Sunway Ipoh Mall adds an ice rink and 36 bowling lanes

Sunway Ipoh Mall will have an ice rink, 36 bowling lanes and a 10-hall cinema. It is due to open in the fourth quarter of 2027. The RM1 billion mall is already 80% leased. Here is what shoppers can expect inside.

The mall has 1.2 million sq ft of net lettable area on four retail floors. It will hold about 400 shops. It sits inside the 1,350-acre Sunway City Ipoh, about five minutes from the North-South Expressway Tambun exit.

Below are the leisure features, the brands and why Sunway sees an opening in Ipoh. However, the company has not given a firm opening month. Therefore, the 2027 target is the only date for now.

Sunway Ipoh Mall ice rink, bowling and cinema

The Sunway Ice Rink is described by Sunway Malls as Perak’s first ice-skating rink. It is one of seven anchors. The mall will also have Sunway Megalanes, a 36-lane bowling centre.

In addition, there will be a multipurpose sports space and the Sunway Ipoh Exhibition Centre. Likewise, a food area called Gourmet Garden is planned. However, the company has not named its dining tenants.

Meanwhile, TGV Cinemas will run a 10-hall cinema with about 1,500 seats. The other anchors are Parkson Elite, Village Grocer and Mr D.I.Y. Plus. Together, the seven anchors set the mall’s mix of shopping and leisure.

Parking will total 2,950 bays, including 100 for electric vehicles. That is a big count for a four-floor mall. However, the company has not said if parking will be free.

Sunway Ipoh Mall brands, 80% leasing and shop mix

The mall has 80% of its retail space secured a year before opening. Sunway has unveiled 25 brands so far. Sunway Malls Group Managing Director HC Chan said the leasing level shows demand for quality retail in Ipoh.

Uniqlo will open its largest store in Perak there. Muji, LC Waikiki and TopTen10 will open their first Perak stores. Meanwhile, Decathlon, Harvey Norman, JD Sports, Padini and Popular are also signed.

Moreover, nine of the 25 brands are new to Perak. Overall, more than 100 of the 400 shops are expected to be new to the state. These figures come from two different reports. Check the final count at opening.

Chan said he expects full occupancy a year from now. As a result, every unit could be let by around the time of opening. However, leasing figures can change, so watch for updates.

Why Sunway Ipoh Mall targets an underserved market

Chan said Perak does not yet have a Tier 1 mall. As a result, many residents travel up to three hours to the Klang Valley for wider shopping. The company puts the catchment at about 2.5 million people across Perak.

By comparison, Sunway Carnival Mall in mainland Penang serves about 1 million. Chan said that mall earned higher sales per square metre in 2026 than Sunway Pyramid. Moreover, he cited it as the basis for his confidence in Ipoh.

Meanwhile, Sunway is talking about dedicated public transport and shuttle services. However, no routes or start dates were given. The township also has Lost World of Tambun, The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat and Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh nearby.

In short, Sunway Ipoh Mall brings Perak’s first ice rink, 36 bowling lanes and 2,950 parking bays by Q4 2027. It is 80% leased. Watch for a firm opening date and the shuttle plans.
