Most visitors see Sunway Velocity as a busy mall and MRT hub — but this area has stories older than the skyscrapers.

From Old Maluri to City Life

Back in the 1970s and 80s, Maluri was a quiet suburb with:
    •    rows of simple terrace houses
    •    family-run sundry shops
    •    hawker stalls serving generations of locals

It was modest, calm, and mostly overlooked by city developers. Locals knew the best kopi spots, the hidden noodle stalls, and who ran the oldest stationery shop in town.

The Change That Brought Modern Life

In the 2010s, Sunway Group developed Sunway Velocity, bringing:
    •    a mall with local and international brands
    •    office towers and serviced residences
    •    direct access to MRT Maluri and Cochrane

The neighbourhood transformed almost overnight:
the old shophouses gained new life as cafés, modern restaurants, and boutique stores, while still keeping their classic charm.

A Unique Blend

Today, walking around Sunway Velocity and Maluri, you can see:
    •    sleek high-rise condos next to old terrace houses
    •    modern coffee shops inside decades-old buildings
    •    locals still selling traditional breakfast items just a block away from global chains

It’s a living example of KL’s ability to blend the old with the new, where history meets modern lifestyle seamlessly.
