The properties are located in the heart of the prime shopping destination in the country, the Bukit Bintang area, and also on the fringe of the Central Business District. According to CBRE, Jalan Bukit Bintang (or Bukit Bintang road) is Malaysia’s version of Singapore’s Orchard Road, Japan’s Ginza, New York’s Fifth Avenue and Hong Kong’s Central. Bukit Bintang has been a popular shopping and entertainment destination of Kuala Lumpur, both for the locals and tourists alike since the 50’s. Its catchment area spans the entire Klang Valley with a population of 6m. Pavilion KL Mall adds flavour to Bukit Bintang. Pavilion KL Mall complements the existing malls along Jalan Bukit Bintang which targets the mass markets, except Starhill Gallery. Nonetheless, there is minimal overlap with Starhill Gallery which has successfully positioned itself as a niche player offering primarily luxury watches (see map overleaf). In our view, Pavilion KL Mall is arguably the most successful mall in Bukit Bintang today. 19 January 2012 Page 2 of 42 Pavilion REIT Map 1: Pavilion KL adds to the attraction of Jalan Bukit Bintang (Bukit Bintang road) Pavilion KL Mall ROFR: Pavilion KL mall extension See Map 2 Starhill Farenheit Gallery 88 The Bukit Bintang area, that is increasingly popular Lot 10 among tourists and locals ROFR: farenheit88 BB Plaza Sungai Wang Plaza Low Yat Plaza Berjaya Times Square Sources: Google Map, Maybank IB; Denotes location of Pavilion KL mall extension Served by 32 3-5 Star rated hotels in the vicinity.
