MELAKA, 24 June 2022 – Melaka Trade Square (Metrasquare), a commercial hub located at Ayer Keroh is steadfast in becoming a popular destination for commercial, work, entertainment and arts with the opening of three new outlets.

“These new additions reflect our commitment to strengthen the State of Melaka in terms of economic standpoint, providing job opportunities as well as encouraging local entrepreneurship.”
“In addition, it is an example of yet another successful turnaround and revitalisation of what was previously an abandoned development into a commercially viable economic contributor,” Dato’ Leong added.
Metrasquare was an abandoned project under Plentifield Marketing, which Sheng Tai International took over in 2017 in order to develop Metrasquare further. However, the previous developer abandoned the development when it was half completed.
Sheng Tai International came in and revitalised the project, from settling all the bad debts and Guaranteed Rental Return (GRR) scheme of the initial investors to restrategising the masterplan Metrasquare.
Today, Metrasquare is a 6-acre commercial development comprising a Serviced Suites, a three-star premium hotel called Hotel Metrasquare, as well as retail lots, meeting and conference facilities, F&B amenities, as well as Melaka historical gallery and art social space. here is also a five-star hotel – Ames Hotel, highly rated on global travel platforms.
