"Lot 10 is re-conceptualised as a social destination of choice where people meet and connect, where customers not only shop and eat, but also play, and where all under our roof will feel the spirit of love. The reimagine Lot 10 is built upon the key pillars of Youhful, Fun, Creative and Connected. Our Youthful spirit aims to excite and inspire customers in a trendy environment, and we collaborate with tenants, partners, and visitors to amplify the Fun at Lot 10 in a holistic way, We embrace and foster everything with Creativity to shape unique and memorable retail experiences for all. Ultimately, we aim for Lot 10 to keep every Connected through our inclusive social space that celebrates diversity and encourage all to meet, gather and connect," said Joseph Yeoh, Vice President of YTL Land.

"Since we have embarked on our renovation over a year ago, much of the new hardware enhancements have been completed. We are thrilled numerous new tenants have joined us including the first offline Reebonz store in Malaysia, J's Gate Dining with its cluster of 18 authentic Japanese eateries, Tokyo Candy Factory, Molten Chocolate and our latest Sennheiser pop-up store. Today, a mall must go beyond hardware and retail mix to offer differentiated experiences to attract shoppers, especially when online shopping is fast changing the retail landscape. A mall must incorporate value-added lifestyle elements such as arts, culture and entertainment that are not found in online shopping. We must give shoppers a hand in shaping their own authentic experiences to stay relevant in their social media space," Joseph added.
