A new retail street in midtown Kuala Lumpur will be set to dazzle shoppers in September. Developed by Bandar Raya Developments Bhd (BRDB), the street will be a part of the second phase of its CapSquare project.

Located at Jalan Munshi Abdullah, the development is almost complete with 70% of the net retail space leased out, said a statement from the company.

“The four-level shopping centre and retail street is designed around the concept of providing something for everyone. With over 220,000 sq ft of prime shopping area, it offers a host of outlets featuring service and lifestyle retailers,” said BRDB chief executive officer Datuk Jagan Sabapathy.

The anchor tenant for the street will be TGV Cinema Sdn Bhd that will boast a six-screen Cineplex with a 1,200 seating capacity on the third floor. While other well-known retail brands will include Starbucks, Coffee Bean, the Delicious Group, Times The Bookshop, the Body Shop and Triumph.

Retail concepts from other parts of the world will also be featured, such as the Pancake House from the Phillipines, an ice cream franchise called DreamCones from Thailand as well as an authentic Arabian restaurant, wine bars and a string of other restaurants serving Hainanese, Thai and local cuisine.

Also opening in the retail street is E-Centre, a podium at the end of the vicinity, in December. A key tenant of the podium will be international fitness chain California Fitness.

A Food Festival Village that will “celebrate the best of Asian street food” is also planned for the E-Centre.

Phase two of CapSquare also includes the first of two 36-storey upmarket condominium blocks with 170 units.
