118 Mall, previously known as MERDEKA @ 118, is a seven-storey glass domed shopping mall located in the Merdeka 118 Precinct of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The name "118" was derived from the number of floors in the Merdeka 118 tower which has a total of 118 storeys. The mall is currently being developed and owned by PNB Merdeka Ventures Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB), which is also the developer for the Merdeka 118 tower. The mall is situated at the foot of the tower and will directly serve its precinct.

The mall opened to the public on 1 November 2026, 11.18 am (MST).

Background

The developer had awarded the contract to build a shopping complex as part of the Merdeka 118 development at the former site of Merdeka Park, which was the second oldest public park in Kuala Lumpur, to a joint-venture between WCT Holdings Berhad and TSR Capital Berhad. The mall is planned to be surrounded by 4-acre of greenery and a linear park namely, Merdeka Boulevard At 118, which will also connect the Maharajalela Monorail station and the mall. Construction works on the building as well as the shopping mall began in 2014 and opened on 1 November 2026.

Design
