Mark your calendars everyone! 29 Nov 2025 will see the grand unveiling of Hextar World, a sprawling 1.8-million-square-foot lifestyle hub in the heart of Empire City, Petaling Jaya.
Envisioned as a playground for both the casual wanderer and the cultured, this flagship destination will gather 6 themed zones and over 600 brands beneath a single, architecturally striking roof. Think of it as Malaysia’s latest answer to “Where do we go today?” — with everything from retail therapy to cultural indulgence.
Yet, in a year already brimming with new malls and more slated for 2026, what truly sets Hextar World apart from the rest?
One of its one-of-a-kind attractions is the Malaysia National Ice Skating Stadium (MYNISS), returning in all its glory with an Olympic-sized rink primed for professional figure skating, ice hockey face-offs, and other activities.
Not far away, Slope Master — Malaysia’s largest indoor ski training facility — offers snowy adventures no matter the season. Already in soft-launch since 11 Aug, it’s inviting both first-time skiers and seasoned pros to swap sneakers for skis.
If water is more your element, the country’s largest indoor waterpark is also joining the lineup, promising year-round waves of fun.
There are also other major tenants including Village Grocer for your essentials, Jungle Gym for the little ones, and a suite of sports facilities including Sport Planet, Playa Racquet Club for the ever-growing pickleball community, and the 91 Sports Arena.
Culture, too, is not forgotten. Ballet Theatre Malaysia — the nation’s first professional ballet company — will make its home here in a dedicated venue designed to host performances.
And because no visit to the mall is complete without a culinary stop, the eateries lineup reads like a passport so far. Expect La Boca’s vibrant Latin American fare, Luckin Coffee’s modern brews from China, Senkyaku Banrai’s immersive Japanese dining experience, and NomNom Food Hall’s various offerings.
When the curtains rise this November, Hextar World won’t just open its doors — it will open a new chapter for leisure, retail, and culture in Petaling Jaya, reshaping how Malaysians spend their days off.
