein, Eden Center is one of Capital Commercial Properties Inc.’s assets.

The Clock Tower

The Eden Center Clock Tower, an exact replica of downtown Saigon, was erected as a reminder of the home away from home for the thousands of immigrants who settled in the Washington DC metropolitan area after the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Today, the younger generation also holds Eden Center dear, and frequent Eden Center each and every weekend. An elaborate Lion Arch was added as a gateway entrance off busy Wilson Boulevard to honor both Vietnamese and Chinese cultures that are reflected in both Eden Center’s shops and its customers.

Vietnamese American Community

Today, the Center is the heart and soul of the Vietnamese-American Community for the entire East Coast. Eden Center continues to grow and extend its financial and community support into the surrounding Vietnamese and Asian community. Eden Center hosts an annual Tet festival and an annual Moon Festival.
