Mid Valley Megamall

Mid Valley Megamall is a shopping mall in Mid Valley City, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It sits at the entrance of Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur. Developed by IGB Berhad, the complex was opened in 1999. The mall has garnered media attention with events like the IT Fair, Home and Decoration Fair, and The MATTA Fair being held in the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (MVEC). It was awarded Best Shopping Complex Award 2000 by Tourism Malaysia and Best Retail Development 2001 by FIABCI Malaysia.

It was announced that a second mall, Mid Valley Southkey, had been slated for 2016 in the Iskandar region of Johor Bahru.

On 30 May 2017, a fire broke out on Megamall's lower ground floor at 8:20 pm local time. The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department managed to put it out by 8:52 pm. A subsequent investigation traced the cause of the fire to a faulty facsimile machine.

On 17 May 2023, an isolated fire broke out at the mall. The fire started from the TNB substation plant but was contained by the firefighters in less than an hour. The incident was believed to be caused by an overheating cooling oil within the TNB substation.

It comprises a shopping mall, an office tower block, 30 offices, and three hotels. Within the main mall, anchor tenants include Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, AEON, GSC Cinemas, Celebrity Fitness, MUJI, Metrojaya, Uniqlo and Harvey Norman.

A second mall, The Gardens Mall, is adjacent and connected to the Megamall. The mall has 4,500,000 sq ft (420,000 m2) of total floor area, out of which 1,700,000 sq ft (160,000 m2) is leasable space. This whole area is sometimes referred to as Mid Valley City.

It houses a 48,300 sq ft (4,490 m2) convention centre and it is adjacent to a 646-room business hotel named Cititel Midvalley. A further two hotels are in the same area: The Boulevard Hotel, The Gardens Hotel and Residences. There has been a proposal to link Mid Valley Megamall and Masjid Jamek via a 5.5 km (3.4 mi) bicycle lane.[citation needed]

The Mall Mid Valley Southkey, located in Johor Bahru, Johor, is the second Mid Valley branded shopping centre and opened on 23 April 2019. The mall is anchored by GSC Cinemas, SOGO, Swiss Watch Gallery, Nitori, Harvey Norman and Village Grocer.
