Experiential Retail Innovation
What sets Ombak KLCC apart is its integration of 18,600 square meters of gallery and cultural programming space throughout the retail floors, creating a unique hybrid destination where shopping meets culture. The food hall concept on the fourth floor represents a departure from traditional mall dining, offering curated culinary experiences that showcase both international flavors and elevated Malaysian cuisine. The rooftop garden adds an unprecedented outdoor retail dimension, providing 3,501 sqm of green space where visitors can enjoy dining and shopping with panoramic views of the Petronas Twin Towers.

The mall's October 2025 opening will introduce a new paradigm in Southeast Asian retail, where every square meter is designed to create memorable experiences rather than simple transactions. From the convenience-focused concourse level to the sky-high dining experiences on the roof garden, Ombak KLCC represents the future of luxury retail - a seamless integration of shopping, dining, culture, and lifestyle that positions it as the region's most sophisticated retail destination.
