I personally think this mall is going to be a success. The location /acessability right beside the highway is excellent. In addition, the size of the mall is enormous and this is one key advantage of this mall if compare to smaller malls such as alamanda. this place should be a new entertaining hub for southern klang valley when completed with hugh cinemas , ice skating rinks , pubs etc... I expect this mall to further spur the demands for putrajaya/cyberjaya properties. Alamanda is a failure in my opinion due to too many rules / restrictions within putrajaya

It is always better to buy nearby residence such as puteri palma condo which is within walking distance to this megamall if for investment. Equine park still needs a good 15 minutes drive (inclusive of trafic jam).
The last time I check the cheapest unit is abt RM490K for abt 1200 sqft for puteri palma

IOI strength is they are cash rich hence they can afford to build then sell . Their project at 16 sierra puchong south is not doing too well due to high price tag/leasehold/lack of amenities/poor marketing but yet they are not panicking as they can afford to slowly wait for buyers.

What I don't like about them is their sales office services are crap (based on my personal experience) and their management/owner have this chinaman mentality which is to maximize their profit whatever way possible . I am afraid that with this mentality, the IOI city mall may end up like another IOI puchong mall although the original concept/design of IOI city mall is very similar to pavilion KL.

They are clearing land to build another access road. The new condo will be build near puteri palma and the hills on the way to putrajaya. Indicative price is above rm 500 ++ persqft but leasehold. Better buy puteri palma which is still around rm400 per sqft and freehold and is meant to be a high end condo . I was told they will build an underground tunnel from pp to the ioi city mall.

Mind sharing the price u bought ( psf)?. My uncle bought 1 unit at blok a at rm300 psf from ioi on oct last year. He likes the peacefull environment of the place but complaining the maitenance at 25cents psf too high.

This trend cannot be avoided. Our government is doing a lousy job in attracting quality foreign investers from western countries and north asia. Most foreign owned manufacturing companies had relocated to china or thailand or vietnam. Hence now we are being flooded with middle east and africans who are hijacking a lot of condoss in klang valley. Managing a country is just like managing a mall - you will attract low quality tenants with poor management.

Safety wise is not a problem. The main problem with this condo is the high maintenance fee, lack of local food /chinese schools /kindergarden within 2 km radius, feeling of complete boredom / lack of activities etc. Hope things will change for the better with the completion of the mall.

anybody knows who will be the main tenants beside Parkson and GSC? i heard tesco or jayajusco will be there???

this is the best mall in southern klang valley. the retailers are selling affordable products yet branded. This suits typical malaysian who certainly do not need another starhill or certain pavillion retailers who caters only for millionaires. Of course there are also average malaysian who likes to shop like a millionaire which is why our bancrupt rates are high.....
