Went to Grand Shanghai for dinner last Sat, jam pack with people...

Cannot see the clear line of differentiation between residence and commercial, normally a good mixed development design should have clear separate lobby/entrance, different carpark entrance etc...in SW case, like all rojak already...

Really wonder how long more SW has to wait before retailers start moving in. I recall 1Puchong shops took more than 4 years to fill up.

Anyone knows whether does SP Setia management doing any efforts to bring in the crowd?

Haha..am always lurking around, just that didnt pose due to my limited knowledge in property investment.
Just basing on my instinct as consumer to put up some of the comments. More to learn here.

Weekdays' afternoon crowd in SW really bad. I saw many outlets bungkus due to poor biz.
Some agents said more than half of the offices had done 2nd hand transactions, meaning bought over by genuine occupants.
With more offices above being occupied, only then the retailers can start to flourish.

Is it Grand Shanghai,
Or Loudspeaker Karaoke,
Or recent promotion on Valentines Day?
Ever since CNY, there is suddenly a huge crowd in SW especially during weekend. This is a very good sign and I hope more value added shops can open in SW.
Ya, there is really a need now to increase the parking machine on selected areas. They are always in long que. Wouldn't it be better if we have manual collection booth when exiting during peak hrs ?

Not boss lah.

Yes jmb has asked for the offical quote from parking operator to install another machine for Block K -most probabily placed side by side.

where is Block K?

Sw without those pud definitely a big impact !!!!!

why pub is a crowd puller?
pub pulls questionable characters
not that all drinkers are questionable but you can actually see it certain tables
there were one fight before i heard in the car park of sw
even in one of the residential blocks after party
a good dining concept will also pull crowds. why people drive to klang for seafood telok gong? so food can also pull crowds

DP should be dining pot as planned by sp setia.
a123, is there any term in the agreement that says the tenant/owner of DP must adhere to this? only for restaurants and not pub? sp setial should control this. now it seems like no control. i think the corner pub already closed near caring pharmacy.
it is okay to have something like TGIF and serve beers but not open concept blasting, DJ shouting like last night around 11pm.

Actually we lacked in Fine dining area that comes with wine & nice ambience. Puchong have too many restaurants of similar type. Again, buffet restaurants of hot-pot style with Haagen Daz, Angus beef & others should be promoted.

Occupy the empty hotel block is good suggestion and bring in more biz for makan outlet.  But big NO-NO turning R1,R2 & R3 into student hostel.

Actually i am quite surprised that at such high price, SW is still attractive to uni students. That really proves students are really rich.  A campus will bring lots of problems.
Looking at the current situation, SW still have high potential for cap appreciation and rental value in future. The crowd is unbelievable during weekend. Coming thru SW will see more exciting shops and office mushrooming. Hope owners won't be short sighted and simply rent out causing the values to drop.

Student's spending power is quite strong nowadays, parents hv unlimited support to their child especially for education and accommodation, rental collection is rather easier than normal tenant, student has no feeling / burden to pay rental.
I kenot deny that Msian is bias towards African students, if the college is occupied by Russian chicks, I am sure the response is the other round.
Students will boost the population, good for the pubs, cinema and shops.

there is long q coming into sw last sat, i was so surprised to see it. jam til pusat bdr puchong la

Just for info, Bank Islam is bringing Unifi to its SW branch at their own cost.

Why cant Bank Islam branch taking the maxis fiber instead of paying own cost to hv unifi? Corporate standard? Or Maxis Fibre tak boleh? If this possible, then no use for Maxis to stay in this area as it or its rule set has disturbing everybody daily business needs. MCMC or whoever shall revise this monopoly rules. Who cannot perform, shall be out.
