Suria Sabah Shopping Mall, or Suria KK as it’s sometimes referred to, has nothing to do with the famous, splendidly built and always busy SURIA KLCC in Kuala Lumpur.
Suria Sabah is a 1-year old shopping centre in the middle of Kota Kinabalu, which is surprisingly sparsely occupied considering it’s location and how old it is.
A hand full of fast food eateries are tucked away in a quiet corner in the basement, a Metro Jaya is one of the anchor tenants and spans several floors, while numerous other shops sell either beauty products or clothing and are randomly dotted throughout the rest of the stark interior of Suria Sabah.
The Times bookstore is not to be forgotten, nor is GSC Cinemas, the reason why the shopping centre’s visitor rate recently spiked. GSC Suria brought 8 new screens to Kota Kinabalu, one of which is 3D ready and pushes KK into modern movie experience realm.
Suria Sabah is another one of Kota Kinabalu’s many shopping centres which have great potential; and only time will tell if that potential is to be realised.
