About 1st Avenue Penang

1st Avenue Penang Shopping Complex is an eleven-storey upmarket shopping mall under construction in George Town. It is bordered by Magazine Road, Lebuh Lintang, Tek Soon Street and Carnarvon Street. The mall, which is Phase 3 of Komtar, occupies a 10,126 square meter plot and will have a total built-up area of over 40,000 square meters. Formerly known as Mutiara Parade (or Lion Mutiara Parade, and briefly Paragon Penang), the mall was renamed in November 2008. At the initial time of writing, April 2009, no anchor tenant has yet been announced for 1st Avenue Penang. On November 3, 2009, Parkson signed in as anchor tenant in a ceremony officiated by the Rt. Hon. Lim Guan Eng, chief minister of Penang.

1st Avenue Penang is managed by Pramerica Real Estate Investors (Asia) through its Asian Retail Mall Fund (ARMF). It is one of two malls in Penang under ARMF, the other being Island Plaza. It is a joint development of ARMF with Belleview Group and The Lion Group.
