Pavilion REIT agreed to co-own and jointly develop the five-level mall at a mixed-use complex being developed by Malton Bhd.'s Pioneer Haven Sdn. Bhd.

The nondisclosure agreement, which also calls for the development of a two-level basement parking area, involves the commencement of a due diligence process and the finalization of the terms and conditions of the deal.

The retail property is provisionally called Pavilion Bukit Jalil, the Malaysian real estate company said in a filing.
