“Retail therapy anyone?” I ask. Jaya One stands before us a hub of activity. It is more than just a mall. It’s a mixed-use development in Petaling Jaya.
Jaya One’s story began with Tetap Tiara Sdn Bhd. They envisioned a revitalized Section 13. Their goal was to create a new commercial center. This center would offer retail, entertainment and dining experiences.
In 2008, Jaya One opened its doors. The first phase was Palm Square. It quickly became a popular destination. In 2013, Jaya One expanded. The School opened as Malaysia’s first child enrichment mall. Palm Square closed in March 2018. It reopened as The Square. The aim was to further enhance the mall.
Today Jaya One houses diverse establishments. You can find restaurants, bars and shops here. Educational institutions thrive within its walls. PJ Live Arts is a 300-seat community theatre. It offers entertainment for all. Jaya One also caters to daily needs. There is Cold Storage and Guardian. Service retail outlets provide convenience. These include Pos Malaysia, laundry and a DIY shop.
Jaya One offers a wide range of amenities. You will find a fitness center and yoga studio here. A medical clinic is available. A supermarket caters to your grocery needs. It truly is a one-stop destination.
Accessibility is a key feature of Jaya One. It has dual access from Jalan Universiti and Jalan 13/6. The location is strategic. It is easily reachable via Federal Highway, LDP or Lebuhraya SPRINT. Public transportation is convenient. The Asia Jaya Putra LRT station is nearby. Rapid KL buses connect to Jaya One.
Jaya One hosts a weekly farmers’ market. Local farmers showcase their products. It’s a great way to connect with the community. It is a hub for business and entrepreneurship.
