This has also been planned taking into consideration that the retail mall will be situated on the busy highway and most people will see the front elevation of the mall from their moving vehicles. The façade elements include stone cladding, structural glazing, atrium skylight, ACP cladding, shop front glazing, curved entrance façade and glass railings.
