Tropicana City under CapitalMalls Malaysia is planning to revamp the place in a major way. They intend to bring in stronger tenants and outside the mall they want to build up to house eateries (like the Paradigm concept where food outlet is outside the mall)

i think problem in many malls in damansara is not strength of tenants list but too many malls selling the same thing... Let's see how this turns out

Any progress on this mall to condo transformation?

That's rather true. Contractor just execute the work as per the drawings. Well, unless of course, the contractor executed it wrongly, different from the drawings, into that weird car park ramp...but that would be a major blunder which should be re-worked then again.

How is ss2 mall now? Never been there for like 2-3 years already

already tapao long time ago

The failure due to hidden and very inconvenient access .it can be successful if opening of direct highways access from Rothmans traffic lights to sprint highway by mbpj which overdue or should be open 30years ago as well planned in mbpj master plan.

Huh.. Means now it is just an empty building? All vacant?

Sad case

yeap.. empty building

THE near-empty SStwo Mall in Section 19, Petaling Jaya, is headed for redevelopment and a rebranding exercise.

Pramerica AsiaRetail general manager Andrew Neary said the mall will be significantly reduced in size and be much more community-based with emphasis on provision of local services and better food.

Pramerica AsiaRetail is an entity under AsiaMalls Sdn Bhd which owns the shopping center.

“Details have yet to be finalised but there will certainly still be a shopping centre here, it just will not be what it is like today,” he said.

Thanks.. Now got any progress on the redevelopment?

SStwo Mall up for sale

ASIAN Retail Mall Fund II (ARMF), which owns the SStwo Mall in Petaling Jaya, is believed to be seeking a buyer for the retail asset as an earlier plan to redevelop the site has been shelved.

The Edge understands that the vendor is hoping to seal a deal for around RM200 million. The owner may also be willing to do an asset/land swap with an interested party.

The neighbourhood shopping centre, operated by SStwo Mall Sdn Bhd, was shut down in March last year after operating for less than 4½ years. It was built at a cost of RM180 million.

Together with two other malls that the fund is looking to divest — Island Plaza in Penang for an estimated RM120 million and Seremban Prima (previously known as Seremban Parade) in Negeri Sembilan for RM150 million — its retail assets could fetch up to RM470 million.

Tenants of SStwo Mall were given notice to vacate the premises in late 2014, and the shopping centre was closed on March 31 last year. The tenants were told that a partial demolition of the retail structure had been planned and that the mall’s size would be reduced considerably. A serviced apartment block was to be built on top of the resized mall.

Located on a 7.8-acre site, SStwo Mall has a gross floor area of 700,000 sq ft and a net lettable area of 460,000 sq ft.

the mall won't work as it's located just adjacent to a low cost flat. Ss2 mall has a good concept but ultimately it is unable to maintain it's upscale concept. When your visitors are mostly foreign labours, you will have a hard time attracting locals who r willing to spend. No cinema, no good anchor tenant brings matter worse.

Parking design was a disaster.....imagine you have to go in to buy something, locatino is convenient but the thought of going up its parking just puts you off totally

It is cheaper to build car park on top of the mall than underground.

agree.. horrible parking design.. no anchor tenants, toilets are located at very deserted corners, confusing signages.. bye!

no more bye, its already gone.

I know they already gone long time ago..

No buyers
