During the 1990s, Bandar Sunway was being developed by the Sunway Group. It was later recognized as a tourism destination with recreations such as Sunway Lagoon, Sunway Pyramid and etc.

Tesco Supermarket commenced operations in Mutiara Damansara in 2003. This was quickly followed by the Ikano Power Centre in 2004 and the Curve in 2005. The Ikano Power Centre (now renamed as IPC Shopping Centre in 2011) houses South East Asia's largest IKEA Swedish furniture store. IKEA had previously operated at the nearby 1 Utama before the period. At about the same time, the 1 Utama new wing had commenced operations. By 2006, these establishments had synergised to make Bandar Utama and adjacent Mutiara Damansara to become very popular shopping destinations in the Klang Valley.

In 2004, Giant Mall commenced operations in Kelana Jaya. This complex houses the Giant Hypermarket and some shops to create a more shopping centre style, hence this is the reason why it is named. It is located and easily accessed off the Damansara-Puchong Expressway. Located nearby is the SStwo Mall which was opened at the end of December 2010
