Horizon Village Outlets (HVO)

Another factory outlet in Malaysia called Horizon Village Outlets (HVO) Sepang, will be opening in mid-2018 at Sepang in Selangor.

This adds the number of factory outlets in Malaysia to six where the latest Genting Premium Outlets or GPO is scheduled to open in mid to late 2017.

Horizon Village Outlets Sepang

Horizon Village Outlets Malaysia will feature 150 retail lots in a luxurious European architecture open styled area of 400,00 square feet and is located about 10 kilometres north of KLIA and KLIA 2 in Sepang.

The massive factory outlet in Sepang is also being built in the Serenia City township by Sime Darby Group. The closest factory outlet in Sepang to Horizon Village Outlets is also Mitsui Outlet Park which is located along the way to the international airports.

This will be quite interesting as there will be two outlets in a 10-kilometre radius and will offer a good variety of choices to travellers and also local shoppers.

Currently, there are no super luxury brands mentioned but the international brands include;

Kate Spade

Victoria’s Secret

Artisan Village HVO

An Artisan Village will also be the highlight of HVO where they plan to showcase a variety of art, culture and design from all over Malaysia.

There will be Malaysian handicraft products and also Malaysian culinary delights that will be something different from the other factory outlets in Malaysia.

This unique Artisan Village project is steered to create a unique Malaysian experience, especially for foreigners or travellers visiting HVO.

Festival Village HVO

A food and beverage section called Festival Village will also be showcasing the unique culinary tastes of Malaysia. Restaurants and cafes serving Malaysian or fusioned-Malaysian foods will be the highlights here.

The Festival Village target is to provide a unique customer experience for shoppers who visit HVO, and most importantly, the Malaysian experience.

Architectural Design of Horizon Village Outlet

According to architects Adam & Associates, they are creating a unique experience for shoppers in the design of this factory outlet. They were quoted in a brochure stating;

Horizon Village Outlets (HVO) is designed to exceed customers’ expectations and deliver an unrivalled outlet shopping experience. The racetrack circulation design was specifically developed by the architects, Adam & Associates, and has been proven to encourage intuitive wayfinding by the shoppers.

It means that the visitor flow is maximised so that each and every shop will have excellent visibility and foot trac. HVO will have the benefit of seven entry points and a corridor width designed to optimize cross-corridor shopping.

When combined with the multiple access points and crosscorridor optimization, the racetrack design will maximise the exposure and convenience to the shoppers for all store locations.

Adding to the list of Factory Outlets in Malaysia, this will surely put Malaysia back on the tourism map as one country with multiple factory outlets.

Currently, Malaysia is aiming to hit a target of 31 million visitors for the year of 2017 and with the opening of these factory outlets, and also the right marketing strategy, it should not be a problem.

Genting Premium Outlets and Johor Premium Outlets are one of the strongest factory outlet brands that have been seeing a balanced turnout over the years while the others have been seeing more locals visiting them.

Conclusion

With Horizon Village Outlets opening in 2018, this will definitely provide travellers and those who enjoy shopping who are visiting Malaysia.

The shopping concept will also work well for those who are on their way to the airports after spending time visiting Malaysia.

As a traveller myself, I look forward to the opening of Horizon Village Outlets (HVO) in Sepang.
