Incidents

On 30 May 2017, a fire broke out on Megamall's lower ground floor at 8:20 pm local time. The Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department managed to put it out by 8:52 pm. A subsequent investigation traced the cause of the fire to a faulty facsimile machine. [6] [7]

On 17 May 2023, fire broke out at the mall. The fire started from the TNB substation plant but was brought down by the firefighters in less than an hour. The incident was believed to be caused by an overheating cooling oil within the TNB substation. [8]

It comprises a shopping mall, an office tower block, 30 offices, and three hotels. A second mall, The Gardens Mall, is adjacent to the Megamall. The mall has 4,500,000 sq ft (420,000 m2) of total floor area, out of which 1,700,000 sq ft (160,000 m2) is leasable space. This whole area is sometimes referred to Mid Valley City. [9]

Sister mall

Mid Valley Southkey

The Mall Mid Valley Southkey, located in Johor Bahru, Johor, is the second Mid Valley branded shopping centre and opened on 23 April 2019. The mall is anchored by GSC Cinemas, SOGO, Popular Bookstore, Nitori, Sports Direct, Harvey Norman and Village Grocer. [10]

Transportation

Train

The mall is connected to the  KB01  Mid Valley Station of Keretapi Tanah Melayu.

The mall is also located within walking distance from the  KD01  KJ17  Abdullah Hukum station. However, for many years, there was no proper connection between the station and the mall. With the completion of the Abdullah Hukum KTM Komuter station, a dedicated pedestrian bridge has been constructed to link The Gardens Mall and the station through KL Eco City.

Bus

Free shuttle bus service provided by the mall is available to and from  KJ16  Bank Rakyat-Bangsar LRT station, as well as Rapid KL Bus T788 which travels to and from the  KJ19  KL Gateway–Universiti station and MRT feeder bus T817 which travels to and from the  SBK13  Pavilion Damansara Heights–Pusat Bandar Damansara station.
