90 pct occupancy for KL Eco City Mall by Q1 2018
Malls are facing difficulties? I think some are really in trouble. It’s hard to come back, usually after it starts to fail. You visit a mall where 50 percent of the shops are closed, would you visit the same mall again? The toughest part is that you will tell your friends about it and they do…

What if the stats are wrong? Look at actual signs then.
A very prominent and capable friend who has opportunity to buy properties all over the world shared this point with me this evening. Personally, I would have bought properties in all those places that I would need to stay for a while, say couple of months per year. He asked, “What if the stats provided…

BBCC : Construction work started, 2021 for mall.
Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC) is definitely a huge development within a hot location. Okay, it was a former prison ground. That’s going to be the past and when it’s completed, after a while, the newer generation would not even remember or note that it was formerly a prison. BBCC has a gross development value of…

KL Gateway Mall with 1,238 automated parking bays!
In my previous company, I used to travel to Bangsar South for meetings, at least on a monthly basis. I was still based in Penang then. I think Bangsar South is a good area. There’s MidValley megamall just minutes away (though finding parking during lunch time is not so easy). Else, there are also may…

Quill City Mall? Create more attractions, waiting for more condos.
Let me share three things about Quill City Mall. I visit this mall at least once a week as it is within walking distance from where I work. Secondly, my colleagues predicted this mall would have closed down within a year of opening. (They still think it will close down even though it has been…

Opening in time for Christmas – Sunway Velocity Mall.
My personal belief for malls in the Klang Valley is this. The more the merrier because the good ones will prosper and the not so good ones would have to buck up or fade away. Just look at that few popular ones and we would understand that newer but less impressive malls will not be…
