already tapao long time ago

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.

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.

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

I know they already gone long time ago..

the location itself is a major turndown to ppl, probably that's why no buyers till now..

as long as tropicana city mall is still near to this area.. the mall will never be success from what i think..

yes.. ss2 mall parking is really shit.. visited there before because of wedding dinner.. and my gosh the parking was DAMN NARROW and confusing..

Very less shops occupied and i already feel this mall will chaplap in a very short time..

oversupply of malls in PJ area.. guess glo mall will become another sstwo mall soon since ben's already moved out recently..

even 3 Damansara mall also jialat in addition to atria.. but still much better than the sibeh dead mall - Glo Mall

doesn't sounds right to build hotel at this place....

Long wait for new lease of life

TIRED of living next to an abandoned white elephant for the past four years, residents heaved a sigh of relief when it was reported that the SStwo Mall in Petaling Jaya had been bought over by the DK Group of Companies last year.
Residents were also happy that the developer had installed spotlights and put up hoardings around the abandoned building.

Six months have since passed and residents want to know what is next.
In September 2018, there were news reports DK Group was planning to build a 250-room hotel and serviced apartments.

The retail space – from its current net lettable area of 460,000 sq ft – would also be reduced to between 260,000 sq ft and 300,000 sq ft. The land area is 3.16ha.
Residents are eager for the building to be redeveloped as they fear the dilapidation will get worse the longer it is left vacant.
The last thing residents want is to be left with a monstrous eyesore that will affect the area’s property value.
They also fear the empty building will become a breeding ground for Aedes mosquitoes and a magnet for undesirable elements.
Residents living in Jalan SS2/72 and Jalan 19/30 said before the hoardings were erected, vandals who broke into empty shops to steal recyclable materials inadvertently preyed on nearby houses as well. They claim to have lost shoes and underclothes.
The empty building was also becoming a haunt for drug addicts.
