Japanese lifestyle shopping mall, Lalaport, is set to open its first Southeast Asian location in Malaysia next month at Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC).
The Mitsui Fudosan-owned shopping mall is set to open its doors to the public on January 20, featuring a tenant mix of about 400 stores from global and Japanese brands, including those making their first appearance in Malaysia such as Nitori and Nojima.
LaLaport BBCC marks the chain’s second international location after Mitsui Shopping Park LaLaport Shanghai Jinqiao, and will also be one of Lalaport’s largest commercial facilities in the world with more than 82,600sqm of floor space.
Inspired by ‘modern simplicity’ and ‘Japanese flavor’ design concepts, LaLaport BBCC brings to life a “stylish appearance befitting city center locations complemented by a warm interior design conducive for shoppers to spend the entire day in comfort”.
The complex features five floors above ground and five floors below including four floors of basement parking. LaLaport BBCC also presents a 1700sqm rooftop garden equipped with a roofed step stage and surrounded by greenery and trees.
A large F&B floor houses supermarkets, ‘Depachika Marche’ for take-away foods, and a cafeteria. Meanwhile, the ‘Gourmet Street’ offers a fresh al fresco dining experience for shoppers while the large ‘Garden Dining’ food court on Level 4 boasts a 1400-seating capacity. There is also an event space dubbed ‘Wow Plaza’ located at the center of Gourmet Street.
