Boss, but even at that time Mutiara Damansara (MD) was so near to BU, Taman Tun etc, many high income families nearby to fast track the success of MD...

But look around Cochrane...Jusco Maluri is not a good gauge of the current local neighbourhood as the shoppers come from many places. The ex-Carrefour there can be a good representation n visited few times...compared to the patrons of Tesco at MD, they are from two different world...

So geographically Cochrane lack of the strong immediate surrounding income support...

Am sure Ikea later will find that their shopper profile in Cochrane to be very different from those at MD...

All link up.... 5 years down the road, it will be a totally different place.

This is TRX site taken by dengilo few days ago...

Why so crazy about IKEA? I realised IKEA Damansara always packed with people.

Ikea store n ikano power station r pulling in the crowds into d stores. Lots of people flock 2 ikea 2 eat its affordable swedish meals. If u get a unit at mutiara 482 sure ONG!

Ekocheras will find it difficult to beat mutiara 482..nothing beats ikea..

rm 1000 psf? 

even if the 2700 sf unit sells at rm800psf will make up to rm2.16m ... with tht money i can buy DSL landed in MD with balance cash to reno as i like and some saving as well ... same thing , there got ikea + ikano + curve + 1U ...

so y pay more for someting "to happen" while u can get something "happened"?

developers nowadays realli pricing kaw kaw

even if its Asia's biggest Ikea , doesnt mean staying opposite it had any special benefit .... houses near pasar borong selayang doesnt sell much higher than houses near pasar pagi ss17 ...

yeap. the cochrane station is underground mrt. this project worth to whack.
underground mrt make the surrounding more classy and city like. mrt underground = air-conditioned station 
mrt fly over the sky not so good. blocking the sky and nice surrounding view.

Can't think of benefits of staying within close distance of ikea, unlike a mall or hypermarket, u can visit daily for your needs, entertainment and convenience

But one does not need to visit ikea everyday, or go there to be entertained or find daily necessity there conveniently

Also the crowd at ikea MD on weekend is suffocating, not enough oxygen if u are caught in that mad crowd

Even at RM900 psf, current tenancy potential at cochrane very tough to achieve good return

No doubt the whole area is being transformed but will take time, if one don't have holding power, hmmmm, RISKY

True but IKEA is definitely one of the main actor

BBB project, can't wait to see it!

Wow so deep....  Highest EQ,  super sexy n like nobody knowable....  What s meaning?  Light me up boss

Bro, you never go to IKEA damansara ?  many ppl can give you this answer.
Go there during weekend to know how IKEA damansara perform instead of ask.

This project probably testing RM1,000-RM1,400psf.

Many project launching soon at much higher prices. More will be revealed soon, one of which is the project I'm involved in the technical planning, which appeared in newspaper on Saturday in Business section.

Yea, but ekocheras got no more dibs n ekovest also removed d 7% discount leh..

Tropicana heights is landed property in kajang. Gross price was increased fr 750k to rm809k within 3 weeks fr initial launch but after discount can still get at rm768k. If u wanna scout for new gated n guarded double storey terrace, u can consider the subsale terrace hse at kajang 2 selling at 700k. Kajang 2 terrace is located v near to the ktm substation which will bring u to the mrt station which is just 1 stop away. Thr is also an upcoming primary chinese school n a recently opened international school. Thr is also a proposed mall beside d ktm station.

He is sorta right - crowded doesnt mean theyre profitable. But being a private company in malaysia they would have exitted long ago if they were aways in the red.

buying power sibeh good at ikea lar ...

Need to see crowd whether they are shop?.. can see them walk around got carrying retailer's plastic bag or retailer's paper bag or not. or go stop at the cashier counter to c the how many people in the line. banyak people shop and buy there lar.

of coz traffic flow and the type of customer shop around here are important also... it determine the buying power.

and don't estimate on weekend sale only... weekday sale is very important also. only 2 days crowded and the rest of the days clap flies.. this type of mall....die lor.
