Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA Sepang officially opens | MFMA Development Sdn Bhd, a joint venture between Mitsui Fudosan Co, Ltd (Mitsui Fudosan) and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (Malaysia Airports), celebrated the Grand Launch of Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA Sepang (MOP KLIA Sepang) today. The launch ceremony was officiated by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak, and marks a milestone in Malaysia’s transformation to become a major shopping destination in South East Asia.
The completion of the first phase of MOP KLIA Sepang boosts Kuala Lumpur’s appeal as a transit hub and shopping destination to over 27 million international and regional travellers who land in Malaysia each year.
Mr Masanobu Komoda, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mitsui Fudosan said, “We will unite the Malaysian culture and needs with our Japanese style of hospitality, and we will strive to operate Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA Sepang to be an attractive and safe destination complemented by comfort and convenience. We have injected our experience and knowledge acquired from the development and operations of thirteen (13) existing outlet malls in Japan as well as many other retail malls that we own and manage internationally.”
MOP KLIA Sepang features a unique ‘Paradise Village’ design concept with four nature inspired zones – the Sunshine Square, Pier Walk, Tropical Plaza and Beach Walk – to evoke a tropical feel. This ensures that visitors feel relaxed and comfortable while walking amongst 127 outlets. MOP KLIA Sepang will be Malaysia’s new shopping paradise where luxury meets affordability.
