Old video, but unfortunately it's not any better now. Whoever said that this mall is picking up hasn't been there.
This mall needs to close, rebrand and open with new management. As it is now it will never ever prosper.

5 years ago Avenue K was completely dead as well, at least now they have picked up a bit. And getting some good tenants like H&M, sushi zanmai, etc.

Scott Garden successfully attracting the night crowd but I wouldn't compare SG with other malls like Tropicana/1U/MV/Paradigm/etc. SG never felt like a place where people would go for jalan-jalan (similar to Jaya1 feeling).

On the new malls side I'm skeptic towards Nexus Bangsar South. Just can't see why anyone would wanna drive there willingly unless they were already in the area. And that would be like Mid Valley only had to rely on The Gardens residents and hotel guests.

Yup and there is a reason why you will not get easy parking in Mid Valley and always can get one @ Nexus or SS2 Mall and similar.

Why would I wanna go to Nexus? Give me one good reason why to drive to that area solely for going to that mall, OK if I stay or work there then I could walk there since it's nearby. But for outsiders to go there solely for going to that mall? To visit starbucks because the queue at that starbucks is the shortest in KL?

So I say that unless the population there is dense enough to support the mall on it's own, malls like that are doomed from the start.

If it is true what someone wrote earlier in this thread that SS2 Mall might be demolished and rebuilt as serviced apartment I'm sure that it will be a success. It will be sold out in no time at all.

As for Nexus mall let's see how many shops can survive there. I can already see it in front of me now: "Something exciting opening here soon" banners in a lot of the shop lots

By the way I hope I'm wrong because otherwise it's such a waste with all these malls popping up everywhere and then not used.

That's already how they "solved" the problem at Scott Garden. Cannot use the same method everywhere

Any progress on this mall to condo transformation?
