The mall has opened its doors to shoppers in the Northern region. The launch came with a committed occupancy of 95 per cent and more to come in its official launch targeted in the following months of 2022.
Since the start of the expansion and refurbishment in 2018, Sunway Carnival has doubled its retail space to one million square feet, with an anticipated annual visitation and footfall to reach 12 million by year-end.
The USD 113.5M expansion now accommodates a total of 350 shops and an expanded parking area with as many as 3,200 parking bays. With improved access via a dedicated ramp from the highway, shoppers now have more points of entry and egress to the newly upgraded mall.
Keeping in line with Sunway’s sustainability commitment, Sunway Carnival is one of the first in the region to be given a Green Mark Gold Plus rating. This was awarded to the mall due to its active use of energy-saving facilities, parking guidance system and cashless system – which are not only friendly to the environment but also provide convenience and safety to the shoppers. Art installations featuring recyclable items also decorate the mall’s landscape, highlighting the beauty that previously discarded items can bring.
In place of printed display units is a total of 3,331sq ft of LED surfaces throughout the mall, which includes a magnificent five-sided LED Screen in the Main Atrium. Currently used to welcome shoppers into the mall, the five-sided Screen and other LED surfaces can be utilised for other digital mall or tenant assets to catch the shopper’s eye as they walk through the designated areas.
The mall is also equipped with various family-friendly facilities such as a kid’s toilet, baby room with private nursing rooms for shoppers’ convenience and a children’s play area. Another feature of the mall is its calm room, known as the Autsome Room that comes with facial recognition features for the autism community and their families.
