Kota Kinabalu is  in a Mall building frenzy. Since 2007 a few mega malls being built around Kota Kinabalu city. These are  big malls with at least 200 over retail outlets.

The biggest being 1-Borneo similar size of Mid-Valley Mega Mall in Kuala Lumpur. The hyper mall has over 500 retail outlets.

Borneo's First Scientific Aquarium

1BORNEO will house Borneo’s first public aquarium and ocean discovery centre called Aquatica.

Covering an area of some 2,800sq m Aquatica will showcase over 500 marine life species.

For children and teenagers, 1Borneo would feature playgrounds and entertainment centers spread over two floors.

Sagajuta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd managing director Raymond Chan said: “One of our key target markets are teenagers. When they come to 1Borneo, the parents will naturally follow.”

Chan and his management team have been studying major malls worldwide to come up with various concepts for 1Borneo. Thus visitors will find retail outlets arranged in “thematic clusters.”

The concourse or lower ground floor for example has been designated the market hall/household/services zone that would house the 84,000 sq ft Giant supermarket, the largest in Borneo.

Other major anchor tenants include HSL and SenQ as well as family restaurants such as McDonalds, Kenny Rogers, Ayam Mas, KFC and Pizza Hut.

Those in search of unique bargains can head to Chinatown, a bazaar-like retail area.

The ground floor has been designated the lifestyle precinct where most of the designer fashion outlets as well as a handicraft and cultural centre are to be located.

It will also have a covered and air conditioned al fresco dining area called the Boulevard that links the mall proper to the 3,000 sq m Auto Gallery by state owned fleet manager Angkatan Hebat Sdn Bhd.

Chan said the al fresco dining area would house popular names such as Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Dome, HK Teahouse, Fish n Co, Secret Recipe, Manhattan Fish Market and Thai Express. The first floor of the mall has been designated the family precinct.

Among the shops located at this level is a renowned Australian-based electrical store and Times Bookstore.

The second floor will house the Golden Screen cinema complex with eight screening halls, a 36-lane bowling alley and Singapore-based Raintree Spa.

DESCRIBED as the largest lifestyle hyper mall, 1Borneo will have more superlatives attached to its name.

Located some 7km from downtown Kota Kinabalu, 1Borneo’s proponents are making sure those intending to head to the mall will find it plain sailing – literally.

1Borneo will be the first mall in Malaysia and perhaps in Asia to operate a dedicated hovercraft service.

Hovercraft

1 Borneo developer Sagajuta Sdn Bhd managing director Raymond Chan said his company was targeting to get its fleet of three hovercraft operating when the mall opened its doors come March 2008.

Initially, each of the 30-seater hovercraft would ply 1Borneo and the Kota Kinabalu water front adjacent to the Warisan Square complex, Sagajuta’s first venture into the shopping centre business in Sabah.

The 15km journey to 1Borneo would take about 15 minutes by sea across the scenic Likas Bay.


At a later stage, Sagajuta will extend the hovercraft services to the Kota Kinabalu international airport thus enabling passengers to avoid peak hour traffic jams.

1Borneo will become the first mall in the country to have its own helicopter services for those in search of some serious retail therapy to reach the mall even faster.


1Borneo would also be operating a fleet of shuttle buses to ferry passengers from designated points such as hotels and resorts as well as the downtown area to an air-conditioned terminal at the mall.
