I'm a local not too far away so I know this place. SS2 Mall is located just few steps from the famous NEW PARIS Restaurant. PJ people will have to know it.

Lowyat@NET PropertyTalk 1st Gathering was held at Oldtown SS2 Mall back a few months ago.

1. I admit the location is quite "bad" as it is not visible from LDP and you have to through the SS2 housing area (passing SRK Taman Sea).
2. Tropicana City is just a short distance away, and it is a "real" mall.
3. Poor tenants composition and most of its current tenants do not attract crowd.
4. No anchor tenants, besides a wedding Chinese Restaurant and an electronics store chain by the name of TBM (who has heard of it?).
5. There'll be a grocery store soon, but never heard before.
6. SS2 is a senior citizen area, and you don't expect seniors to dine at those expensive kopitiams like Kiliney, Belanga, Secret Recipe, etc.
7. The shopping mall is badly designed especially the carpark, foyer area connecting the carpark to the floorway.
8. No cinema, no gym, no pubs/clubs, no banks, no supermarket, there's no MPH or Borders but a small TIMES, no WOW.

Actually those who are saying that Atria is not doing so good..

it's because the residents around the area DON'T WANT it to be doing good.. there was this proposal to redevelop it to a 6 story office cum shopping mall but it was rejected heavily by the residents nearby. They prefer it with the way it is now.

SS2 mall..... i feel that it will fail too but let's see how it goes..and yes.. having a strong anchor tenant would certainly help a lot..

At every Residents Meeting, the talk of town is to protest the redevelopment of Atria.

Anyway the latest I heard is the developer will still go ahead with redevelopment plans but on a smaller scale. The hawker centre next to Lotus/Koon Kee/Magic Wok will also be redeveloped.

Previous rendering looks like this:

Atria Shopping Gallery. The former Atria Shopping Centre in Damansara Jaya.

A major cineplex operator is in talks. I believe the upcoming shopping centre will be pretty chic and trendy in terms of offerings.

Nearby upcoming malls:

- Atria Shopping Gallery
- Uptown Shopping Mall
- Glomac Damansara Mall

- Empire City Thematic Malls
- Empire Damansara Retail Centre

- Nucleus Shopping Centre, Mutiara Damansara

- The Strand Mall Kota Damansara (opening end of 2013)
- Tropicana Gardens Shopping Mall
- Sunway Nexis Retail Shoppes
- Avenue Street Mall by Mah Sing (abit far off but targets KD market)

- I believe there'll be a mall mixed dev next to Cascades KD/Encorp Garden Office (vacant land)

- Jaya Shopping Gallery (managed by Mapletree, same as Vivocity Singapore)
- Pacific Star Retail Mall, Sec. 13 PJ
- A mall for F&N City Sec. 13 PJ
- The extension of Jaya 33 (opening soon with first Kampachi Restaurant in PJ)

- Plaza Kelana Jaya P4 Shopping Centre (vacant land)
- A large-mall for Icon City PJ
