IPC Shopping Centre

IPC Shopping Centre is a shopping centre in Mutiara Damansara, Selangor, Malaysia. The mall is anchored by IKEA and is located near The Curve, forming part of a major retail and commercial area in the Petaling Jaya region. It opened on 18 December 2003 under the name Ikano Power Centre, reflecting its original Ikano branding. The centre subsequently adopted the IPC Shopping Centre name following a substantial refurbishment programme. The mall occupies five floors and combines a large anchor retailer with other shopping, household, service, and dining uses. IKEA is its principal destination and remained open during the centre’s major renovation. Harvey Norman was also specifically reported as remaining in operation while many other tenants were temporarily relocated or moved out during the works. IPC began its first major renovation in March 2017, timed around the centre’s fifteenth anniversary. The project covered the shopping centre as a whole, including refurbishment of the external facade. The mall continued operating during construction, and its parking capacity was not changed. The renovation was completed on 29 January 2018, after which the refurbished centre was presented under the IPC Shopping Centre identity; reference material describes it as reopening in November 2017, although the completion date is separately given as 29 January 2018. The centre is accessible by road through the Damansara–Puchong Expressway and the Sprint Expressway’s Penchala Link. It is also served by Mutiara Damansara MRT station. Its location, IKEA anchor, and relationship with the surrounding Mutiara Damansara retail cluster are central to its role in the Malaysian shopping-centre market. Publicly available reference material identifies the centre’s location, opening, former name, anchor tenant, and renovation history, but does not establish a current owner, operating company, executive team, financial performance, or listed-company status.

IPC Shopping Centre opened on 18 December 2003 in Mutiara Damansara, Selangor, as Ikano Power Centre. It was established as a large-format shopping centre anchored by IKEA and positioned close to The Curve within the Mutiara Damansara retail district. The original name reflected the Ikano identity associated with the centre at launch. The centre has five floors and serves as a combination of destination retail, household shopping, dining, and services. IKEA has been its principal anchor. Harvey Norman is also identified in the available reference material as a tenant that remained open during the centre’s later refurbishment. The mall’s location gives it access to the surrounding Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur urban area, with road connections through the Damansara–Puchong Expressway and the Sprint Expressway’s Penchala Link. In March 2017, IPC began its first major renovation, timed to coincide with its fifteenth anniversary. The programme covered the entire shopping centre and included refurbishment of the facade. Although the works affected tenants, the mall continued to operate and parking spaces were retained. Most tenants, other than IKEA and Harvey Norman, were temporarily relocated or moved out during parts of the construction period. The renovated centre was presented under the IPC Shopping Centre identity. Reference material describes the post-renovation opening as taking place in November 2017, while also recording 29 January 2018 as the completion date for the renovation. The available sources therefore support the conclusion that the centre transitioned from the Ikano Power Centre name during or around this refurbishment period, but do not provide a detailed account of the exact branding sequence. IPC Shopping Centre remains an active Malaysian shopping-centre destination. It is served by Mutiara Damansara MRT station and by the surrounding expressway network. Public reference material does not provide verified information about its current owner, operating company, management personnel, financial results, or corporate listing.
