EPP 12
EPP 13
Transforming KLIA into a Retail Hub
As described in the ETP Roadmap, the Kuala Lumpur International
Airport (KLIA) served as a gateway to 29.7 million passengers and
an entry point to 54 international flights flying to 101 international
destinations. To fully capitalise on the retail potential, this EPP will
create a hub as a spin off from the development of KLIA2. The
transformation of the KLIA Retail Hub consists of:
• The development of the KLIA2 Integrated Complex (IC) with
additional retail space of approximately 34,000 square metres;
• The development of Landside Mall with approximately 70,000
square metres of gross area and 45,000 sq metres of net
lettable area;
• Factory Outlet Store with 10,000 square metres of net lettable
area; and
• Food and Beverage Centre with 10,000 square metres of space
(registered under EPP5: Makan Bazaars)
Achievements
Developing Big Box Boulevards
Within this EPP, large-scale integrated retail outlets, referred to as
Big Box Boulevards (BBB) will be designed and developed as an
aggregation of 12 ‘category killer’ retailers in a single integrated
location. These are expected to generate sales revenue of RM5
billion per annum. These anchor category stores will comprise
hypermarkets, furniture superstores, digital products and
electronics equipment malls as well as toy and sporting goods
stores, large automotive showrooms, textile centres, garden
and hardware superstores. The total built-up retail space will be
around 26 hectares. The Big Box Boulevards will be supported by
food and beverage outlets, convenience stores, liquor and tobacco
retailers. The Big Box Boulevards will leverage from the existing
and planned future ‘power centres’ to attract the regional market.
Achievements
In 2011, three locations for the first BBB have been identified in
Nusajaya (Johor), Subang Skypark (Selangor) and Nilai 3 (Negeri
Sembilan). Promoting the BBB at the international level, on 19
October 2011, PEMANDU participated in the Joint Economic Trade
The construction of the IC kicked off in 2011 with the signing of
the concession agreement between MAHB and WCT Berhad in
September 2011. The project development of the 50-acre land
for the Factory Outlet Centre, Food and Beverage Centre and
Auto City was also kicked off by the completion of the Request for
Proposals process by December 2011.
Moving Forward
The IC is expected to be completed in June 2012 and will be
opened to the public in October 2012, whilst construction for the
Factory Outlet Centre, Food and Beverage Centre and Auto City is
expected to begin in early 2012. This EPP project will contribute
