Prefer Eko cheras doesn't has a mall, this mall no matter how sure bring down the value of Eko cheras. ..
ask yourself, if you are not staying in Eko cheras, which mall you will go ? Sunway + ikea or Eko ??

Same as pavilion klcc vs sg wang...

theoretically speaking, if ekomall has a reasonable tenant mix and I stay in the connaught, tayton, yulek, etc area, probably ekomall on weekdays to avoid hassle and jam, and velkocity on weekends for more variety. but do not forget leisure mall.

leisure mall is only half d size of ekocheras mall. so hopefully ekocheras mall will hv a better variety and better tenant mix as the size permits it to.

my view is that it will be easier to rent ur unit with a mall and also with the mrt. rm2,300 rental shud b mrk rate.

u base that on soho or svc apt? certainly not hotel suite right? hahaha

Reli diff location bro.. EKC is closer to more resi neighborhoods like bukit segar etc.. Purely in terms of serving cheras, EKC is much btr located than velocity which caters to maluri+pandan+tun razak+north cheras areas..

Overall, Velocity area has a lot of things coming up nearby but the area remains what it is, a really low end/lousy area..

but i do observe that ekocheras progress is behind schedule by at least 4 months..

Only time will tell whther EKC will be successful or nt
Susah lo imho...

Yes i think the location is good but the mall management n developer cashflow/background..

EC ia behind schedule by more than 7 months... still digging its way thru after 1.5yrs..

Location so so, catchment area small..
Offices might do well
Residences and mall. nah dnt think so la

Location so so..!? Are u cheras Lang?

obviously not n probably nvr been to the site or looked at wikimapia...ekocheras location fr commercial is very good..

This Cheras area is 1 of the sibeh high concentration Of commi area. Sibeh ong and jam pack. N Super near to another Sibeh ong commi area Connaught.. Sibeh manyak banks locate here. Rare standchart bank also can be found here.

You think nearby velocity areas are poorer cousin of ekocheras nearby areas?

Sorry i am just asking. Have no idea of demographic in cheras.

yes i agree this area for commercial has potential probably F&B
but as for Mall and residences...i hv my doubts

But Cheras maluri (velocity) area rental is super duper strong compare to ekocheras area. Due to velo area Sibeh near city center. Take Amaya apartment at maluri as example... Rental Sibeh not bad Ler. Also commi n night life at maluri Sibeh vibrant. Don't forget maluri also well connect with lrt and underground mrt. Which Ekocheras elek.
