heard this mall only getting worse in term of footfall n average spend per visit.. all those who bought the apartment above may face living above a closed down mall by the time they VP.. Dnt think the mall can even last 3 yrs..

any idea why this retail is failing so badly?

I have been there only once during the early days of opening - at that time there were a few restaurants but
guess many have closed down.. I mean the location is not too bad and the population should be enough to support this mall in KD..? or am I missing something here ..wrong concept? poor management? poor access or parking?

It was failing b4 n now fail even more.. I bliv it was acquired by feldA with the bad share performance.. after 1 yr, share hardly worth half the listing price..
location, frontage n access is VERY BAD.. Only area in KD doing well now n will do is the giza dataran sunway, tropicana gardens, sunway nexis area (still empty now waiting for MRT). Encor/casket area is far from the centre of gravity n a mall. Management is another factor here with louya consultant hired.. good luck to those who bot apartment above stran mall   

Not being racist here but i heard from my retailer friends that Quikk mall in sultan ismail (which is dying at an even faster rate than encor) is facing the same problem n is further worse after EPFF bought it (retailer dnt trust in them)... I expect tht one to close down soon..

TG mall is smart, focus on grocer, cinema, amusement park n with jerde concept, i expect giza grocer to decline in biznes.. i stil think TGs mall will do OK at best as KDs spending power remains 'average' due to many LCost thr (albeit well planned).

actually not bad with ghost mall at least got starbucks and TGV ~
no need Q for ticket ~

much better

atleast got starbuck , TGV, kenny roger , super market , coffee , gym
resident no need go out basically.

Lazy upload...see yourself (not mine)

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.
