Local housing developer Wah Mie Group has launched Sandakan’s first street life pedestrian mall named Sejati Walk, which is expected to be completed in 2017. The launching ceremony was officiated by managing director Quek Siew Hau and attended by more than 100 guests who were very keen to find out more about the project. According to Quek, this lifestyle pedestrian mall will be a double-storey open-air mall designed to connect the surrounding community together with its strategic and convenient location for the residents of Sandakan. It is an eco-friendly low density pedestrian mall well designed with natural ventilation and natural lighting, yet providing a high level of human comfort. He said that with affordable 341 small-size store units in typical Sandakan street life concept, Sejati Walk is expected to be able to provide holistic hospitality for the community. The average size of a unit is between 300 to 500 square feet, with prices at RM700 per square foot. Each unit also has an alarm system. Since January this year, Wah Mie has already sold all the units on the ground floor and 50% of the units upstairs. The mall also features a 54feet walkway in the centre which has vegetation, natural light and 24 feet fans that will provide ventilation. It will also have ample parking and CCTV surveillance around the vicinity. A special highlight in the mall that will please Malaysians and foreign alike is the Food Street which will be the first of its kind in Sandakan. It will introduce visitors to all the famous food in the city operated by local restaurants and coffee shops. With its strategic location in Mile 7, which is about three minutes away by car from the Sandakan Airport, Sejati Walk will become an ideal location for tourists as well as local residents to relax, recharge and shop. Sejati Walk aims to be the next iconic development in Sandakan which will also be the cornerstone of the city’s shopping destination. It will propel the future growth of the Sandakan economy. The construction of the mall has commenced in February this year. Those who are interested to know more are encouraged to visit Wisma Wah Mie Mile 4 here, or visit their website at www.wahmie.com.
