How long the crowds will be there?

Let's see in next 6 months if people still going there or not.

Just went there last weekends, The HOME PRO, are nothing to be excited about. Their marketing are quite similar to ACE which we have, only thing is its bigger and more varieties.

All visited before also give positive feedback.. wonder how long the crowd would last?

Actually im quite worry..
If can last for 6 months then would be really outstanding.. now still too early to judge

this side of Klang Valley really need a big mall....I think this will contribute to the long term success of IOI City Mall.....

Yup, agree

got LG and LG(a)...confusing!

i went on saturday, there's a korean restaurant temporarily closed to replenish food and ask customer to come back again after 5PM.
almost all restaurants on LG have people queuing.

they're already planning to open phase 2 with 1millon sq ft retail space.

PUTRAJAYA: IOI Properties Group Bhd said plans are already in the pipeline to add a further 1 million sq ft of retail space at IOI City Mall in Putrajaya as occupancy rate at the newly-opened complex reached 85%.

The group expects the current 1.5 million sq ft of lettable area at the mall to be fully occupied by February next year. To boost customer traffic, the mall operator is lobbying for a mass rapid transit (MRT) station to be open within its vicinity.

“We are looking at the possibility of expanding the mall under phase two of the project,” IOI City Mall Sdn Bhd general manager Chris Chong (pic) said yesterday.

He was speaking to reporters at the soft launch of the mall, which is situated in a large catchment area that includes Kajang, Seri Kembangan, Puchong, Putrajaya, and Cyberjaya.

“There are not many malls in the southern area of the Klang Valley,” he said.

The IOI City Mall is spread across four levels. The whole RM1.5bil complex includes two 29-storey office towers and the 21-storey Le Meridian Putrajaya hotel.

Construction of the office towers and the hotel is expected to be completed in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Chong did not elaborate on the cost and targeted expansion timeline, but said the planning stage would probably take about a year to complete.

“Once we finished the second phase, we would be the largest mall in Malaysia. We have already built the bridge to connect with the second phase of IOI City Mall,” he said.

Chong said the group was currently looking for opportunity for the second mass rapid transit (MRT2) line to have station at IOI City Mall.

“We are lobbying for it,” he noted.

Chong also said that IOI Properties was also looking to open a mall in China, IOI Xiamen, between end-2017 and early-2018. This will be part of the IOI Palm City 10 billion yuan (RM5.5bil) mixed development in Xiamen, China.

The group also has a present in Singapore.

“Every knows about the current market situation in Singapore,” IOI Properties chief executive officer Lee Yeow Seng said when met at the event.

“There are some projects we would hold and some we would proceed,” he said.

Earlier this month, IOI Properties proposed to undertake a rights issue of new shares to raise about RM1.03bil for capital expenditure, investment opportunities and working capital purposes.

wow... first time i hear this.... unexpected customer filling up all the restaurant.... really a good starter.... hope business will carry on like this...

is it too few restaurant available? or its bcoz too many visitor? are the restaurant at IOI sufficient enough?

i think too many visitors, the restaurants all cannot cope

i guess we have to wait for the hype to pass and visitor numbers stabalize

novelty factors nia....new toilet syndrome.....it will pass after CNY....

When the office block open, you will be assure that there'll be more working adults patronizing the mall.

IOI 1000% will do better than 1U and MV

better than 1U maybe. but better than MV... stil far away.

of course lor..after CNY it will be low season for all malls not just IOI

i think so far so good la IOI. the tenants are not bad so far. LG reminds me of mid valley.

just hope stronger tenants move in.

for it to die, i think won't. for it to be outstanding, only time can tell.

Brader......so confident meh???

Location kalah pada mv / 1u leh

very strong statement indeed.. I think first 6 months will do very well, then after that will do well but not as outstanding as now.

I remember my friends in klang telling me how AEON bukit tinggi's opening week/month was SUPER crowded and the crowd remained during the weekends for a few years. In recent years, the numbers are not as strong.

nevertheless, still feel that IOI City Mall will do extremely well for 3 yrs FnB tenants especially with very high buying power individuals nearby =)
