Between 1998 and 2003, Subang Parade was managed by The Lion Group. In 2003, Subang Parade was sold to The Hektar Group before being sold into the Hektar REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust). The shopping centre consists of 1 level of service tunnel which spans the whole length of shopping centre. Above that is a basement carpark. The retail floors consist of a Lower Ground, Ground and First Floor. The unique aspect of the shopping centre is the interior layout. It was designed to have a good visibility of all tenants within the shopping centre.
In the early 1990s, it was well recognized as one of the longest shopping malls in Malaysia. Currently, it no longer holds this title.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
