M8 mall soft opens September

M8 mall is set to commence its soft opening in September, featuring international brands to cater to mid-to-high end of the market.

In an announcement yesterday, its anchor tenant, DFS, will offer over 120 curated local and international brands across watches, beauty and food and gifts, spanning three floors.

In the dining sector, M8 will introduce three unique restaurants making their Macau debut: Mango Tree from Thailand, Modern Shanghai Imperial from Hong Kong, and Terrace in Seaside from Incheon, Korea.

Additionally, M8 will host international fashion and European boutique brands.

The name “M8” holds profound significance. “M” symbolizes Macau, and “8” represents its location within 8% of Macau’s original land, surrounded by eight world heritage sites within a hundred-meter radius.

These sites include Senado Square, IAM Building, the Holy House of Mercy, the Cathedral, Cathedral Square, Lou Kau Mansion, St. Dominic’s Church and St. Dominic’s Square.

M8’s predecessor was the dormitory of Macau Post Office employees.

The redevelopment, designed by the Oval Partnership, draws inspiration from Macau’s historical culture, respecting the urban context and adopting a design approach that integrates Chinese and Portuguese elements.

Before its opening, M8 has already earned several international accolades including a Guinness World Record for the “Largest Curved Stone-Laminated Glass” and the Gold Award for “Best Retail Development (Asia)” at the 18th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards. LV
