Coronation Square, an integrated development in Johor Bahru’s city centre, is set to house the area’s largest retail mall, developer Coronade Properties said in a joint statement with Singapore Retailers Association and CapitaLand Investment on Thursday (May 7).<\/p>\n
Slated to be completed in 2029, the mall at Coronation Square will feature a mix of stores from Malaysia and Singapore as well as regional and global brands.<\/p>\n
It is positioned as a retail and lifestyle destination and will offer a day-to-night experience anchored by a marketplace grocer, diverse dining options and experiential offerings, the statement said.<\/p>\n
The mall will also offer family-friendly attractions and wellness experiences catered to tourists, residential communities and office crowds alike.<\/p>\n
It is part of Phase 2 of Coronation Square’s construction, which also includes two residential blocks.<\/p>\n
Beyond retail and residences, the integrated development will include hospitality, medical and commercial components as well, and is accessible from the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar CIQ Complex via an overhead bridge.<\/p>\n
The Ascott Limited will be operating the hotel at Coronation Square under its flagship Ascott brand, marking its debut in JB.<\/p>\n
