The National ICT Association of Malaysia (PIKOM) initiated the PIKOM ICT Mall CapSquare where retail space is exclusive to its members. This is the first time in PIKOM’s 25-year history that the association is initiating an ICT Mall. It is a major milestone for the association and the mall is part of its on-going initiatives to help spur the country’s ICT retail industry.
In June 2011, PIKOM entered into a partnership with BRDB to lease the mall’s space to its members for nine years.
With an extensive range and perfect blend of retail, restaurants and a cinema, there is something for every taste and interest. The mall also offers well-run facilities of vigilant security and vast number of CCTVs, over 2,000 car park bays, and easy access to the Putra LRT, STAR LRT, Monorail and KTM Commuter.
A total of 135,320 sq ft of retail space has been allocated in the four-storey building. There are altogether 102 kiosks featuring a complete range of ICT products like tablet PCs, notebooks, PC products and peripherals, broadband products, media players, GPS product and Internet TV players.
Some of the premier brands to look out for are Challenger (largest IT mega store in Malaysia), Canon, iStudy by Apple, Lenovo (latest concept and flagship store in Malaysia), Sennheiser (biggest concept store in Asia), Celcom Blue Cube (latest concept store in Malaysia), Epson (1st concept store in Malaysia), TomTom (1st concept store in Asia), i-Xperience (1st concept store for Imation, TDK and Memorex worldwide).
Also within reach are telecommunication retailers are such as Celcom, DiGi, Maxis, U-Mobile, plus an array of F&B outlets such as Secret Recipe, Modesto’s, Starbucks Coffee, Subway and Café Magpie. Other outlets are TGV Cinemas and Clark Hatch Fitness Centre.
