SEPANG: Malaysia's new factory outlet park, the Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA, will start operations early next year, said Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) chairman Tan Sri Dr Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Abdullah.
The park, the largest factory outlet shopping mall in Southeast Asia
with 25,000 sq. m. of commercial area, hosts 140 outlets offering luxury
products, fashion accessories, sporting and outdoor goods, a Japanese
specialty store, entertainment centre as well as an amusement park, he
said.
"The project marks another significant development of an exciting, much
anticipated commercial project under the KLIA Aeropolis Masterplan," he
said in his speech at the outlet's ground breaking here today.
Also present were Tourism and Culture Ministry secretary general Datuk
Dr Ong Hong Peng and Mitsui Fudosan executive managing officer Takeshi
Suzuki.
MFMA Development Sdn Bhd, a joint venture company between Mitsui
Fudosan and Malaysia Airports, will undertake the construction, tenant
leasing, promotions, management and operations of the mall.
"With an investment of RM335 million over three phases, we believe the
project will translate to positive returns for the country's tourism and
economy.
"We are honoured to have a trusted partner with Mitsui Fudosan, Japan's
renowned and most reputable real estate and retail property developer,"
he said.
Meanwhile Malaysia Airports senior general manager Planning Khair Mirza
said: "The people haven't had an outlet mall like this in the Klang
Valley, this mall will be the ideal place for them," he told reporters.
He said a shuttle bus service from KLIA to the outlet, about six km away, is expected to be provided.
