New 320,000 sqft community mall in Sunway City KL features Village Grocer, KKV, and pet playground
SUNWAY City Kuala Lumpur welcomed its newest landmark on December 12 as Sunway Square Mall officially opened to the public, introducing a 320,000 square-foot pet-friendly community destination designed to redefine urban lifestyle.
The four-level mall represents a key component of the integrated Sunway Square development, connecting shopping, dining, education, and recreation under one roof with 95% of retail spaces already operational.
“Sunway Square Mall extends our brand experience as we welcome the public to this visionary development that integrates arts, commerce, education, and business,” said HC Chan, CEO of Sunway Malls.
Diverse Retail Mix Serves Community Needs
The mall houses over 130 retail outlets anchored by prominent tenants catering to varied interests. Village Grocer provides fresh produce and household essentials, while KKV offers trendy lifestyle products. Fitness enthusiasts can challenge themselves at BUMP Bouldering, and young dancers can enroll at Tutu Toe Dance Academy.
A standout feature is the 24-hour Library by BookXcess, which includes Kenny Hills Bakers, creating an ideal environment for students from neighboring Sunway University to study or socialise.
Meet Squarrel: The Mall’s Beloved Mascot
Adding personality to the shopping experience is Squarrel, the mall’s official mascot created by Malaysian comic artist Ernest Ng, known for ‘Bro, Don’t Like That La, Bro’.
The square-shaped, bread-like character embodies cheerfulness and curiosity, reflecting the community spirit the mall aims to foster.
Art Meets Architecture
Sunway Square Mall showcases artistic elements throughout its spaces, including Spanish-inspired steps and a steel arch structure on Level 1.
Six sculptures by Sunway’s resident artist Infantino Fernandes—titled Brass, Bass, Strings, Poise, Grace, and Masque—are strategically positioned throughout the premises.
These design choices preview the creative atmosphere of the upcoming Jeffrey Cheah Performing Arts Centre, scheduled to open in 2026.
Pet-Friendly Outdoor Spaces
Pet owners will appreciate direct access to Sunway South Quay Lake & Park via bubble lifts from multiple levels.
The outdoor area features a themed Squarrel Pet Playground and lakeside views complemented by the mall’s waterfall feature, creating a relaxing environment for both shoppers and their pets.
Seamless Integration with Education
The mall forms part of the larger Sunway Square development, which houses Sunway University’s new campus, including the Sunway Business School and Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Located within Sunway City Kuala Lumpur’s 15-minute city concept, the development offers convenient access through the Canopy Walk and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.
