Malaysia’s Central i-City shopping centre to open in 2018

Selangor’s Central i-City Shopping Centre is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of the year.

A collaboration with i-City Properties, it is the first international regional shopping centre for Thai developer/investor CPN and Malaysia’s i-City Properties.

Among anchor tenants just announced are Sogo Department Store and Village Grocer. TGV Cinemas will offer the first Imax screen in the region, along with eight digital cinemas seating up to 1800 patrons.

The project has a gross development value of RM850 million (US$216.6 million).

CPN Thailand COO Pakorn Partanapat says the goal for the shopping centre is to boost the mall/tenant relationship to ensure a win-win for everyone.

CPN Malaysia COO Anthony Dylan says the 940,000sqft (87,000sqm) shopping centre will have 350 retail shops over six levels.
