The concept isgeared around creating an environmentthat is comortable, proportional, warmand clean.

Bringing Setia City Mall to life

The interiors o Setia Mall will be in a

predominantly neutral palette, withfashes o energy and excitement at keyplaces such as lit lobbies and mainentrances. A subtle application o vibrantcolours and textures, along with thedeployment o 3D print technology, willensure the retailers o Setia City Mall arethe ocus, whilst the mall itsel will exudeits own distinctive personality.

A variant o earthly textured foors andthe addition o carpet in the entertainmentzone will create a warm and riendlyenvironment that will make shoppers eelboth welcome and comortable.

Construction Manager

Momentum on the construction o Setia

City Mall has really started to build in thelast ew months, especially as we hit ourstride on the main structure. We are nowright out o the ground and rapidly erectingthe retail mall. What this means or theteam is that the work is more repetitiveand predictable, especially as most o thework is on the upper levels. T hankully,rain is starting to have a lower impact onus. This is because we have entirelycovered the Lower Ground foor withconcrete, ensuring were out o the mud.

Our aim is to complete around 0.4Ha(1 acre) o foor area each week. That willmean that most o the building will becompleted by hal way through the year,with only the structure or Golden S creenCinemas continuing ater June.

We have ve tower cranes now in place,and two large and s everal smaller mobilecranes working on the job as well. We havealso now started work on the car parkstructure, which you will see taking shape

very shortly. At rst we plan to use thelower level o the car park as a supportarea or the construction o the retail mall,but will start on the upper levels o the carpark during April.

The increased pace o the structure

construction, plus the addition o masonry,mechanical and electrical teams means wenow have more than 600 workers on site.This team is currently doing about 50,000man hours per week; with the total hoursworked rapidly approaching the one millionmark.

I you drive past at night you will see usworking well into each evening. The scaleo the building is now really noticeable. You

only need to look at the photos and see justhow small a person is in some o the views.March is a very exciting time or us as westart on the structural steel or the rooand also take delivery o our frst escalators.
