SHAH ALAM - AEON is ramping up preparations for its latest flagship retail destination as AEON Mall KL Midtown moves closer to its fourth-quarter 2026 opening, unveiling a line-up of key tenants and offering the first detailed look at its retail direction within the KL Metropolis development.
The preview was held at the Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur at KL Midtown during the AEON Mall KL Midtown Hard Hat Party, where participating brands, business partners and stakeholders were briefed on leasing progress, tenant mix and the mall’s overall positioning ahead of launch.
The event also featured a site visit, giving invited guests an early view of the development as construction progresses towards completion.
Among the confirmed tenants announced so far are;
- Oriental Kopi
- Dolly Dim Sum
- Sushiro
- Verrona Hills Bakery and Patisserie
- Komehyo
- Seiko Vision Specialist
- Omakase Lab
- Luxe Hair and Nail
Additional tenants are expected to be announced in the coming months.
Anchoring the development will be the AEON Store, which is set to bring the group’s full retail ecosystem into the heart of KL Metropolis, positioning the mall as a comprehensive destination for fashion, dining, lifestyle and daily essentials.
In addition to tenant announcements, AEON also outlined updates on leasing strategy, marketing direction, tenant design coordination and customer engagement initiatives, signalling what it described as strong momentum leading into the final phase of preparation.
AEON Managing Director Tsugutoshi Seko said the response from retail partners reflects growing confidence in the development and its long-term positioning within Kuala Lumpur’s evolving retail landscape.
“AEON Mall KL Midtown represents an important addition to our portfolio as we continue to strengthen our presence in key growth areas across Malaysia.
“The response from retail partners has been encouraging, and it speaks to the confidence they have in the mall's positioning and its long-term potential within KL Metropolis.
“As our first mall within a development of this scale, we are focused on building a destination that genuinely serves the surrounding community where everyday convenience and meaningful experiences come together in a place people want to return to.
“We look forward to bringing that vision to life later this year,” he said.
AEON Mall KL Midtown will become AEON’s 28th shopping mall in Malaysia and forms part of the broader KL Midtown master development within KL Metropolis.
The project is expected to further strengthen Kuala Lumpur’s city-centre retail offering by integrating lifestyle, dining and convenience-driven experiences within a single destination.
Developers said further tenant announcements will be rolled out progressively as the mall approaches its official opening, with more details on store mix and experiential concepts expected in the coming months.
