I make it general here.
Saying living near KLCC is not good? Really? How down can that person be for saying this?
I'm saying this.
You can choose to believe I'm "down" and syiok sendiri, but the only thing that's down is the bank accounts of those buyers who bought KLCC prop and can't sell off or rent out...LOL!

Really praying for a crash i guess. Come on. It is not about the night life as well. Look at the banks that you can work in all over the place. It is the next financial hub with the coming of TRX. The ameneties are superb. Have low yat nearby to buy your pc or ur phones. The pack Pavillion everyday and very pack on Friday night in all the reatauraunts ground floor there. Yup the rich fellas with the high salary go there to have fun on Friday night. I know.

KLCC is high class for high income but it has very little to do with the availability (or lack of if you prefer) of a clubbing scene. As for the clubbing crowd in KLCC I thought it was a well known fact that the majority there is not locals (and that's even when excluding the foreign tourists) and that's the way it has been for at least the last couple of years. Hint: go to KLCC LRT station at any Friday/Saturday after 7pm and see who arrives and who leaves

Why would a company choose to pay higher office rent in KLCC (for example twin towers) compared with other office locations?
Because of the smooth KLCC traffic? Nahh, jammed.
Because of LRT station? I don't think so, got plenty of cheaper office locations along the LRT lines.
Because of great places to have lunch? Because of good shopping malls nearby?
Because it's KLCC and in Malaysia KLCC is associated with class. You know you want that KLCC address on your business card.
As for the TRX we'll have to wait and see how that develops, just because the gov't have some ideas about what kind of development they want there doesn't mean it will happen (e.g. Cyberjaya).
No one buys a house because it is near a club, but generally expatriates (wondering if any of you have ever worked with any before considering how clueless you are on your KLCC target market) would prefer to rent/live in an area with lots of amenities, nightlife (ie NOT just clubbing, but pubs, restaurants, live music environments etc) nearby. Notice amenities is included? Guess you didn't read the post where it was outlined that KLCC amenities are lacking compared to other suburbs.
KLCC associated with class? Perhaps, it could be so for office.
But not everyone wants to live close to the office and not every office is located in KLCC anyways.
Anyway, this is a silly argument. There is a reason why occupancy in KLCC is way low (much lower than the so-called "depressed" MK). And many flippers have been caught in KLCC - subsales there is slow like hell. Don't believe me? Go check with some CBD specialist agents, and make sure you hear the truth not marketing talk lol.
You can choose to believe I'm jealous, bla blablabla whatever. Caveat emptor, as they say.
