Greater Kuala Lumpur Property Market Monitor | April 2023
Prime Retail
• Footfall is back to normal, especially at popular malls, having increased
noticeably during the recent festive periods. China’s reopening helped
boost optimism in the retail industry. We observed that popular malls in
the city centre have received hordes of foreign tourists.
• The recent quarterly retail sales performance for 4Q22 grew 13.7% y-o-y
and met market expectations despite a high base of 26.5% a year ago.
• The Consumer Sentiment Index (CSI) shows that Malaysian consumers
maintain a positive but cautious outlook. The CSI score for 4Q22 has
risen 6.9 points to 105.3 points, breached the 100-point threshold.
• The quarter saw no new supply coming online. Retailers are now
becoming more open to the revenue sharing model - the concept of a
percentage of turnover as a component of rent so that there is potential
upside for landlords as sales increase, meanwhile in leaner times, they
have to pay less.
• There were no notable mall transactions in the quarter. Nevertheless,
there is news regarding the property developer YNH Property Bhd, which
is planning to sell 163 Retail Park and one retail asset outside of Greater
Kuala Lumpur in a related-party transaction to ALX Asset Bhd for a total
of MYR 422.5 million to raise fresh capital.
