Sunway Carnival Mall Sdn Bhd’s senior general manager H.C. Chan said the mall which had a built up area of 800,000 sq feet housed the Parkson Grand departmental store as its anchor tenant.
He said there were also the eight-screen Golden Screen Cinemas and a 70,000 sq feet Giant supermarket in the mall.
“With about 160 specialty shops, entertainment and dining outlets, visitors will find it convenient shopping at this mall.
“It has a 1,200-capacity convention and exhibition centre, the biggest in the northern region,” he said at the soft opening of the mall.
Chan said the four-storey mall had 2,400 parking bays, including 1,100 bays within the mall, adding that there was a 93% confirmed tenancy rate.
He said a recent study showed that Penang recorded the third highest sales per capita in the country and there was a 13% projected growth in population by the year 2010.
He added that the mall located in Jalan Todak was also designed to be friendly to handicapped shoppers as there were special services such as the Helping Host programme and facilities such as trend-setting lavatories, Braille-imprinted buttons on all lifts and double railings throughout the mall.
“It is also the first mall in the northern region to utilise the i-LCD directory to help shoppers find their way in the mall,” he added.
The mall is managed under the aegis of Sunway Pyramid Sdn Bhd and wholly owned by Sunway Carnival Sdn Bhd.
