Siam Future Development Plc (SF) expects
to have 500,000 square metres of gross space available for
leasing by 2013, more than double last year's total of 224,120 sq m in 29 community malls.
To this end, SF is opening two new
community malls this year. First will be the 240-million-baht
Festival Walk next to its existing Nawamin City Avenue.
Containing 8,000 sq m
of retail space, it will open next month.
As well, Mega Bang Na, which will feature
Ikea as the anchor store, will partially open in November, with full operation
by 2013.
SF expects the number of community malls
in Bangkok alone could reach 250 in the coming years.
