MANILA - The construction of the Philippine outlet of Swedish furniture-maker IKEA is "going according to plan" despite the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

IKEA PH, set to become the world's largest, will open in the third or fourth quarter of the year with its e-commerce site launching ahead of physical branch's opening, IKEA's Southeast Asia development manager Georg Platzer told reporters during a virtual media briefing. 

The company earlier said it would hire close to 500 workers for the branch. It also engaged Philippine firm Rags2Riches for its custom-made textile products.

The world's largest IKEA branch, located at the Mall of Asia Complex, will be 65,000-square meters, or big or enough to fit 150 basketball courts, officials earlier
said.

Two of IKEA Philippines' 5 floors will be for brick and mortar retail. The rest will be allocated for a warehouse and a call center that will handle the e-commerce side of the business, Platzer said.
