Mall group's 10th facility to open in PJ this September
Sunway Square Mall management announcing the opening of the upcoming new mall together with key tenants.
Petaling Jaya will see a new shopping destination – Sunway Square Mall – opening in September in Bandar Sunway, Selangor.
Spanning 300,000sq ft of net lettable area across four retail floors, it is Sunway Malls' 10th facility in the country.
Sunway Square Mall emphasises leisure and entertainment.
Key tenants include Village Grocer, Bump Bouldering, TGV Cinemas, The Library by BookXcess, Count, KKV, Tutu Toe Dance Academy and GoFit.
With over 150 shops, the mall aims to blend lifestyle with leisure to cultivate learning, it said in a press statement.
It will feature a wide array of F&B outlets to cater to the surrounding office, student and residential communities.
It also has 3,000 integrated parking bays.
Sunway Square is the latest development in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur, comprising twin commercial towers, a 1,200-seater performing arts centre and a 24-hour library with several million books.
'Sunway Square Mall is part of Sunway Square, a development designed to integrate a multi- faceted range of spaces, catering to the arts, commerce, education and business,' said Sunway Malls chief executive officer HC Chan.
He said leisure, food and entertainment offerings had become increasingly important drivers.
'Across our malls, we saw a robust F&B performance persisting after the (Covid-19) pandemic.
'Today, F&B outlets have increased to above 25% of total mall tenants. A decade ago, F&B only took up 15% of a mall.'
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% despite a shorter school holiday season.
The momentum continued to the first quarter of 2025, with Chinese New Year and school holidays.
Sunway Malls' strongest hold is over the Klang Valley, forming 67.2% of the mall group's total net lettable area.
The southern region currently forms 15.8% and the northern region, 17%.
Sunway is also building another two malls, slated to complete in 2027 – Sunway Pier with a retail space of 400,000 sq ft in Port Klang and Sunway Ipoh Mall with a retail space of 1.2 million sq ft in Sunway City Ipoh.
Another RM3bil mixed-used development located adjacent to the Bukit Chagar Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link station in Johor, will also feature a 400,000 sq ft retail space in 2028.
The mall group is primed to own 13 malls with 8.2 million sq ft of net lettable area.
