PROPERTY owners and home decor enthusiasts can look forward to a massive home retail experience with the setting up of a flagship store by a renowned company from Thailand.
Home Product Centre (M) Sdn Bhd’s (Homepro) new store will sit on a 1.6ha site in Shah Alam which has been leased from Naza TTDI for a 32 years.
Homepro managing director Anuchar Jitjaturunt said the flagship store would boast of more than 5,000 home products.
Anuchar added the collaboration with Naza TTDI would cater to the needs of home product buyers, not only for Shah Alam but also those in the Petaling and Klang districts.
“We hope to provide a one-stop shop for all homes in Malaysia by offering value for money in home improvement products and services.
“We opened our first store in IOI City Mall, Putrajaya, last year and we hope to open many more stores in future,” he said.
The strategic location of HomePro’s store, which is within Naza TTDI’s RM2.5bil TTDI Gateway development, will add value to the thriving integrated hub.
Naza TTDI deputy executive chairman and group managing director SM Faliq SM Nasimuddin said the presence of HomePro, Thailand’s leading home improvement store, marked the first international collaboration in TTDI Gateway.
“It will be an important boost to the development and is in line with TTDI Gateway’s aspiration to become an international lifestyle hub in Shah Alam,” he said at the signing ceremony of the lease.
TTDI Gateway will be developed in three phases and is targeted for completion by 2020.
It will consist of offices, serviced apartments and retail components.
TTDI Sentral was launched last year and the first phase of development, comprising business suites and retail units, had received good response.
A totally self-sustained township and business hub, it would be supported with good accessibility infrastructure with the upcoming LRT3 station.
