The newly opened One Square is a lifestyle hub on First Avenue in Petaling Jaya. It is within walking distance of 1 Utama. It has a Village Grocer, a pharmacy, cafes and wellness tenants, TheSmartLocal reported. The hub sits in Bandar Utama, near 1 Powerhouse.
Most of the space is set aside for events and relaxed hangout areas. However, more tenants are due to open in November and December. The hub is open daily from 8am to 10pm.
Overall, here is what is inside, what is still to come and how to plan a visit.
Food, drink and groceries
Village Grocer is the anchor, and it sells everyday groceries. It is the chain’s first outlet in Bandar Utama. AA Pharmacy stocks daily essentials, and it sits in a separate building outside the main compound.
The food and drink line-up includes Yellow Brick Road, Bengbeng Sourdough and Tea Garden. Wolfgang’s by Wolf & Turtle Coffee and IJO.Matcha Bar are also open. Together, they give visitors a mix of cafes and dessert stops.
More food tenants are on the way. Mama Kim Wellness Kitchen, Tap Room, Ayam Gepuk Hut and Fresh D are due between November and December. In addition, EM’s Cookies, Guru Guru and Contour are on the same list.
However, no exact opening days have been given for each tenant. Therefore, check with the hub before you plan a visit around one name. The hub’s official page may list updates as tenants open.
Wellness, events and open spaces
For wellness and services, there is The Flow Studio for Pilates. Likewise, Suga Nails offers manicures. Moreover, these sit alongside the food and grocery tenants, so one trip can cover several errands.
The Centrecourt is a 5,100 sq ft indoor space that fits up to 500 people. It is the hub’s main indoor events area. As a result, it can host larger gatherings than a typical cafe floor.

Rail users can walk from the Bandar Utama LRT and MRT stations. Cross a covered bridge towards the LRT station. After that, two more pedestrian bridges and a covered walkway lead to the hub. The walk takes about 10 minutes.
