Jaya One

Jaya One is a neighbourhood shopping and lifestyle mall in Section 13, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Developed and owned by Tetap Tiara Sdn Bhd, the complex first opened in 2008 with Phase 1, known as Palm Square or The Palm. Rather than operating solely as a conventional retail centre, Jaya One developed a mixed-use community format combining food and beverage outlets, everyday services, leisure facilities, offices, social organisations, entertainment and spaces intended for emerging businesses. The property has been reshaped several times. In 2013, it added The School, described in reference material as Malaysia's first child-enrichment mall. The School broadened Jaya One's role beyond shopping by providing a location for enrichment, family-oriented activities and related services. Palm Square subsequently closed in March 2018 and was reopened as The Square, a redevelopment intended to extend and refresh the mall's commercial offer. In July 2020, after the departure of the former Cold Storage anchor, an AEON BIG hypermarket described as the first hybrid format of its kind was opened at The School. Jaya One's tenant and facility mix includes the AEON BIG hypermarket, BUMP Bouldering, Celebrity Fitness, Mr DIY, NOKO and Common Ground. Other listed occupants and venues include Guardian, Ippudo, Apple Samgyupsal, GO Noodle House, Nando's, OldTown White Coffee, Subway and Starbucks. The complex also accommodates Pop The Arcade, identified in reference material as Malaysia's first pop-up retail space for startups, and PJ Live Arts, an independent theatre associated with family and comedy programming. Its community-oriented role is reinforced by the presence of the Kechara Food Bank and Parents Without Partners, as well as offices and businesses covering sectors such as banking, property and architecture. The mall also uses part of its space for Friday-evening roller skating. Jaya One is currently organised into three principal areas: The Square, The School and the Retail Linkway. Its positioning is therefore that of a local, experience-led commercial destination serving residents and visitors in Petaling Jaya, with retail, dining, family activities, fitness, entertainment, workspaces and community services in one property.

Jaya One is a neighbourhood shopping mall in Section 13, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. The property was developed and owned by Tetap Tiara Sdn Bhd and began operations in 2008. Its initial phase was Palm Square, also known as The Palm, which established the site as a local retail and commercial destination. The mall expanded in 2013 with the opening of The School. This component was positioned around child enrichment and family services and was described in reference material as Malaysia's first child-enrichment mall. The addition gave Jaya One a more specialised identity than a conventional shopping centre, adding family-focused activities to its retail, dining and service functions. A further change took place in 2018. Palm Square closed in March and was subsequently reopened as The Square. The renamed and refreshed area formed part of Jaya One's continuing effort to develop its commercial space and broaden the experience available to visitors. The complex is now described as comprising The Square, The School and the Retail Linkway. Jaya One's tenant mix covers daily-needs retail, food and beverage, leisure, fitness and business services. Listed anchor or major occupants include AEON BIG, BUMP Bouldering, Celebrity Fitness, Mr DIY, NOKO and Common Ground. The property also includes Guardian, Ippudo, Apple Samgyupsal, GO Noodle House, Nando's, OldTown White Coffee, Subway and Starbucks. These occupants give the mall a combination of supermarket shopping, restaurants, specialist retail and recreational activity. The property also supports cultural and entrepreneurial uses. PJ Live Arts operates as an independent theatre associated with family and comedy shows, while Pop The Arcade provides a pop-up retail venue for startups and is described in reference material as the first space of its kind in Malaysia. Jaya One additionally houses the Kechara Food Bank and Parents Without Partners, together with offices and businesses from fields including banking, property and architecture. Friday-evening roller skating is another activity held within the complex. In July 2020, AEON BIG opened at The School after the previous Cold Storage anchor tenant closed. The new hypermarket was described as the first hybrid AEON BIG format. This change illustrates the mall's continuing adaptation of its anchor offer while retaining the broader mix of family, community, leisure and retail uses. Jaya One's development history consequently reflects a progression from a conventional neighbourhood mall toward a mixed-use lifestyle and community destination serving Petaling Jaya.
