PETALING JAYA: Sunway Malls will be unveiling its 10th mall, the Sunway Square Mall, in September this year.
To be located at Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, the mall will span 300,000 sq ft and have a net lettable area across four retail floors.
Sunway Malls said Sunway Square Mall is already 95% leased.
“Unlike conventional malls, Sunway Square Mall places emphasis on leisure and entertainment as its key differentiator.
The key tenants unveiled include Village Grocer, BUMP Bouldering, TGV Cinemas, The Library by BookXcess, COUNT, KKV, Tutu Toe Dance Academy and GoFit.
“With over 150 shops and 3,000 integrated parking bays, the mall aims to blend lifestyle with leisure to cultivate learning and growth. Simultaneously, Sunway Square Mall will feature a wide array of food and beverage (F&B) to cater to the surrounding office, student, and residential communities,” said Sunway Malls in a statement.
The group added that Sunway Square Mall will comprise twin commercial towers, a world-class 1,200-seater performing arts centre and a 24-hour library with several million books.
Sunway Malls chief executive officer HC Chan said Sunway Square Mall is part of Sunway Square, a visionary development designed to integrate a multifaceted range of spaces, catering to the arts, commerce, education and business.
“The mall plays a pivotal role as a trendy social hub in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, reflecting the changing lifestyles of urban dwellers with leisure, food and entertainment offerings becoming increasingly important drivers.
“Across our malls, we saw a robust F&B performance persisting after the pandemic. Due to continuous resilient out-of-home dining, F&B outlets increased to above 25% of total mall tenants today. A decade ago, F&B only took up 15% of a mall.”
Sunway Malls Selangor senior general manager Jason Chin said he is confident in the strategy to helm a mall specialising in leisure, food and entertainment.
“Looking at current trends, consumers today are often on a lookout for places to engage, either over a cup of coffee, a good meal, or via sports activities.
“They want to live what they see on their screens and share their experience via their own social platforms. The artistic designs of Sunway Square Mall combined with innovative elements and a vibrant tenant mix will serve this purpose.”
Sunway Malls reported a full year growth of 5% in 2024 year-on-year. The year-end festivities saw December’s sales performance growing by 5.6% year-on-year despite a shorter school holiday season.
“The momentum continued to the first quarter of 2025, with Chinese New Year and the school holidays,” said Sunway Malls.
