My opinion . I quite like this project .
Reasons :

Build above the Mall ( convenience , same like tropicana city ) ,
MRT project confirmed
Outstanding building design
Low density
Price cheaper than Sunwya Nexis

I'm wonder is it due to Felda jz took over encorp and they having internal restructuring thats why affected the construction work progress . Neighbour -Tropicana garden launched later than strand , their progress like lighting speed .

Wow , congratz bro ... mind share with us what makes you bought a unit in strand ? and also the price ?

Problem with people that area is they like to park outside and outside only, hence creating congestion around the area. Indoor malls are quiet as a result. If only we can find a way to channel those cars parking illegally into these malls...to generate crowd movement

On a side note, tropicana gardens mall is designed by Jerde (source: PTLM) now which will definitely make it one of the best looking malls around with thematic gardens etc.. they are also designing kl ecocity.. smile.gif smile.gif

Nope in the current golf range beside the NKVE.. not the best location (Best: TG, nexis, giza, dataran). So the mall will be on the right of nexis la.. nexis retail also not doing well, duno why sunway wana compete with TG here..

Ltg kor, i think this KD wont be BB but only 1 mall will do well which i hope TG leh.. hv to be FnB focused to fill up the mall la.. KD malls can serve KD (600k), Ara D (evolve mall is stronger than citta), tropicana, kwasa Damansara n sg Buloh areas..

Yes Empire will be another regional mall for Damansara which might affect curve n 1u too.. So it will be the 5th regional mall in selangor (1u,MV, SP, ioi City). ECs concept is good but access isnt la..

KLCC and Pavilion are at a different class...those attract super rich tourists (now from China and ME), thus they can sustain forever and ever.

Yes.. KLCC also got extension klcc new twin towers with a mall below tht will double KLCC malls size.. I also hope MRT2 station will be near klcc2..

Back to Encor mall.. as i hv predicted earlier, the mall will die by the time TG completes n the apartments above will suffer cos the mall is a fail mall which will reduce the value of the apartments.. now buyers here are paying a hefty price to be above a dying mall+far frm the MRT (although walkable).

Both mall targeting different segment of customer la .
for strand will be more to family and is a neighborhood mall , and TG more to a public mall and for shopping frenzy .if you like quiet jz go for strand , want crowded and shopping then TG .

Personally I like going to strand for movie .easy parking and easy ticket .
After movie then coffea coffee .If they can pull in more jap and korean cusine restaurant then lagi best .

Btw residence fully sold ? the progress is real real slow ... really dont understand what this people doing.

This Mall really bad feng shui. Never dare to go there alone at night.....Also management tidak apa, dont really care about their shoppers in the mall. Dangerous obstacles everywhere, people fell down here before due to the obstacles on the floor and injured badly but i believe the mall management cover up or don't even bother to do anything about it.
