Perspective
Originally known as Subang Jaya Shopping Centre,[1] Subang Parade was opened in August 1988 and was the longest mall in Southeast Asia when it first opened.[2][3] The inclusion of a mall came from Abd Aziz Mohamed who worked in Sime UEP. Subang Parade was originally owned by United Estates Projects Berhad and managed by Natvest, a subsidiary of Lion Group.[1] Collings Hui Sdn Bhd acted as its first marketing agent.[1]
Its first anchor tenant, Parkson Grand, opened in June 1988.[4] Its second tenant,[4] a 30,000 square feet (2,800 m2) Toys "R" Us outlet, operating as a joint venture with Metro Holdings of Singapore,[5] opened in November 1988, being the first Toys "R" Us in the country.[4] Frozen yoghurt chain J Highby's opened in the same month.[6]
A Grandy's outlet opened on 10 December 1988.[7]
In 2003, Subang Parade was sold to The Hektar Group before being resold into the Hektar REIT in 2006 and became one of its shopping centres alongside Kulim Central and Central Square in Kedah, Wetex Parade and Segamat Central in Johor, and Mahkota Parade in Malacca.[8]
Subang Parade has numerous facilities for fashion, food and also an arcade.[9][10] The mall previously had a cinema, the SMILE-UA Cineplex but was closed in 2001. After 10 years, the mall now had its own cinema again. MBO cinemas first opened in 2011.[11] Subang Parade underwent a facelift where it was refurbished in 2016.[9] The mall offers dedicated areas for reading.[12]
