With almost 15 years to its name, Ikano Power Centre (IPC) has been thriving and flourishing in the bustling yet strategic location of Damansara City as a hotspot and major attraction of the vicinity.
As in most successful developments, change is a crucial element bound to the foundation of progress.
IPC Shopping Centre embraces change for the better, undergoing scrupulous planning to consider every single aspect for improvement to create the ideal mall, perfect for the masses it serves.
Taking place in three separate phases, the renovations and redevelopments of IPC begun in February include massive changes ranging from its design, tenants and even new additions to the mall.
Having consumers and community as its focal point, IPC brings ease to worries of convenience and needs of their customers. One of such conveniences include the recently completed Phase 1 of the redevelopment, shining the spotlight on the coveted Foodland located on the lower ground floor.
“The F&B culture in our country is very unique, we spend long hours working and in most cases having to eat out.” said IPC assistant general manager Karyn Lim. Putting the working crowd in consideration, Foodland is an entire floor dedicated to a bevy and variety of F&B tenants with many more to come soon.
Another addition soon to come to the F&B scene of IPC is a 1,976-sq-m area set to be an al-fresco (open air) area which will include even more dining options, some of which would even open past most other tenants in IPC. “ This also serves as a gathering area and appeals to socializing other than just typical eateries,” said Lim.
Aiming to provide a holistic family experience at IPC, there is the inclusion of Funland and Familyland which is still under development. Funland would serve as a play area for children to rejoice and have fun in an open playground style area.
Taking inspirations from its Swedish roots, IPC bases its new designs and decorations following ideas and styles from the homeland of Ikano and IKEA, providing a “Swede product, with local heart”.
IPC also links conveniences with a shuttle bus service from their mall to the Kelana Jaya LRT Station.
“IPC has always been a communal centric mall that puts the people first, engaging in initiatives and innovations that provide the best experience for consumers.
“We aim to set a different quality standard for what a mall is, instead of the usual brick and mortar stores,” she said.
IPC Shopping Centre is still open for business as the redevelopment takes place in three different phases. The first phase of redevelopment covering LG1 is now open for operation.
