118 Mall, previously known as MERDEKA @ 118, is a seven-storey glass domed shopping mall currently under construction located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.[1] The name "118" was derived from the number of floors in the Merdeka 118 tower which has a total of 118 storeys. The mall is currently being developed and owned by PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), which is also the developer for the Merdeka 118. It is a Шаблон:Convert mall situated at the foot of the tower that will serve its surrounding precinct.[2]
As of December 2023, there are no details yet on the tenants and planned opening date of the mall.
The developer had awarded the contract to build a shopping complex as part of the Merdeka 118 development at the former site of Merdeka Park, which was the second oldest public park in Kuala Lumpur, to a joint-venture between WCT Holdings Berhad and TSR Capital Berhad.[3] The mall is planned to be surrounded by 4-acre of greenery and a linear park namely, Merdeka Boulevard At 118, which will also connect the Maharajalela Monorail station and the mall. Construction works on the building as well as the shopping mall began in 2014 and is slated for full completion by late-2023.[4]
A glass dome will be constructed as the roof of the mall to bring in filtered natural light into the centre of the mall. The mall's organic theme will have sculptural design-story elements and water-features based on Malaysian culture.
