U will be surprised, not many local Malaysian like to stay around KLCC area.

KLEC is the huge shopping mall that matters.
KL Sentral, not many like to stay.
Tropicana Gardens, because surrounding by many rich people.

In fact, many Malaysian works in PJ & Subang area.

I went to check it out. First phase all sold out while 50% of second phase are sold out. I love the fact that it's just next to LDP and the Federal Highway - a super prime location! The unit I saw is about RM583K for 675sf, after discount. 2% down payment, DIBS, legal fees and stamp duty all borne by the developer, project completion estimated in June 2016. I'm considering of getting one unit..

Icon City is a huge mixed development, expected to be the next Mid Valley,One Utama. As Mah Sing is not known as a good mall operator,they are engaging support from Capital Mall

MS strategy is to generate maximum profit by fast turnover with average workmanship n jumping fast from 1 project to quickly to a new one if they can hit high sales n aggressively replenishing land bank

Nurturing, breast feeding n spoon feeding to develop n grow a mall seems to be not in line with the strategy

Agree or disagree?

street mall or street boulevard actually not easy to manage...really hard to see successful project....

just can give 2 examples successful project...1. Giza Sunway @ Kota Damansara, 2. The Street @ The Curve Damansara Mutiara...

Yes.. iSovo will be MSC status with 10 year tax free. One of the reason I bought a unit here for own use. 

Too many are driven by MS bad image and pre-judging on this project as a commercial failure from the beginning. But if one purely look at the fundamentals of what makes a good and viable project, primarily strategic location, visibility, high traffic area, great infrastruture, good accessablity and so on, this project cannot fail... but it does not mean that it will be a big success like Mid-Valley which require some good management. So in conclusion, this project will perform from average to good. But it will not be doom to failure!

Also to note publika took a long long time for business to pick up.

Sunway velocity much better thn icon. Next to mrt and ikea oso thr. Veri ong! Icon can onli prosper whn the mall is up and the ramp completed. Not sure whn goin to happen. :

And furthermore, it is all about location, PJ attracts MNCs, white color professional with/without family, the expats, etc. Is there any MNCs located in Cheras?

So? Yes, Bintang Bintang is a tourist area for shopping. What else? Is there any good and famous primary/secondary schools in Cheras? Colleges? Almost all the highly paid job opportunities are in PJ (besides in KL town). U don't buy RM 1k psf Velocity just bcos it's closed to Bukit Bintang right? Might as well consider that Gamuda project, walking distance to Alor street 

I'm talking about PJ vs Cheras, not Sunway vs MS.

IKEA? Can't even see its shadow yet.
Jusco? What's there to shout about?
TRX?? Joking meh! When do u think this mega project under the current gov be completed? 10 years? 20 years?

U are way too optimistic with all the future projects la. Name me what are the large multinational companies are based in Cheras? Highly paid professionals in KL got options to stay in Jalan Ampang, Tmn Desa, Seputeh, Bangsar, Setapak. Why must stay in Cheras?

I have 3 properties in PJ and all my tenants r white color prof from the MNC. From the way u comment, dun think u are those ppl who work in the MNC. Please continue to support Cheras.

at least Sunway Velocity got other catalyst like TRX, MRTs, HSR, Ikea-Ikano, Bandar Malaysia....

Icon wat catalyst they have?...even though located in PJ....but surrounded by factories n low cost residences...they need to work very hard to attract crowd ....crowd tat have spending power.... hope wont turn to second SS2 Mall...

they still haven't managed to show any good list of anchor tenants at this point right? that's already worrying. i remember ioi city during construction ady had a long list right?
