Leveraging on the already high tourist arrivals atGenting Highlands,King's Park Genting Highlands is a mega development in partnership with Yuk Tung Group and the Association for the Promotion of Higher Education in Malaysia (APHEM). The development spans over 61-hectares of freehold land,comprising an integrated entertainment hub that includes a unique blend of commercial and recreational offerings.

Sean added,'This grand project will be segmented by phases. The first phase involves the provision of commercial shops that will provide our distinguished guests with a cinematic retail experience. We have spared no expense into injecting a unique sense of charm in each of these shops.'

The King's Park commercial centre features a 2,000m stretch of cutting-edge pedestrian street shops. The 12 blocks that will house a total of 360 shops are masterfully designed and based on colonial and vintage architecture. Each retail block unit is held under a freehold strata title and has its own identity and façade design. The size of each unit averages 7m by 23m. Most ground floor units will have exceptionally high ceilings measuring 6.5m,with an option to include a mezzanine floor. The highlight of some of these shops are alfresco terraces plus duo entrances to allow free flow and easy access for visitors.

What distinguishes King's Park from the rest of the retail shops available in Genting Highlands is that it is an integrated entertainment hub. There will be a significant presence of internationally acclaimed brands,with new experiences to be introduced into the development which are not yet available in Malaysia. There will be many outdoor activities such aseco-sports,mountain biking trails and attractions including theme parks,and,the world's largest terrarium atmore than 600m in length.

To emphasize the magnitude of the integrated entertainment hub project,there will be approximately 18,680 sq m of 'Truly Asia Cultural Streets'. The 'Truly Asia Cultural Streets' at King's Park will allow patrons and visitors to experience the metropolitan charms of famed and acclaimed streets such as Seoul's Myeongdong,Osaka's Ebisubashi-Suji,and Bangkok's Khao San Road,where neon lights and signages play an important part in its exciting aesthetic. This cultural labyrinth is designed to encapsulate the spirit of Asia,showing off its diversity and energy.

In addition,with Muslim communities forming over 65% of Malaysia's population,King's Park proposes to include aninternational retail halal hub and a halal luxury boutique hotel. This will attract local and overseas Muslim tourists and will promote diversity andinclusivity,tapping into the rapidly growing market for halal-friendly travel and dining options. With so much to offer,a day trip to King's Park would not be sufficient. For those who want to stay longer,King's Park raises the bar by offering various five-star hotels,including the luxury Swissôtel Genting Highlands which is scheduled to open in 2028.

The first phase of commercial and retail shops is scheduled to open in 2026. Neighbours include luxurious residence developments,Awana Golf Resort and Genting Highlands Premium Outlets.
