Kuala Lumpur, 10 July 2024 – Sunway Pyramid, Malaysia’s premier retail destination, is gearing up to launch Oasis, its newly reconfigured retail space, by the fourth quarter of this year. Spanning over 250,000 square feet across four levels from the Orange Atrium to the Blue Atrium, Oasis represents a significant upgrade designed to attract a diverse array of high-yielding tenants and boost footfall.
Oasis: A Hub for Renowned Retail Brands
Oasis, poised to become a cornerstone of elite retail, will host approximately 100 tenants, including esteemed brands such as H&M Home, Art Toys Cafe by MILOLO, and the MUJI Flagship Store & Café. This expansion brings Sunway Pyramid’s total tenant portfolio to an impressive 1,000.
Last year, in a strategic move to elevate asset yield through increased rents per square foot, Sunway Pyramid appointed Jaya Grocer as the anchor tenant for the redeveloped space. Currently located at level B2, the prominent supermarket chain will soon relocate to a larger, permanent space with a brand-new concept at LG2.
Elevating the Retail Experience
Jason Chin, Senior General Manager of Sunway Pyramid, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming unveiling, stating, “With the upcoming unveiling of Oasis, we are making a critical advancement in our ongoing mission to elevate Sunway Pyramid’s retail experience. This strategic enhancement not only broadens our tenant mix with leading brands but also positions us to attract higher footfall and drive sustained growth. By reconfiguring this substantial space, we are ensuring that Sunway Pyramid remains at the forefront of Malaysia’s retail landscape, delivering unparalleled value to both our tenants and visitors.”
With a projected net lettable area (NLA) of 2 million square feet, Oasis is set to make a significant contribution to Sunway Pyramid’s overall revenue, underscoring the mall’s evolution as Malaysia’s leading retail destination.
Innovative Enhancements for an Elevated Shopping Experience
Beyond Oasis, Sunway Pyramid is committed to enhancing the overall customer experience. Since 2022, the mall has pioneered Malaysia’s first Internet-of-Toilet (IoT) system, transforming restroom facilities into a smart system for both customers and supervisors. The latest addition, a modern neo-Egyptian themed smart toilet located on the Ground Floor of the Blue Atrium, will serve as a model for future installations across the mall.

These toilets will also feature a family room catering to parents with children and individuals with disabilities.
Additional enhancements include an all-in-one interactive self-service kiosk with an easy-to-use interface, an enhanced Sunway Malls App with features like Easy Navigation, Deals & Events, and Match N Munch, new escalators connecting the Blue to Orange Atriums from LG2 to F Floors, as well as Electric Vehicle and Hybrid charging stations at CP2 Preferred Parking and B1 Preferred Parking.
The Terrace: A Nature-Inspired Extension
Slated for completion by Q2 2025, The Terrace, an annex adjacent to the iconic Lionhead and facing the New Pantai Expressway (NPE), will offer a refreshing, nature-inspired environment and house additional high-yielding tenants.
These developments support Sunway Pyramid’s goal of becoming the premier retail destination in the nation. For more information about Sunway Pyramid’s latest enhancement initiatives, visit www.sunwaypyramid.com or stay tuned to Sunway Pyramid’s social media pages for updates.
