but this setia mall more like 'integrated' with midvalley.......one of the top malls in the world....

lain cerita......

but over supplied of malls is really affected the biz.

US online retail purchases is at 10% or more.......
Malaysia online retail purchases is at 2%.........

Shoppers in Malaysia dont take LRT/MRT.

Mid Valley derives almost 90% of traffic crowd from Private Cars and the rest mostly on buses.

I use this LRT Line often and I dont use it for shopping or business purpose.

Transport pattern for KL will change... but it will take time, likewise our current LRT system took almost more than a decade to see a major jump in ridership.

Another thing even though ridership has increased, the demographics taking LRT/MRT hasn't change much. It's important to note also that KL's foreign population is abit different than other cities. The local high income earners** (>RM5k) are pretty much still on private cars, with many more private cars ownership causing more jams than ever. **Some exceptional cases do exist.

The recent newspapers did published several negative feedbacks on our current MRT1 which is suffering from a "very low" ridership, let's hope for better at Phase 2.

The same issue with KL Gateway where LRT is not contributing any shopping footfall, and when retail is subdued, the sentiment for offices and condo is subdued ontop of the current market situation.

Above all, right now is tenants/buyers market, so their demands, sometimes ridiculous, will dictate the market further.

whats is everyone's waiting list like for collecting keys. last i heard is end July ?? fully booked until then. is it true?

Viia is 2.5 years from now. Possible market recovering. Higher office take up rate. Definitely Bridge to MV is done and possible MRT circle line. Vogue Suite is now and NOW is so cloudy.. 😅

Those Super VIP got it very low price, think below $800/sqf. They are the 1st one to throw the price and it will snow balled when rental don't do well. Don't forget the place is isolated. Not much makan, no transport...

Below 800psf? Small units?
I need to see the spa to believe it...

quite disappointing lah. given all the hotels in MV record very high occupancy, don't tell me they cnt bring in a 5 star int'l operator? even i city can bring in doubletree by hilton.

when is the mall opening? tht could help with rental here.

Look 4 china hotel mgmnt co like wanda lo cheaper also! Tropicana engaged them 4 their langkawi hotel

Hotel operation is not profitable? Wat weed r u smoking?

They did open tender for Hotel Management, and few well known hotel management show interest. Submited their proposal.

But, SP Setia decided to manage it in house. Not feasable.

Too many player within 3km radius. From 3 to 5 star.

The Gardens.
Pullman Bangsar
Boulevard
Sheraton PJ
Hilton PJ
St Regis
KL Hilton
Le Meridian KL
VE Hotel
Capri

Ohhhh and AirBNB....

what they offering now as package? call them like dont want tell. Viia residence

within KL ECO City lah.......

Eco City is bad luck. Vped in the wrong time. Imagine Eco City Vped in 2009.....it will be a force to be reckon with. Bangsar South will play supporting role.

sell cheaper loh.....

you think b4 2010.....kul cant sell any condos meh......MK still BBB leh even then.

1800?! U know how much these owners paid?!!

Summore two cps....

Loweat rent 2cps ong location.....

Waterfiahes where are you?

Not really. More like they have to negotiate with both the MidValley management and some Chinese restaurant (could it be Madam Kwan?) occupying that space to relocate or sth.

KL ECO CITY MALL

today ^^

EASY WALKING DISTANCE VIA PEDESTRIAN LINK BRIDGE
The connecting factor between KL Eco City and The Gardens Mall, Mid Valley City is the specially designed and aesthetically pleasing pedestrian bridge. Distance from the LRT station to The Gardens is only 250m via the bridge and once open it shall connect conveniences and excitement between the two hot locales.

are you indicating Setia purplely saboh the collapsed bridge so that ECOCITY wont connect to MV?

IF the bridge hasn't be fallen down, it will have connected same time with ECOCITY vped jor.

If you are bizmen you wouldnt think like this.

There is always opportunities when commercial areas are enlarge.

Keep competing in isolation wouldnt be healthy.

Say for me, i rather go to pavillion klcc than mid valley bcos there is no lrt mrt or even monorail. But if lrt and walk bridge access opens you will see me more often in mid valley.

It is a win win. MV will have additional crowds from KLEC office  workers and LRT users

KLEC does not need to build amenities for their office tenants where the retail ecology is just next door.

For me, they complement each other.
