To be honest, this area is a bit run down with a lot of old houses and there is a wet market nearby. Roads are narrow and the area are mostly occupied by middle to lower class people. However, few developers (Mah Sing & LYL) are building some high end bungalows (few millions) in the smaller parcel of land located nearby the forest reserve. The main road from the PGA (Pasukan Gerakan Am) is currently being upgraded to 4 lane (two way) all the way until the Hijauan Residence (G&G project by Mah Sing).

The infrastructure in this place is getting better and I would say that this location is quite strategic as it is consider quite close to KL (toll free). In fact it takes only about 10 minutes to reach Midvalley using East-West link (if no jam). More developments are coming in and also there will be MRT line in the future (keep finger crossed).

But I'm a bit sceptic about this development due to the fact that this is in Cheras. Most upgraders from outstation would normally go for other more renowned area like puchong, kinrara, bukit jalil, pj, damansara and etc....I see that most of the house buyers in Cheras are mostly upgrader from Cheras itself. 

Anyway, the above are just my 2 cents....

Any other opinions are most welcome...

Looking at this positively, i am happy to see more modern development coming into Cheras which has a reputation of being a matured and old neighbourhood. Perhaps Cheras will slowly shed its erm...'stigma' and turn into a more glamorous location for investors hehe 

Anybody has info on the shop lots under You Vista? Are they being sold or managed by PJD itself?

Ahken gor, are you saying that the upcoming You Festival Walk shops will also be sold off to individual buyers?

The success of the mall is critical for the project. I agree with you that we need to protect the image. Especially with competition from upcoming malls in Eko business park, cheras sentral and existing leisure mall.

Cheras folks will be spoilt for choices, so they need some USPs to bring the crowds in.  Bring in a team of professional to manage properly if they lack expertise.

I am no FS expert but I do share the same observation with you on the 'wong'ness. Coincidentally, I visited Cheers Palace this morning and was informed that they will not be renewing their contract once it's up next year (whether it's related to 'white tiger' or not, I dunno LOL). Why your dislike for the name Festival Walk instead of Mall, mind to share?

Anyway, hope PJD will do better in terms of management this time around. Any info when this will be launched?

Ahh...that explains why they have to move out.

Out of all the Walk Walk Walk, i have to disagree with you on Wangsa Walk because I stay nearby and every night also full of cars inside the parking and along the main road. Even Justin Bieber curi curi go and visit this Walk hehe

Hope they not selling the retail units out. that's will be out of their control in future.
exp: KL times squares and Queens bay mall. both malls retail units almost half of it sold to different individual buyers due to financial problems.
now hard for them to control the tenant quality at the retail unit thats not belong to them.

Ahken gor, i am also very puzzled by the success of wangsa walk. Nothing remarkable inside but able to attract the crowds day and night. Perhaps its due to the karaoke (the legal kind), TGV cinema, bowling or fitness centre gus.

Yawor, why no bank at middle of cheras area? Found many banks at south cheras like batu 9, 11and balakong. Citi, Hsbc,MBB,pbb,Cimb,hlb,ocbc and Many more. Just MBB got 3 around and not far away.

Have to see how they manage it. Must have strong leasing team first. Gather up a nice mix of tenant list/category.

Need ahken gor's help to analyse got ong chi or not this area 

Any good unit still available?

7 floor car park, 9th floor unit will noise?
