Setting KL East Mall apart from its competitors is its unique façade, a design inspired by the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge, the longest quartz ridge in the world and a potential UNESCO World Heritage site located not far from the mall.
KUALA LUMPUR: KL East Mall has announced the line-up of its key tenants comprising well-known brands such as Jaya Grocer, Camp5, MBO, Blue Ice-Skating Rink, Toys ‘R’ Us, Harvey Norman, Jungle Gym and Café Chef Wan.
The KL East Mall is a new retail and lifestyle boutique mall located at KL East, a 160-acre integrated development by Sime Darby Property. The mall is the group’s first 100% owned retail mall development, with a gross build-up of approximately 1.2mil sq ft.
Sime Darby Property acting group CEO Datuk Wan Hashimi Albakri Wan Ahmad Amin Jaffri said that KL East Mall aspires to become the catalyst for the KL East development of Sime Darby Property. It is positioned as a boutique lifestyle retail mall that will serve the surrounding upmarket neighbourhood of middle to middle-upper income brackets.
The new KL East Mall has a nett lettable area of 384,210 sq ft with 200 retail outlets spread across four retail floors.
“KL East Mall is in an ideal position to enjoy a primary catchment of 1.28mil population with healthy purchasing power, through a total household income of RM29.5bil per annum. The mall is also well positioned to attract a large student population, as there are various educational institutions within its proximity,” he said.
KL East Mall centre manager Dylan Chan said the mall is set to provide urban shoppers with an exceptional experience due to its location neighbouring an 83-acre forest reserve. The shopping centre’s current occupancy rate is also highly encouraging.
“We are proud to announce that to date, KL East Mall has over 75% occupancy, and our official opening will be in March 2020,” he added. KL East Mall’s strategic location gives easy access for shoppers within KL East, neighbouring Melawati and other towns in its vicinity, which includes Wangsa Maju, Setiawangsa, Batu Caves, Ampang and Selayang.
The mall provides a carefully planned basement and elevated car parks with 1,300 bays to accommodate drive-in shoppers during peak shopping seasons.
