MYDIN To Become KITA @ Cybersouth’s First Supermarket
LBS Bina Group Bhd has formalised a tenancy agreement with Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd for MYDIN to establish what the developer describes as the first supermarket within KITA @ Cybersouth in Dengkil, Selangor.
The supermarket is planned on approximately 1.37 acres of land and will have a built-up area of about 24,000 sq ft.
The tenancy agreement was formalised on Sept 5 at the LBS Discovery Gallery at KITA @ Cybersouth.
For the township, the importance of the agreement is straightforward: it adds a daily-needs retail anchor to a large residential development that is moving gradually from housing delivery into a more complete township phase.
LBS has not disclosed the supermarket’s expected opening date, tenancy period or rental terms.
A Practical Amenity For A Growing Resident Base
KITA @ Cybersouth spans approximately 633 acres of Malay Reserved Land and has around 16,000 planned residential units.
According to LBS, nearly 40% of those homes have been completed, another 5% are under development and the remaining 55% are still in planning.
That means the township is substantial, but still in the middle of its overall build-out.
The arrival of a supermarket therefore comes at an important stage.
Early township development is often dominated by residential construction, while residents continue to drive outside the neighbourhood for groceries, dining and daily services.
Adding a supermarket can reduce some of that dependence and make the township more functional for existing households.
MYDIN Targets An Expanding Young-Family Catchment
LBS estimates KITA @ Cybersouth’s population catchment at around 67,000 people.
The company also said approximately 63% of its purchasers are aged 40 and below.
That demographic profile helps explain why a value-oriented supermarket operator such as MYDIN may see potential in the location.
Younger households and families typically generate regular demand for groceries, household products, school-related purchases and everyday necessities.
MYDIN managing director Datuk Wira Dr Ameer Ali Mydin said the retailer’s decision reflected confidence in Cybersouth’s growth potential and expanding resident population, particularly young families.
That should be understood as the retailer’s commercial assessment rather than a guarantee of future retail performance.
24,000 Sq Ft Is A Neighbourhood-Scale Anchor
At approximately 24,000 sq ft, the planned outlet is sizeable enough to function as a meaningful neighbourhood supermarket without being a very large hypermarket-format destination.
That distinction suits the current stage of KITA @ Cybersouth.
A neighbourhood supermarket can support frequent local visits rather than relying on shoppers travelling from across the wider Klang Valley.
For residents, that is likely to be more useful than a large destination mall at this point in the township’s development.
The value is convenience: groceries and household essentials become easier to access within the township itself.
MYDIN Will Complement KITA Avenue Square
LBS said the supermarket will complement KITA Avenue Square, where commercial shoplots are currently under construction.
Those shoplots are priced from RM1.399 million.
The presence of a supermarket can improve the commercial proposition of nearby retail units by generating more regular activity within the area.
A grocery anchor creates repeat visits because customers may return weekly or several times a week.
That can potentially support complementary uses such as food and beverage, pharmacies, clinics, services and convenience retail.
However, this should not be treated as automatic proof that every shoplot will achieve stronger rental or resale values.
Commercial performance will still depend on frontage, access, parking, tenant mix and the speed at which the surrounding residential population grows.
Retail Is An Important Part Of Township Maturity
KITA @ Cybersouth is moving through a familiar township-development cycle.
The first stage is usually housing.
The next stage is creating enough retail and service infrastructure so residents can meet more of their daily needs locally.
A supermarket is one of the most important pieces of that transition.
Its arrival can improve convenience and make the township feel less dependent on neighbouring areas.
For future buyers, an operating supermarket is also easier to evaluate than a retail component shown only in a masterplan.
The real impact will become clearer once the MYDIN opening date and surrounding commercial delivery schedule are confirmed.
The 633-Acre Scale Gives Retail Time To Grow
Because KITA @ Cybersouth covers 633 acres and still has more than half of its planned homes at planning stage, the resident catchment can continue expanding over several years.
That provides potential long-term demand for the supermarket and surrounding commercial space.
But it also means the commercial environment may not mature immediately.
Retail operators entering early may need to build their customer base gradually as more phases are completed and occupied.
For shoplot investors, this is particularly relevant.
A township can have a strong eventual population while still experiencing slower retail activity during earlier phases.
Timing matters as much as total planned population.
KITA @ Cybersouth Is Building A More Complete Daily-Living Proposition
The supermarket agreement strengthens the township’s owner-occupier proposition.
For families, proximity to groceries and daily services can be more meaningful than large lifestyle facilities that are used only occasionally.
Residents may still travel outside Cybersouth for work, education, healthcare or entertainment, but reducing the number of routine trips helps improve day-to-day convenience.
This is especially relevant in newer suburban locations where public transport and mature commercial infrastructure may still be developing.
The more self-sufficient KITA @ Cybersouth becomes, the stronger its appeal can be to households that prioritise practicality over city-centre proximity.
What Commercial Buyers Should Watch
The first issue is the actual MYDIN opening timeline.
No date has been disclosed yet.
The second is the physical relationship between the supermarket and KITA Avenue Square.
Pedestrian access, parking and visibility will influence how effectively supermarket traffic flows towards surrounding shops.
The third is the pace of residential occupation.
A planned 67,000-person catchment is meaningful, but actual spending power depends on how many residents are already living in the township.
The fourth is tenant mix.
If the surrounding commercial component fills with complementary businesses, the area can become a stronger neighbourhood centre.
If too many similar operators enter, internal competition may weaken performance.
No Tenancy Details Have Been Disclosed
LBS has not revealed MYDIN’s lease duration or rental terms.
That means the agreement confirms the retailer’s commitment to the location, but does not yet provide enough information to assess the commercial value of the tenancy to LBS.
The store’s exact development and opening schedule also remains unknown.
For now, the clearest conclusion is that a major supermarket operator has committed to KITA @ Cybersouth, giving the township a defined retail anchor as more homes are delivered.
Conclusion: MYDIN Adds A Key Everyday Amenity To KITA @ Cybersouth
MYDIN’s planned 24,000 sq ft supermarket is an important practical addition to KITA @ Cybersouth.
As the township’s first supermarket, it addresses a basic requirement for a growing residential community and adds a repeat-visit retail anchor alongside the upcoming KITA Avenue Square.
With around 16,000 homes planned and LBS estimating a 67,000-person catchment, the long-term customer base could become substantial.
The immediate property significance, however, is not that MYDIN will automatically increase surrounding values.
It is that KITA @ Cybersouth is moving one step further from a housing-led development towards a more complete township where residents can access everyday essentials closer to home.
The next indicators to watch are MYDIN’s opening date, the pace of residential occupation and how the surrounding shoplots perform as the township’s commercial ecosystem develops.
