#6 KK MALL – annual sales $302 million USD (2.03 billion RMB)

KK Mall, part of a 440 meter tower development in Shenzhen, is a vital luxury retail player

Opened in 2010, this 80,000 sqm mall uses a modern ambience to appeal to a growing young customer base, and features over 150 high-end international fashion brands, as well as upscale restaurants, and Shenzhen’s first IMAX theater.

The design features sweeping, curved skylights in metal cladding, inspired by the shape of a pair of swimming Koi, bringing fractured sunlight into the space to create the illusion of a glittering underwater scene. As much floor space as possible was left open to let in natural light and allow circulation between all five floors. Laguarda.Low’s artistic interior design for the retail podium is a fitting companion to the impressive tower that it announces.

According to KK Mall, 2018 annual sales reached an equivalent $302 million USD, which is an 11% sales increase compared to last year; and the operating income growth rate amounted to 9%. Annual traffic tracked 26 million people (including a successful meet-and-greet with Manchester soccer players, which attracted 2,000 people within the hour).
