Set to be the Pulse of Damansara, the destination marked this milestone with a vibrant showcase of cultural performances, interactive activities and family-friendly entertainment that invited visitors to explore, discover and celebrate together.

The highlight of the day was the reveal of High Street, Hextar World’s enclosed lifestyle promenade, which was brought to life with movement, music and colour as visitors experienced the space for the first time.

“We are creating a destination that feels alive and connected, where culture, creativity and community can grow together. Today’s celebration is only the beginning,” he remarked.

“As we move toward our next milestone in 2026, our commitment is to build a place that inspires connection, supports families and offers something new with every visit.”
