KUALA LUMPUR: LifeCare Property (SS2) Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of private medical care operator LifeCare Diagnostic Medical Centre, has bought SS2 mall in Petaling Jaya from DK-MY Properties Sdn Bhd.
LifeCare, in a joint statement recently, said the mall would be revitalised into Malaysia's first one-stop healthcare lifestyle mall.
"The mall is set to provide professional and affordable medical solutions for everyone and will house more than a dozen specialties and first of its kind facilities in the country, such as a Urology and Nephrology Hospital.
"This is in addition to the holistic healthcare services including primary and specialist care," it said in a statement.
LifeCare said refurbishment works were being carried out for the upcoming mall.
It is expected to open its doors to serve the community by mid-2021.
"The fully operational LifeCare DK mall is projected to house a Urology and Nephrology Hospital with 20-bedded wards, operating theatres with the latest equipment, a rehabilitation and physiotherapy hub, aged care centre and advanced diagnostic imaging department," it said.
There are plans to engage vendors to occupy retail lots within the mall to offer complementary products and services to customers, such as traditional Chinese medicine and chiropractic services.
LifeCare managing direcror Dr Ong Kee Liang said the company was bringing the forefront of medicine into the local and global community.
"This mall is part of our healthcare mission to provide greater healthcare options and make the process of seeking medical treatment more accessible," he said.
The concept of the new mall is designed with the community as the utmost priority in mind.
Meanwhile, DK-MY Properties said it aims to introduce two residential blocks in conjunction with the launch of LifeCare DK Mall.
DK-MY Properties will develop senior housing community models which offer independent living, assisted living and memory care to improve connections between generations and create a harmonious living environment.
"Being people-centric is our philosophy that we carry forward into our developments," said DK Properties managing director Danny Koek.
"Within DK-MY Properties, we practice a people-centered approach and implement this throughout the organisation.
"As such, we have applied this value into our existing and future developments as well", he added.
