PacifiCity represents a new focal point for Kota Kinabalu teeming with a
rich mix of local businesses, community centres, top schools and a large
catchment of local and expatriate residents which has contributed to its
family friendly positioning and tenancy mix of the shopping mall.
“Reflecting our community centric vision, we have placed a lot of emphasis
on creating a family friendly, safe and professionally managed shopping
centre. Through dialogue with our target patrons and experienced retail
planners, we are crafting a shopping mall that will serve the wants, needs
and whims of KK’s population,” says Jonathan Wheeler.
He adds that the two anchor tenants will be bringing exciting new retail
and entertainment concepts to Sabah.
Everrise Supermarket, one of the largest and fastest growing supermarkets
in Sarawak, opened its first store in 1993 and today offers complete onestop grocery shopping for all household needs, combined with a valuefor-money retail experience across 20 stores to serve a lifestyle oriented
customer.
The new 25,000 sq ft Everrise Supermarket in PacifiCity aims to create
a new lifestyle and consumer-centric supermarket environment by
introducing new lines of products and services and featuring new store
design that appeals to the local community.
The project’s 8-screen 50,000 sq ft Cineplex will be TGV Cinemas’ first
establishment in Sabah. TGV Cinemas is one of Malaysia’s oldest and
largest multiplex cinema operators with 22 cineplexes and close to 180
screens across the country. Their strategic partnership with IMAX has
transformed an ordinary trip to the cinema into a totally immersive movie
experience. The IMAX screen is four storeys high, allowing a picture that
is bigger, higher and wider than your field of vision, fully immersing the
viewer in the movie. The experience is intensified by a laser-aligned 12,000
watt sound system and a custom designed seating layout to ensure moviegoers are always in the centre of the action.
The design of PacifiCity’s 450,000 sq ft shopping centre draws inspiration
from Sabah’s natural beauty, quite literally ‘bringing the outside inside’ with
features such as the Kinabatangan River Village, a 90-meter long indoor
river spanned by quaint little boutiques and cafes, to a cavernous signature
atrium filled with green walls, natural timbers and light wells.
Site progress continues on track with the topping out of the retail podium
expected by early next year.
