SVM, the fifth mall own by Sunway Mall will give it patrons a unique shopping experience as it is designed to exemplify the tagline "Elevate Every Moment" that is showcased through its impressive neo-futuristic facade, especially its unmissable feature the 'KL Org' which presents the ideal backdrop for Instagrammers eager to snap wefies and selfies.

More so in the evenings, when the colourful LED lights shine and create a space-like, sci-fi environment.

The CEO of Sunway Shopping Malls & Theme Parks, Mr. H.C. Chan in his speech said that Sunway's aim was to provide a home away from home for urbanites to relax, unwind and enjoy a great time with friends and family.

SVM was built and designed with one key purpose, to enrich the life experiences of its surrounding community. This will become the hip, select place that provide the best retail and entertainment experience. 

The seven level mall with 1 million sqft of retail space will house big retail names including the first AEON MaxValu Prime in the country and the third after Japan and Hong Kong. The other two main anchors are Parkson and TGV Cinemas, the leading exhibitor in Malaysia which also houses IMAX, the world's most immersive movie experience and the largest IMAX screen in Malaysia.

Other key tenants includes Grand Imperial, Uniqlo, Harvey Norman, Padini Concept Store, Popular Bookstore, Home's Harmony, Toys 'R' Us, JD Sports and CHI-X Fitness.

Chan also said that the mall is part of the golden triangle of retail spaces comprising recently launched IKEA Cheras, AEON Maluri Shopping Centre, MyTOWN  Shopping Centre and the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) Lifestyle Quarter development. We see the whole location as a 'Sunway-TRX-Ikea (STI) Retail Triangle' where each retail element complements each other.
